6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your adapter, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Power Output:
  • Check if the adapter is securely plugged into the wall outlet.
  • Verify that the wall outlet is functional by testing with another device.
  • The internal fuse may have blown. Refer to the Maintenance section for fuse replacement instructions.
• Device Not Charging or Charging Slowly:
  • Ensure your device's charging cable is properly connected to both the adapter and your device.
  • Confirm your device is compatible with the adapter's output specifications (voltage and current).
  • If multiple devices are connected, the total power output may be distributed. Try charging fewer devices or using the 70W GaN USB-C port for high-power devices.
• Adapter Feels Loose in Outlet:
  • Some outlets may have looser connections. Ensure the plug is fully inserted.
  • Avoid hanging heavy devices directly from the adapter, as this can strain the connection.
• Adapter is Hot:
  • It is normal for the adapter to become warm during operation, especially when charging multiple devices or high-power devices.
  • If the adapter becomes excessively hot or emits smoke/odor, immediately unplug it and discontinue use. Contact customer support.
