5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Using AC Outlets
Plug your electronic devices directly into any of the five AC outlets. The wide spacing (1.7 inches) between outlets allows for larger power adapters without blocking adjacent ports.

5.2 Using USB Charging Ports
Connect your USB-powered devices to the available USB-C or USB-A ports. The USB-C port provides up to 3A maximum output, and each USB-A port provides up to 2.4A maximum output. The actual charging current will be determined by the device's power requirements.

5.3 Controlling the Night Light
The integrated night light features a dusk-to-dawn sensor, which automatically turns the light on when ambient lighting is insufficient and off when it is bright enough. A touch sensor switch is also provided to manually control the night light.
- Automatic Mode: The night light will activate automatically in dim conditions.
- Manual Control: Touch the sensor switch (indicated by a light bulb icon) to manually turn the night light ON or OFF, overriding the automatic sensor.

6. Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Addtam Surge Protector:
- Keep the device clean and free from dust. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
- Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
- Ensure proper ventilation around the device.
7. Troubleshooting
- No Power to Outlets/USB Ports:
- Check if the surge protector is securely plugged into a working wall outlet.
- Verify that the wall outlet itself is functional by plugging in another device.
- Ensure the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed 1875W. Overload protection may have activated. Unplug some devices and reset if applicable (this model does not specify a reset button, so assume unplugging is the primary action).
- Night Light Not Working Automatically:
- Ensure the ambient light is sufficiently dim for the dusk-to-dawn sensor to activate.
- Touch the sensor switch to manually turn the light on. If it turns on manually, the automatic sensor may be detecting too much light.
- During packaging or transportation, the touch switch may have been pressed, turning the night light function off. Use the touch switch to reactivate it.
- Slow USB Charging:
- Ensure your device is compatible with the USB port's output (USB-C 3A Max, USB-A 2.4A Max).
- Check the charging cable for damage.
- Some devices may have specific charging requirements that exceed the port's capabilities.
