6.1 Understanding the LCD Display

The LCD display provides real-time information about the charging status of your devices.

• Voltage (V): Indicates the output voltage supplied to the connected device.
• Current (A): Indicates the output current drawn by the connected device.
• Port Number (NO.): Displays the number of the currently monitored port (1-6).

6.2 Switching Display Between Ports

To view the charging information for a specific port:

• Press the small button located next to the LCD display (labeled 'Cut' in Figure 2).
• Each press will cycle through the connected ports, displaying their respective voltage and current.

6.3 Simultaneous Charging

The charging station can charge up to six devices concurrently. Each port operates independently to optimize charging speed for the connected device.

8. Troubleshooting

• Device not charging:
  • Ensure the charging station is properly plugged into a live power outlet.
  • Check if the charging cable is securely connected to both the device and the charging station.
  • Try a different USB-C port on the charging station.
  • Test with a different charging cable or device to isolate the issue.
• Slow charging:
  • Verify that your device supports fast charging and that you are using a compatible fast-charging cable.
  • Ensure the total power draw from all connected devices does not exceed 140W. If the display is flashing, reduce the number of connected devices.
  • Some devices may charge slower if they are in active use or running power-intensive applications.
• LCD display not working or flashing:
  • If the display is flashing, it indicates an overload protection activation. Disconnect some devices to reduce the total power draw.
  • Ensure the power cable is firmly connected.
  • If the display remains off, try unplugging and re-plugging the charging station from the wall outlet.

9. Care and Maintenance

• Keep the charging station away from water, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
• Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
