Operating Instructions
- AC Outlets: Plug your electronic devices directly into any of the 8 AC outlets. The wide spacing accommodates larger power bricks.
- USB Charging: Connect your USB-powered devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.) to the USB-A or USB-C ports. The power strip will automatically detect and deliver the appropriate charging current up to the specified maximums.
- Power Switch: Use the integrated ON/OFF switch to control power to all connected devices. In case of an overload, the switch will trip to the 'OFF' position to protect your devices. Reset by switching it back to 'ON' after reducing the load.
