4. Safety and Maintenance

Your TESSAN Universal Travel Adapter is designed with safety features to protect your devices. Proper use and care will ensure its longevity.

Safety Precautions:

  • No Voltage Conversion: As stated previously, this adapter does not convert voltage. Always verify that your electronic devices are dual voltage compatible (100V-250V) before use.
  • Avoid High-Power Appliances: Do not use with high-power appliances such as hair dryers, straighteners, curling irons, or electric kettles unless the appliance explicitly states wide voltage compatibility.
  • Double Fuse Protection: The adapter includes double 10A fuses for overcurrent protection. If a fuse blows, it can be replaced with a spare fuse (typically located within the adapter or provided separately).

If you encounter issues with your TESSAN Universal Travel Adapter, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

    • Inspect the adapter's fuse. If blown, replace it with a spare 10A fuse.
  • Overheating:
    • Unplug all devices and the adapter from the wall.
    • Reduce the number of devices being charged simultaneously, especially high-power ones.
    • Ensure adequate ventilation around the adapter.
