• USB-C Fast & Smart Charge: Equipped with 4 USB ports providing a total of 4.5A output. Each USB-A port delivers up to 2.4A, while the USB-C port offers a maximum of 3A. Smart technology automatically detects connected devices and delivers optimal charging speed. Note: The USB-C port does not support devices requiring 14-22V charging voltage.
• 1800J Surge Protection: Features 3 complementary Surge Protection Circuits (TVS, MOV, GDT) with a response speed of less than 1 nanosecond and a minimum energy-absorbing capacity of 1800 Joules. A "SURGE PROTECTED" indicator light confirms active protection for your devices.
• Enhanced Safety: ETL certified, this power strip includes multiple safety protections: overload protection, short-circuit protection, over-current protection, over-voltage protection, and overheating protection. It automatically cuts power to protect connected devices during overwhelming voltage surges. The fire-resistant casing further ensures safety.

Setup

The Addtam USB Wall Charger Surge Protector is designed for simple plug-and-play installation. It is intended to be plugged directly into a standard duplex wall outlet.

1. Locate a standard duplex wall outlet.
2. Align the prongs of the Addtam unit with the top and bottom receptacles of the wall outlet. Ensure the white plastic prong (if present and not needed for your specific outlet type) can be removed or is compatible.
3. Firmly push the unit into the wall outlet until it is securely seated. The "SURGE PROTECTED" indicator light should illuminate green, confirming proper connection and active surge protection.

Operating Instructions

Once the Addtam unit is securely plugged into a wall outlet and the "SURGE PROTECTED" light is green, you can begin connecting your devices.

• AC Outlets: Plug your standard electronic devices (e.g., lamps, small appliances, chargers) into any of the 5 widely spaced AC outlets located on the three sides of the unit.
• USB Charging Ports: Connect your USB-powered devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets, smartwatches) to the available USB-A or USB-C ports. The smart charging technology will automatically detect your device and deliver the optimal charging current.
• Surge Protection Indicator: The green "SURGE PROTECTED" light indicates that the surge protection feature is active and functioning. If this light is off, the surge protection may have been compromised, and the unit should be replaced to ensure continued protection for your devices.

Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Addtam USB Wall Charger Surge Protector, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Keep the unit clean by wiping it with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol sprays.
• Ensure the unit is unplugged from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Avoid exposing the unit to moisture or extreme temperatures.
• Regularly check the "SURGE PROTECTED" indicator light to confirm active protection.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Addtam USB Wall Charger Surge Protector, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• No Power to Devices:
  • Ensure the unit is firmly plugged into a functioning wall outlet.
  • Check if the "SURGE PROTECTED" light is illuminated green. If not, the unit's surge protection may have expired or the outlet may not be receiving power.
  • Test the wall outlet with another device to confirm it is operational.
• "SURGE PROTECTED" Light is Off:
  • This indicates that the surge protection components have absorbed a significant surge and are no longer providing protection. The unit will still function as a power extender, but its surge protection capability is exhausted. It is recommended to replace the unit for continued surge protection.
• USB Devices Not Charging:
  • Verify that the USB cable is securely connected to both the unit and your device.
  • Ensure your device is compatible with the USB-C port's voltage requirements (not for devices needing 14-22V).
  • Try a different USB port or cable to rule out cable or port issues.
