4. Setup and Connection

The DROK USB Tester is designed for plug-and-play operation. Follow these steps to set up and connect the device:

1. Identify Ports: The tester has a USB-A input, a USB-C input, and two output ports: OUTPUT I (USB-A) and OUTPUT II (USB-A).
2. Connect Power Source: Plug the USB-A or USB-C input of the tester into your power source (e.g., wall charger, power bank, computer USB port). The display should light up.
3. Connect Device: Plug the device you wish to test (e.g., smartphone, tablet, USB fan) into either OUTPUT I or OUTPUT II of the tester.
4. Activate Output (if necessary): If using USB-C IN and USB-A OUT, or if the display shows no readings, long press Button I for 5 seconds to activate the output. This is typically required when voltage is ≥ 5V.

Understanding Dual USB Outputs:

• OUTPUT I (USB-A): Supports both device charging and data transfer. The charging current is determined by compatibility between the power source and the connected device.
• OUTPUT II (USB-A): Designed for device charging only. It features a built-in intelligent charging control IC that automatically matches the most appropriate and safest current for your devices. Suitable for both original and non-original chargers.

5. Operation

The DROK USB Tester features a simple two-button interface for controlling its functions and display modes.

Button Functions:

• Button I (Top Button):
  • Long Press (5 seconds): Activates output when voltage is ≥ 5V (especially for USB-C IN and USB-A OUT configurations).
  • Long Press (5 seconds) at the same time as Button II: Resets accumulated capacity data.
• Button II (Bottom Button):
  • Short Press: Switches between the 7 display modes.
  • Long Press (5 seconds) at the same time as Button I: Resets accumulated capacity data.

Display Modes:

The tester cycles through 7 display modes with each short press of Button II:

1. VA (Voltage & Current): Displays real-time voltage (V) and current (A).
2. C (Capacity): Displays accumulated capacity (mAh).
3. P (Power): Displays real-time power (W).
4. VA+C: Displays Voltage, Current, and accumulated Capacity.
5. VA+P: Displays Voltage, Current, and Power.
6. C+P: Displays Capacity and Power.
7. VA+C+P: Displays Voltage, Current, Capacity, and Power.

To reset the accumulated capacity (mAh) reading, simultaneously long press both Button I and Button II for 5 seconds.
