- Connect to power: Insert the assembled converter into a wall power outlet.
- Power Indicator: The LED indicator on the unit will light up. A green light indicates normal operation for both AC and USB ports.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Using the AC Outlet (Voltage Conversion)
- Ensure the converter is properly plugged into a wall outlet and the green LED is lit.
- Connect your 100V Japanese appliance to the AC outlet on the converter.
- Verify that the total power consumption of your connected AC device(s) does not exceed 150W.
- Turn on your appliance.
Important Note:
- This converter is designed for low-power electronics. Do not use with appliances rated over 150W, such as most hair dryers, curling irons, or electric kettles. Using high-power devices will trigger the protection mechanism and may damage the converter or the appliance.
- The output is 100VAC. This is suitable for devices designed for 100V input, commonly found in Japan.
6.2 Using the USB Charging Ports
The converter features one USB-C PD20W port and one USB-A QC18W port for charging your mobile devices.
- Ensure the converter is properly plugged into a wall outlet and the green LED is lit.
- Connect your smartphone, tablet, or other USB-powered device to the appropriate USB-C or USB-A port using a compatible USB cable.
- For Apple devices (iPhone/iPad/iPod), use the original charging cable provided with your device for optimal performance.
- Charging will begin automatically.
6.3 LED Indicator Status
- Green Light: AC outlet and USB ports are operating normally.
- Red Light: The AC outlet has entered protection mode due to overload, overheating, or a short circuit.
- Light Off: The unit is powered off, or the USB ports have entered protection mode due to overload or a loose connection.
7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Disconnect the converter from the power outlet before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Storage: Store the converter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture when not in use.
- Dust Prevention: The AC outlet features a shutter mechanism to prevent dust ingress and electric shock. Ensure it is clean and free of debris.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power/LED off | Converter not plugged in correctly; Wall outlet has no power; Loose connection. | Ensure the converter is securely plugged into a live wall outlet. Check the wall outlet with another device. Re-attach the plug adapter firmly. |
| Red LED light is on | AC outlet overload; Overheating; Short circuit. | Unplug all devices immediately. Reduce the total load to below 150W. Allow the unit to cool down if it feels hot. Check devices for short circuits. Reconnect after a few minutes. |
| USB ports not charging/LED off | USB port overload; Loose USB cable connection; Faulty USB cable/device. | Ensure USB cables are securely connected. Try a different USB cable or device. Reduce the number of devices charging simultaneously. |
| Device not working with AC outlet | Device power consumption exceeds 150W; Device requires a different voltage than 100V. | Check your device's power rating. This converter is only for devices up to 150W and converts to 100V. It is not a universal voltage adapter for all devices. |
