  • Devices Not Charging/Powering:
    • Verify the DELTA 3 has sufficient charge.
    • Ensure the specific output port (AC, USB, DC) is turned on.
    • Check if the device's power requirement exceeds the DELTA 3's output capacity or the specific port's limit.
    • Try a different port or cable.
  • Overload Warning:
    • If an overload warning appears, disconnect some devices to reduce the load.
    • The X-Boost feature helps with high-wattage devices, but continuous overload can trigger protection.
