5. Operating Instructions
The Anker 747 Charger features 4 ports: 3 USB-C ports and 1 USB-A port. It intelligently distributes power to connected devices.
Figure 5: The Anker 747 Charger can fast charge up to four devices simultaneously.
Connecting Devices:
- Connect your device's charging cable to the appropriate port on the Anker 747 Charger.
- Plug the other end of the cable into your device.
- The charger will automatically detect your device and begin charging.

- Cleaning: Disconnect the charger from the power outlet and all devices before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
- Storage: Store the charger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the foldable prongs are retracted for compact storage.
7. Troubleshooting
Common Issues and Solutions:
- Charger not working:
- Ensure the charger is securely plugged into a working wall outlet.
- Check if the charging cable is properly connected to both the charger and your device.
- Try using a different wall outlet or charging cable.
- Slow charging:
- Verify that your device and cable support fast charging.
- Ensure you are using the correct port for your device's power requirements (e.g., a high-wattage USB-C port for laptops).
- If multiple devices are connected, the power output per port may be reduced due to dynamic power distribution. Disconnect other devices to test individual port performance.
- Charger feels warm:
- It is normal for the charger to become warm during operation, especially under heavy load. ActiveShield 2.0 technology manages temperature to ensure safe limits.
- If the charger becomes excessively hot, disconnect it immediately and contact customer support.
