4. Important Safety Information

CAUTION: THIS ADAPTER IS NOT A VOLTAGE CONVERTER.

This universal travel plug adapter only converts the plug type; it does not convert electrical voltage. It is essential to ensure that your electronic devices are dual-voltage compatible (typically indicated as 100V-250V, 50/60Hz) before plugging them into this adapter in a foreign country. Using single-voltage devices (e.g., hair dryers, curling irons, straighteners, or other heating devices designed only for 120V/60Hz) with this adapter in a higher voltage country can cause severe damage to your device and potentially create a fire hazard.

Always check the voltage requirements of your appliances before use.

6. Troubleshooting

If the Acer Universal Travel Plug Adapter is not functioning as expected, consider the following:

• No Power Output: Ensure the adapter is firmly plugged into a live wall outlet. Verify that the correct regional plug type is fully extended and locked into position.
• Device Not Charging: Check that your device's charging cable is securely connected to both the adapter's USB port or AC outlet and your device. Try a different USB port or cable to rule out a faulty connection.
• Overload Protection: The adapter may have built-in overload protection. If too many high-power devices are connected, it might temporarily stop functioning. Disconnect some devices and try again.
• Voltage Compatibility: Reconfirm that your device is dual-voltage compatible (100V-250V) if you are in a country with a different voltage than your device's native region. This adapter does not convert voltage.

If issues persist after checking these points, please refer to the support section.
