6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and safe operation of your TESSAN power strip, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Cleaning: Disconnect the power strip from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the power strip and its cord for any signs of damage, such as frayed wires, cracked casing, or loose connections. If any damage is found, discontinue use immediately and contact customer support.
  • Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the power strip in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Use the included cable tie to keep the cord neatly organized.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your TESSAN power strip, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

  • No Power to Devices:
    • Ensure the power strip is securely plugged into a functioning wall outlet.
    • Check if the power button on the strip is in the 'ON' position and the indicator light is illuminated.
    • Verify that the wall outlet itself is working by plugging in another device directly.
    • If the power strip has a reset button (often combined with the power switch), try pressing it to reset the surge protection.
  • Slow USB Charging:
    • Ensure you are using a high-quality USB cable.
    • Check if your device supports faster charging speeds and if the power strip's ports are compatible.
    • Avoid charging too many high-power devices simultaneously, as this can affect overall charging speed.
  • Overheating:
    • If the power strip feels excessively hot, immediately unplug it and all connected devices.
    • Ensure the total wattage of connected devices does not exceed the power strip's maximum rating (1875W).
    • Ensure adequate ventilation around the power strip.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact TESSAN customer support for further assistance.
