4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Using AC Outlets
Plug your electronic devices directly into any of the 8 available AC outlets. The wide spacing of the outlets accommodates larger power adapters without blocking adjacent ports.
4.2 Using USB Charging Ports
Connect your USB-powered devices (smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, etc.) to the 2 USB-A or 2 USB-C ports using appropriate charging cables. The power strip will automatically detect and deliver the optimal charging current up to the specified maximums.
4.3 Power Switch and Indicators
- On/Off Switch: Use the main power switch to turn the entire power strip on or off. This controls power to all AC outlets and USB ports.
- White LED Indicator: Illuminates when the power strip is receiving power and the main switch is on.
- Green LED Indicator: Illuminates when the surge protection feature is active and functioning correctly. If this light is off, the surge protection may have been compromised, and the unit should be replaced.

6. Maintenance
- Keep the power strip away from water and high humidity environments.

7. Troubleshooting
7.1 No Power to Devices
- Check Power Switch: Ensure the main on/off switch on the power strip is in the "On" position.
- Verify Wall Outlet: Confirm the wall outlet is functioning by plugging in another device.
- Overload Protection: If the power strip is overloaded, the internal circuit breaker may trip. Unplug some devices, then reset the power strip by turning the main switch off and on again.
- Cable Connection: Ensure all device cables are securely plugged into the power strip.
7.2 Green "Protected" LED is Off
- If the green "Protected" LED is off, it indicates that the surge protection components may have absorbed a significant power surge and are no longer providing protection. While the power strip may still function as an extension cord, it is recommended to replace the unit to ensure continued surge protection for your devices.
7.3 USB Devices Not Charging
- Check Cable: Ensure the USB cable is not damaged and is properly connected to both the power strip and the device.
- Device Compatibility: Confirm your device is compatible with standard USB charging (QC fast charging is not supported by this unit).
- Total USB Output: If multiple high-power USB devices are connected, the total output of 17W (5V/3.4A) may be exceeded, leading to slower charging or no charging for some devices. Try charging fewer devices simultaneously.
