5. Maintenance
- Keep the charger away from water, fire, and high temperatures.
- Avoid dropping or subjecting the charger to strong impacts.
- Clean the charger with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners.
- When not in use, unplug the charger from the wall outlet and fold the prongs for storage.
6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Device Not Charging
- Ensure the charger is securely plugged into a working wall outlet.
- Verify that the charging cable is properly connected to both the charger and your device.
- Try using a different charging cable to rule out cable issues.
- Test with a different device to confirm the charger is functioning.
6.2 Slow Charging
- Ensure your device and cable support fast charging protocols (PD, PPS, QC) for optimal speeds.
- When multiple devices are connected, the total power output is shared. Disconnect less critical devices to prioritize charging for a specific device.
- Check if your device's battery is near full; charging speed naturally slows down as the battery approaches 100% to protect the battery.
6.3 Charger Feels Warm
It is normal for the charger to become warm during high-power output. The CUKTECH-ADC2.0 system continuously monitors temperature to ensure it operates within safe limits. If the charger becomes excessively hot or emits smoke, immediately unplug it and contact customer support.
