7. Troubleshooting

• No Power to Devices:
  • Ensure the Addtam surge protector is securely plugged into a functioning wall outlet.

  • Ensure your USB cable is properly connected to both the device and the Addtam unit.
  • Try a different USB port or cable to rule out a faulty connection or cable.
  • Confirm that the device you are trying to charge is compatible with USB charging.
• Loose Fit in Wall Outlet:
  • Ensure the central screw is tightened to secure the unit to the wall outlet.
  • If the wall outlet itself is worn or loose, it may require professional inspection or replacement.

8. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the unit for any signs of damage, such as cracks, frayed wires, or discoloration. If damage is found, discontinue use and replace the unit.
