Operating Instructions

Using the Cigarette Lighter Sockets

The Qidoe Car Charger Splitter provides three additional 12V/24V cigarette lighter sockets. Each socket is equipped with an independent power button for individual control.

• To power a device, insert its plug into one of the three sockets.
• Press the corresponding power button located above the socket. A blue LED light will illuminate, indicating the socket is active.
• To turn off a socket, press its button again. The blue LED will turn off.

This image highlights the three 12V/24V cigarette lighter sockets on the splitter unit. Above each socket is an independent power button, allowing users to control power to each socket separately. The image also shows examples of devices that can be powered, such as a dash cam, GPS, and cooler box.

This image focuses on the individual power buttons located above each cigarette lighter socket. It illustrates the 'ON' state with a glowing blue ring and the 'OFF' state with a dark button, demonstrating how to control power to each socket independently.

Using the USB Charging Ports

The splitter unit includes four USB charging ports for various devices:

• PD3.0 USB-C Port (30W): Connect compatible USB-C devices for rapid charging, such as modern smartphones and tablets.
• QC3.0 USB-A Port (18W): Connect Quick Charge compatible devices for accelerated charging speeds.
• Two 2.4A USB-A Ports: Ideal for charging standard USB-powered devices like older smartphones, GPS units, or other accessories.

Simply connect your device's USB charging cable to the appropriate port. The device will automatically detect and provide the optimal charging current.

This image demonstrates the charging capabilities of the splitter, showing a smartphone connected to the USB-C port and a tablet connected to one of the USB-A ports. Both devices are actively charging, highlighting the fast charging features.

Voltmeter Display

The LED display on the main cigarette lighter plug provides real-time monitoring of your vehicle's battery voltage. This feature helps you keep track of your battery's health.

• Normal Range (After Start-up): Typically 13.4V ~ 14.8V.
• Normal Range (Before Starting): Typically 12.2V ~ 12.8V.
• Low Voltage Warning: If the voltage drops below 12V, the display will flash, indicating that the car battery may need to be checked or replaced.

This diagram illustrates the different voltage readings on the integrated voltmeter. It shows that 13.4V~14.8V is the normal range after starting the car, 12.2V~12.8V is the normal range before starting, and below 12V indicates a need to check or change the car battery.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean the device, gently wipe its surface with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, abrasive materials, or chemical solvents, as these may damage the product.

Fuse Replacement

The Qidoe Car Charger Splitter is equipped with an auto-recovery 15A fuse for protection against electrical faults. In the event of an overload or short circuit, the fuse will automatically reset. If the device stops functioning, and you suspect a fuse issue, you can check and replace the fuse located within the main cigarette lighter plug. A spare fuse is included with your purchase.

Troubleshooting

Device not powering on / No voltage display

Ensure the main plug is fully and securely inserted into your vehicle's cigarette lighter socket. Check your vehicle's fuse box to ensure the cigarette lighter socket's fuse is not blown. If the issue persists, the device's internal fuse may need to be checked or replaced (refer to Maintenance section).

Devices not charging via USB ports

Verify that the main power switch on the cigarette lighter plug is in the 'ON' position. Ensure the charging cable is functional and properly connected to both the splitter and your device. Confirm that your device is compatible with the specific USB port (e.g., USB-C for PD, etc.).

Voltage display flashing

A flashing voltage display indicates that your vehicle's battery voltage is outside the normal operating range (either too high or too low). This could signal a potential issue with your vehicle's battery or charging system. If this persists, it is recommended to consult a qualified vehicle technician.

Individual cigarette lighter sockets not working

Ensure the individual power button for that specific socket is pressed and its blue LED indicator is illuminated. Check if the device you are trying to power is functioning correctly and not drawing excessive power.
