Operating Instructions

Using AC Outlets:

• Plug your electronic devices directly into any of the 8 available AC outlets. The wide spacing ensures that larger power adapters do not obstruct other outlets.
• Ensure the total power consumption of all connected devices does not exceed 1875W.

Using USB Charging Ports:

• Connect your USB-powered devices (smartphones, tablets, headphones, etc.) to the 2 USB-A ports or the 1 USB-C port.
• The USB ports are designed to detect your device and deliver optimal charging speed (USB-A: 2.4A Max, USB-C: 3A Max).

Maintenance

• Keep the power strip clean and free from dust. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
• Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Regularly inspect the cord and plug for any signs of damage. If damaged, discontinue use immediately.

Troubleshooting

• No Power:
  • Ensure the power strip is securely plugged into a functioning wall outlet.
  • Check if the On/Off switch is in the "On" position.
  • If the overload protection switch has tripped, reduce the load by unplugging some devices and then reset the switch.
• Devices Not Charging via USB:
  • Verify that the USB cables are properly connected to both the power strip and your devices.
  • Ensure your devices are compatible with the USB charging specifications (5V/2.4A for USB-A, 5V/3A for USB-C).
  • Try a different USB port or cable to rule out a faulty connection.
• "Protected" Indicator Light Off:
  • If the "Protected" light is off, it may indicate that the surge protection components have been compromised due to a severe power surge. The power strip may still function as a multi-outlet extension cord, but without surge protection. It is recommended to replace the unit for continued surge protection.
