Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your SoulBay Universal Power Adapter:

1. Select the Correct DC Tip

• Identify the correct DC tip that matches your device's power input port. The adapter comes with 14 different tips, including common sizes like 5.5x2.1mm, Micro USB, and Type C.
• Carefully attach the selected tip to the output cable of the power adapter.

2. Set the Output Voltage

• Before connecting to your device, locate the voltage adjustment knob on the power adapter.
• Rotate the knob to select the required voltage for your device (e.g., 3V, 4.5V, 5V, 6V, 7.5V, 8V, 9V, 10V, 12V, 13.5V, 14V, 15V, 16V, 18V, 19V, 20V, 21V, 24V). The selected voltage will be displayed on the digital screen.
• Important: Always confirm your device's required voltage before setting. Using an incorrect voltage can damage your device.

3. Confirm Polarity

• Most devices use a center-positive (+) polarity. The SoulBay adapter is configured for center-positive by default.
• If your device requires center-negative (-) polarity, use the included reverse polarity converter cable. Connect the converter cable between the adapter's output cable and the selected DC tip.
• Critical Warning: Incorrect polarity can cause severe damage to your device and the power adapter. Always verify your device's polarity requirements before connecting. Refer to your device's manual for polarity information.

Troubleshooting

No Power Output / Device Not Turning On

• Check Power Connection: Ensure the adapter is securely plugged into a working wall outlet.
• Verify Voltage Setting: Confirm the output voltage on the adapter's display matches your device's required voltage. Adjust if necessary.
• Check DC Tip Connection: Ensure the DC tip is firmly connected to both the adapter cable and your device's input port.
• Confirm Polarity: Double-check that the polarity (center positive/negative) matches your device's requirements. Use the reverse polarity cable if needed.
• Device Compatibility: Ensure your device's current requirement does not exceed 3A.
• Test with Another Device: If possible, test the adapter with another compatible device to determine if the issue is with the adapter or your original device.

Unstable Voltage Display

• Ensure the adapter is not overloaded. The total power consumption of your device should not exceed 72W.
• Check for loose connections at both the wall outlet and the device.

Maintenance

• Keep the adapter clean and free from dust. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Store the adapter in a cool, dry place when not in use.
