Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the power strip from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the power strip in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• 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.

Troubleshooting

• No Power to Devices:
  • Ensure the power strip's master On/Off switch is in the 'On' position and the blue indicator light is illuminated.
  • Check if the power strip is securely plugged into a functioning wall outlet.
  • Verify that the wall outlet itself has power by testing it with another device.
  • If the overload protection has tripped (power automatically shut off), unplug some devices and press the reset button (if available, or cycle the On/Off switch) to restore power.
• Devices Not Charging via USB:
  • Ensure the power strip is powered on.
  • Try a different USB cable or a different USB port on the power strip.
  • Confirm that your device is compatible with the USB charging specifications (5V/2.4A Max shared output).
• Overheating:
  • If the power strip feels excessively hot, immediately unplug it from the wall and disconnect all devices.
  • Ensure proper ventilation around the unit and avoid covering it. Reduce the number of high-power devices connected simultaneously.
