6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Ensure the power strip is unplugged and all devices are disconnected before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord and the power strip for any signs of damage, such as fraying, cuts, or discoloration. Discontinue use if damage is found.
• Storage: When not in use, store the power strip in a cool, dry place. Use the included cable ties to keep the cord organized.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Power:
  • Check if the power strip's main switch is in the 'ON' position.
  • Ensure the power strip is securely plugged into a working wall outlet.
  • If the 'Protected' light is off, the surge protection may have expired. Replace the unit.
  • If the 'Grounded' light is off, there may be a grounding issue with the wall outlet. Consult an electrician.
• Overload: If the power strip shuts off unexpectedly, it may be due to an overload. Unplug some devices and press the 'Reset' button on the power switch.
• USB Charging Issues: Ensure your device's charging cable is properly connected. Verify that your device does not require a Quick Charger 3.0 or higher voltage (9-22V) as the USB-C port does not support these.
