6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device not powering on. | Incorrect voltage setting. Incorrect connector tip. Loose connection. Power outlet issue. | Verify the voltage setting matches your device's requirement. Ensure the correct tip is used and securely connected. Check all connections. Test the power outlet with another device. |
| Adapter feels hot. | Overload or poor ventilation. | Ensure the device's power requirement does not exceed the adapter's output capacity (1.75W, 350mA). Place the adapter in a well-ventilated area. |
| Green LED not lit. | No power from outlet or internal fault. | Check the power outlet. If the outlet is functional and the LED remains off, the adapter may be faulty. |
