Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the TROND power strip from its packaging.
2. Placement: Choose a suitable location for the power strip. Consider the length of the 15-foot cord and the proximity to your devices. The flat plug design allows for placement behind furniture.
3. Mounting (Optional): If wall-mounting or under-desk mounting is desired, use appropriate screws (not included) with the two mounting holes on the back of the unit. Ensure the mounting surface is secure.
4. Connect to Power: Plug the power strip's flat plug into a standard 3-prong 125V AC wall outlet.
5. Power On: Press the ON/OFF switch located on the power strip to activate it. The indicator light will illuminate.

Operating Instructions

• Connecting Devices: Insert the power cords of your electronic devices into any of the 12 AC outlets. The wide spacing accommodates larger adapters.
• USB Charging: Connect your USB-powered devices (smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, etc.) to the USB-A or USB-C ports using their respective charging cables.
• Surge Protection: The power strip continuously monitors for power surges and will automatically protect connected devices up to 4000 Joules. In the event of an extreme surge, the surge protector may sacrifice itself to protect your equipment.
• Overload Protection: If the total power draw of connected devices exceeds 1875W (15A), the built-in circuit breaker will trip to prevent overload. If this occurs, unplug some devices, then press the reset button (usually combined with the ON/OFF switch) to restore power.
• Power Indicator: A small LED indicator light on the power strip confirms that the unit is receiving power and the surge protection is active.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the power strip from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord and the unit for any signs of damage, such as frayed wires or cracked casing. If damage is found, discontinue use 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.
