• Cable Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cable and connectors for any signs of damage, fraying, or loose connections. Discontinue use if damage is observed.
• Ventilation: Ensure the unit has adequate ventilation and is not covered, although it generates minimal heat.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your iFi iPower X, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Device Not Powering On:
  • Verify that the iPower X is securely plugged into a functional wall outlet.
  • Ensure the correct connector tip is firmly inserted into your device.
  • Confirm that your device requires 5V DC power and that the iPower X is the correct voltage model.
  • Test the wall outlet with another device to ensure it is supplying power.
• Noise Persists or Increases:
  • Ensure all connections are tight and secure.
  • Try plugging the iPower X into a different wall outlet, preferably one not shared with other high-power electronics.
  • Isolate the device and iPower X from other potential sources of electrical interference.
  • Confirm that the noise is indeed electrical and not originating from the audio source or device itself.
• Loose Connection: If the barrel tip feels loose in your device's port, try a different tip from the provided assortment to find the best fit.
