Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your LENCENT 2-Prong to 3-Prong Outlet Adapter. This device is designed to convert outdated 2-prong wall outlets into modern 3-prong grounding outlets, expanding your power options with multiple AC outlets and USB charging ports, all while providing surge protection for your electronic devices.
Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your LENCENT outlet adapter:
- Identify a suitable 2-prong wall outlet: Ensure the outlet is in good condition and accessible.
- Remove the existing outlet cover screw: Use a screwdriver to carefully remove the screw located between the two receptacles of your wall outlet.
- Plug in the LENCENT adapter: Align the two polarized prongs of the adapter with the wall outlet receptacles and firmly push it in.
- Secure with the grounding screw: Insert the provided long screw through the central hole of the LENCENT adapter and into the wall outlet's screw hole. Tighten the screw to secure the adapter firmly to the wall. This step is crucial for stability and, if the existing socket is grounded, for providing grounding to the adapter. If the existing socket is not grounded, this extender will not provide grounding.

Operating Instructions
The LENCENT outlet adapter provides multiple power and charging options:
- AC Outlets: The adapter features 8 widely-spaced AC outlets (15A/125V, 1875W Max) to accommodate various electronic devices without blocking adjacent ports.
- USB-A Ports: Two USB-A ports are available for charging compatible devices.
- USB-C Ports: Two USB-C ports are available for charging compatible devices.
- Simultaneous Charging: You can charge up to 12 devices simultaneously using a combination of AC outlets, USB-A, and USB-C ports. The total USB output is 5V/3.4A.
- Surge Protection: The adapter includes a 1728J surge protection system. A "SURGE PROTECTED" indicator light will illuminate to confirm that your devices are protected from voltage spikes and power surges.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and safe operation of your LENCENT outlet adapter:
- Keep the adapter clean and free from dust. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
- Avoid exposing the adapter to moisture or liquids.
- Do not attempt to open or modify the adapter. This can void the warranty and pose safety risks.
- Ensure that the total power consumption of connected devices does not exceed the maximum rating of 1875W.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your LENCENT outlet adapter, consider the following:
- No power to devices: Check if the adapter is securely plugged into the wall outlet. Verify that the wall outlet itself is functioning by testing it with another device.
- Surge Protected indicator not lit: If the indicator light is off, it may mean the surge protection has been compromised after a significant power surge, or the unit is not receiving power. Replace the unit if surge protection is desired and the light remains off.
- Devices not charging via USB: Ensure USB cables are properly connected to both the adapter and the device. Confirm that the device is compatible with USB charging and that the total USB current draw does not exceed 3.4A.
- Loose connection: If the adapter feels wobbly, ensure the grounding screw is tightened securely.
