4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your SBS Car Charger, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Keep the device clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, or excessive moisture.

• Avoid dropping or subjecting the device to strong impacts.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 No Power/Device Not Turning On

• Ensure the car charger is fully inserted into the 12V cigarette lighter socket.
• Check if the car's cigarette lighter socket is receiving power (e.g., by testing with another device).
• Verify your car's fuse box for any blown fuses related to the 12V socket.

5.2 Poor FM Signal/Static Noise

• Try changing the FM frequency on both the car charger and your car radio to find a clearer, unused frequency.
• Ensure there are no strong radio stations broadcasting on or near your selected frequency.
• Adjust the position of the car charger slightly within the socket, if possible, to improve signal.

5.3 Bluetooth Connection Issues

• Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone and the device is within range.
• Forget the device from your phone's Bluetooth settings and try pairing again.
• Restart both your smartphone and the car charger (by unplugging and re-plugging it).

5.4 Charging Not Working or Slow

• Ensure your charging cable is not damaged and is properly connected to both the charger and your device.
• Verify that your device supports the fast charging capabilities of the green USB-A port.
• If charging two devices, the power output per port will be shared, which may result in slower charging for each device compared to charging a single device.
