5. Setup
5.1 Connecting Effect Pedals
- Ensure the LEKATO PS-01R power supply is turned OFF.
- Identify the power requirements (voltage and current draw in mA) for each of your guitar effect pedals. Refer to your pedal's manual for this information.
- Connect one end of the provided DC cables to the appropriate DC 9V output ports on the LEKATO PS-01R. Use the 300mA outputs for pedals requiring higher current, and the 100mA outputs for standard pedals.
- Connect the other end of each DC cable to the power input jack of your respective effect pedals.
- Once all pedals are connected, turn ON the power switch on the LEKATO PS-01R. The blue LED indicators for each active output port will illuminate.
5.2 Initial Charging
Before first use, it is recommended to fully charge the LEKATO PS-01R. Refer to the "Charging" section for detailed instructions.

6. Operating Instructions
6.1 Powering On/Off
- To turn ON the power supply, flip the Power Switch to the 'ON' position. The red power indicator and green battery indicators will light up.
- To turn OFF the power supply, flip the Power Switch to the 'OFF' position. All indicators will turn off.
6.2 Using DC Outputs
Once the unit is powered on, the connected pedals will receive power. The blue LED above each active output port will indicate that power is being supplied. If a short circuit occurs in a specific port, its corresponding blue LED will turn off, while other ports continue to function normally.
6.3 Using the USB Output
The USB output port (DC 5V/1A) can be used to charge small electronic devices like smartphones. Simply connect your device's USB charging cable to the USB output port on the LEKATO PS-01R.

7. Charging
7.1 Charging the Power Supply
- Connect the provided Type-C cable to the "Charging Port" on the LEKATO PS-01R.
- Connect the other end of the Type-C cable to a 5V/2A USB power adapter (not included).
- The green battery indicator LEDs will flash to show the charging progress. Each lit LED represents approximately 25% charge.
- Once fully charged, all four green battery indicator LEDs will stop flashing and remain solid. The unit will automatically stop charging to prevent overcharging.
7.2 Battery Level Indicators
The four green LEDs indicate the battery level:
- 1 LED: 0-25% charge
- 2 LEDs: 26-50% charge
- 3 LEDs: 51-75% charge
- 4 LEDs: 76-100% charge

10. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to pedals. | Unit is off; battery is depleted; cable is loose/faulty; pedal requires more current than supplied. | Turn on the power supply. Charge the unit. Check all cable connections. Ensure pedal current draw matches output (e.g., 300mA output for 300mA pedal). |
| Specific pedal not receiving power (its blue LED is off). | Short circuit in that specific output port or pedal. | Disconnect the pedal from the faulty port. Test the pedal with another power source to confirm if the pedal is faulty. If the port remains off, contact support. |
| Unit not charging. | Charging cable/adapter faulty; charging port damaged. | Try a different Type-C cable and a 5V/2A USB power adapter. Ensure connections are secure. |
| Excessive noise in audio signal. | Ground loop; interference; faulty pedal/cable. | The isolated outputs are designed to minimize noise. Ensure all audio cables are in good condition. Test pedals individually to identify a noisy component. |
