7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your One Beat Tower Surge Protector, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to outlets/USB ports. | Overload protection tripped; unit not plugged in; power switch off. | Press the AC Socket Switch to reset. Ensure the unit is securely plugged into a live wall outlet. Reduce the total load of connected devices. |
| Surge indicator light is off. | Surge protection has been compromised or unit is not powered. | Ensure the unit is powered on. If the light remains off, the surge protection components may have absorbed a significant surge and the unit should be replaced. |
| Devices charging slowly via USB. | Cable issue; device not compatible with fast charging; multiple devices drawing power. | Use a high-quality charging cable. Ensure your device supports the USB charging speeds provided. Disconnect other devices to see if charging speed improves. |
| Unit feels warm. | Normal operation under load; poor ventilation; excessive load. | Ensure adequate airflow around the unit. Reduce the number of connected devices if the warmth is excessive. If overheating persists, discontinue use. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact One Beat customer support.
