3. Cable Management: Utilize the side-access design to route cables neatly, especially when placing furniture close to the wall.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the extender from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or sprays.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the extender for any signs of physical damage, such as cracks, frayed wires, or discoloration.
• Storage: When not in use, store the extender in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.

Troubleshooting

• Device Not Receiving Power:
  • Ensure the extender is fully and securely plugged into the wall outlet.
  • Check if the wall outlet itself is functional by plugging in another device directly.
  • Verify that the total power consumption of all connected devices does not exceed 1875W. Unplug some devices to test.
  • Check your home's circuit breaker or fuse box if multiple outlets are not working.
• Loose Fit in Wall Outlet:
  • Ensure the wall outlet is a standard 3-prong type.
  • If the fit remains loose, consider using a different wall outlet. A worn-out wall outlet may require replacement by a qualified electrician.
• Extender Feels Warm:
  • A slight warmth is normal during operation. However, if the extender feels excessively hot, immediately unplug all devices and the extender from the wall.
  • Reduce the number of connected devices or their power consumption. Do not use for high-wattage appliances.
