Setup
- Unpack the Charger: Carefully remove the FOCHEW 120W USB C Charger Block and this instruction manual from the packaging.
- Unfold the Plug: Gently unfold the AC prongs from the charger body until they lock into place.

- Extend Cables (Optional): To use the built-in retractable cables, gently pull both ends of the desired cable simultaneously until it reaches the desired length (up to 27.56 inches / 70 cm). Do not pull only one side, as this may damage the retraction mechanism.
- Connect Devices: Plug your devices into the appropriate ports or cables:
- For laptops requiring up to 65W, use the top USB-C1 port.
- For other USB-C devices, use the built-in USB-C cable or the additional USB-C port.

Operating Instructions
The FOCHEW 120W USB C Charger Block is designed for intuitive operation. Simply connect your devices, and the charger will automatically detect and deliver the optimal charging current.
Multi-Device Charging:
This charger can power up to four devices simultaneously. The total output is dynamically distributed up to 120W across all active ports and cables. For optimal performance, consider the power requirements of your devices:
- The 65W USB-C1 port is best for high-power devices like laptops.
- The remaining ports and cables will share the available wattage, providing efficient charging for smartphones, tablets, earbuds, and other accessories.

Retracting Cables:
To retract the built-in cables, gently pull both ends of the cable again. The cable will smoothly retract back into the charger body. Ensure both ends are pulled evenly to prevent tangling or damage to the retraction mechanism.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Disconnect the charger from the power outlet and all devices before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
- Storage: When not in use, ensure the foldable plug is tucked away and the retractable cables are fully retracted. Store the charger in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Handling: Avoid dropping the charger or subjecting it to strong impacts. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the charger, as this will void the warranty and may cause damage or injury.
- Cable Care: Always pull both ends of the retractable cables evenly when extending or retracting to prevent internal damage. Avoid excessive force.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Charger not powering on/charging devices. | No power from outlet; loose connection; faulty device cable. | Ensure the charger is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check all cable connections. Try a different device cable to rule out cable issues. |
| Slow charging speed. | Device not compatible with fast charging; multiple devices connected; cable quality. | Ensure your device supports fast charging protocols (PD/PPS). If charging multiple devices, the total wattage is shared. Try charging fewer devices or use the 65W USB-C1 port for high-power devices. Use original or certified cables. |
| Retractable cables not retracting smoothly. | Uneven pulling; internal mechanism obstruction. | Always pull both ends of the cable simultaneously and evenly. Do not force retraction. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Charger feels warm during use. | Normal operation, especially under heavy load; poor ventilation. | A slight warmth is normal due to GaN technology's efficiency. Ensure adequate ventilation around the charger. If it becomes excessively hot, disconnect immediately and contact support. |
