Operating Instructions

Using the AC Socket

  1. Extend the appropriate plug for your wall outlet as described in the Setup section.
  2. Insert the adapter into the wall outlet.
  3. Ensure your appliance is dual voltage compatible (100-240V).
  4. Plug your appliance's power cord into the universal AC socket on the adapter.
  5. The maximum AC output is 2000W. Do not connect appliances exceeding this wattage.

It also lists various compatible devices such as Bluetooth speakers, shavers, cameras, electric toothbrushes, and fans, while reiterating the 2000W maximum AC power and the requirement for dual voltage appliances.

Using the USB Charging Ports

The adapter features two USB-C ports and one USB-A port for charging your electronic devices.

  • USB-C1: Up to 45W max output (when used alone).
  • USB-C2: Up to 12W max output (when used alone).
  • USB-A1: Up to 30W max output (when used alone).
  • Combined Use: The intelligent chip automatically distributes power when multiple devices are connected. For example, C1+C2 provides 42W max, and C1+A1 provides 18W max.

Connect your USB charging cables to the appropriate ports on the adapter and then to your devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets, smartwatches).

Maintenance

Fuse Replacement

The decqle Universal Travel Adapter is equipped with two 8A fuses for protection against overcurrent. One fuse is active, and the other is a spare. If the adapter stops functioning, the fuse may need replacement.

  1. Disconnect Power: Unplug the adapter from the wall outlet and disconnect all devices.
  2. Locate Fuse Compartment: The fuse compartment is typically located on the side of the adapter.
  3. Open Compartment: Use a small flat-head screwdriver or a similar tool to gently pry open the fuse compartment cover.
  4. Replace Fuse: Carefully remove the blown fuse and insert the spare 8A fuse into its place.
  5. Close Compartment: Securely close the fuse compartment cover.
  6. Test: Plug the adapter back into a wall outlet and test its functionality.

Only use 8A fuses for replacement. Using a fuse with a different rating can compromise safety and damage the adapter.

Troubleshooting

ProblemPossible CauseSolution
Adapter not providing power.Blown fuse.Replace the 8A fuse (refer to Maintenance section).
Adapter not providing power.Not properly plugged into wall outlet.Ensure the adapter's plug is fully extended and securely inserted into the wall outlet.
Appliance not working when plugged into AC socket.Appliance is not dual voltage compatible.Verify your appliance supports 100-240V. This adapter does not convert voltage.
Appliance not working when plugged into AC socket.Appliance wattage exceeds 2000W.Do not use appliances exceeding 2000W.
USB ports not charging devices.Device cable is faulty or not properly connected.Try a different USB cable or ensure the cable is securely connected to both the adapter and the device.
USB charging is slow.Multiple devices connected, distributing power.Charging speed may decrease when multiple devices are connected due to power distribution. For faster charging, use fewer devices or prioritize the higher wattage USB-C1 port.
