Safety Information

To ensure safe operation and prevent damage to the adapter or connected devices, please observe the following safety precautions:

• Indoor Use Only: This adapter is designed for indoor use in dry locations. Do not expose it to rain, moisture, or extreme temperatures.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the maximum power rating of the adapter (refer to specifications). Overloading can cause overheating and damage.
• Not a Voltage Converter: This product is a travel adapter, not a voltage converter. It does not convert voltage. Ensure your devices are compatible with the local voltage (100-250V).
• High-Power Appliances: Do not use this adapter with high-power appliances such as hair dryers, curling irons, electric kettles, or coffee makers. These devices typically exceed the adapter's wattage limits.
• Children and Pets: Keep out of reach of children and pets. The shutter safety function helps prevent accidental insertion of foreign objects.
• Damage: Do not use the adapter if it is damaged, wet, or has exposed wiring. Contact support immediately.
• Disassembly: Do not attempt to disassemble, repair, or modify the adapter. This will void the warranty and may pose a safety risk.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the adapter during use. Do not cover it with cloths or other materials.

Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life of your Verbatim UTA-09 adapter.

• Cleaning: Disconnect the adapter from the power outlet and all devices before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
• Storage: When not in use, retract all plugs and store the adapter in a cool, dry place, preferably in its travel pouch.
• Fuse Replacement: The adapter may contain a replaceable fuse. If the adapter stops working, check the fuse. Refer to the markings on the adapter for fuse specifications and replacement instructions. Always replace with a fuse of the same type and rating.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Verbatim UTA-09 adapter, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Adapter Not Charging Devices:
  • Ensure the adapter is firmly plugged into a live wall outlet.
  • Verify that the correct regional plug is fully extended and locked.
  • Check if your device's charging cable is securely connected to both the adapter and your device.
  • Try a different wall outlet or a different charging cable.
  • Confirm your device is compatible with the adapter's output specifications.
• Slow Charging:
  • Ensure you are using a high-quality cable that supports fast charging (e.g., PD or QC).
  • If charging multiple devices, the total output power is shared. Disconnect some devices to see if charging speed improves for others.
  • Verify your device supports the fast charging protocols (PD, QC) offered by the adapter.
• No Power from AC Socket:
  • Check if the appliance plugged into the AC socket exceeds the adapter's maximum wattage.
  • The internal fuse might have blown. Refer to the Maintenance section for fuse replacement.
• Adapter Overheating:
  • Disconnect all devices and unplug the adapter from the wall. Allow it to cool down.
  • Ensure the adapter is not covered and has adequate ventilation.
  • Reduce the number of devices being charged simultaneously or the power draw of connected devices.

If the issue persists after trying these steps, please contact Verbatim customer support.
