6. Troubleshooting

• Device not charging:
  • Ensure the power strip is securely plugged into a live wall outlet.
  • Verify that the charging cable is properly connected to both the power strip and your device.
  • Test with a different cable or device to rule out cable or device issues.
  • Check if the device requires more power than the port can supply, especially for high-wattage devices on shared USB ports.
• Slow charging:
  • Ensure you are using a fast-charging compatible cable for your device.
  • If multiple devices are connected, the total power output is shared, which may reduce individual port speeds.
  • Confirm your device supports the fast charging protocols provided by the USB-C ports.
• Power strip feels warm:
  • It is normal for the power strip to generate some heat during operation, especially during fast charging or when multiple devices are connected.
  • The GaN technology and heat dissipation features are designed to manage this. If it becomes excessively hot or emits smoke/odor, unplug immediately and discontinue use.
