  • Do not cover the adapter with cloths or other materials while it is in use.
  • If the adapter feels excessively hot, disconnect it immediately and check for proper ventilation or potential issues with the connected device.

5. Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Disconnect the adapter from the power outlet and your device before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the adapter in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid tightly coiling the power cord to prevent damage.
  • Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord and adapter casing for any signs of damage, such as cuts, fraying, or cracks. If damage is found, discontinue use and replace the adapter.
