1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the FOVAL 2000W Travel Voltage Converter. This device is designed to convert foreign electricity (220-240V, 50/60Hz) to US voltage (110V, 60Hz), allowing you to safely use your US electronic devices while traveling internationally. It features multiple AC outlets and USB charging ports, along with a set of international adapters for broad compatibility.
2. Important Safety Information
Please read and understand all safety instructions before using this product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock, fire, or serious injury.
- Voltage Compatibility: The converter steps down voltage from 220-240V to 110V. Do not use it with devices that require 220-240V directly or devices that are not compatible with 110V.
- Appliance Type: The 2000W AC socket is only for mechanical motor devices such as mechanically switched hair dryers and electric kettles. It is not suitable for electronic-controlled appliances with smart chips, automatic shutdown, touch screens, temperature control, timing, or pulse functions (e.g., Dyson hair dryers).
- Power Limits: The 200W AC sockets cannot be used for devices exceeding 200W. Always check the safety data sheet or data plate on your device before plugging it in.
- Overload Protection: The converter is equipped with multiple protections including surge protection, over-heating, short-circuiting, over-current, over-temperature, and overload. It will automatically shut down to prevent damage.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation around the converter during use. Do not cover the ventilation openings.
- Moisture: Do not expose the converter to rain, moisture, or immerse it in water.
- Children: Keep out of reach of children.

5. Operating Instructions
Once the converter is powered on, you can connect your devices.
5.1 Using AC Outlets
- 2000W AC Outlet (Hair Dryer/Iron Only): This dedicated outlet is for high-power mechanical devices up to 2000W, such as traditional hair dryers and electric kettles. Ensure your device has a simple mechanical switch and no electronic controls.
- 200W AC Outlets: The two other AC outlets are for low-power devices with a total combined output of up to 200W. These are suitable for curling irons, hair straighteners, laptops, iPads, electric toothbrushes, shavers, and other small electronics.
Important Note: Do not plug electronic-controlled devices (e.g., Dyson hair dryers, coffee makers with digital displays, smart appliances) into any AC outlet of this converter, as it may cause damage to the device or the converter.
5.2 Using USB Charging Ports
The converter includes three USB-A ports and one USB-C port for charging your mobile devices.
- USB-A Ports: Each USB-A port can charge devices up to 2.4A.
- USB-C Port: The USB-C port supports Power Delivery (PD) up to 18W, charging devices up to 3A.
- Total USB Output: The total maximum output for all USB ports combined is 18W.
Connect your USB-powered devices directly to the appropriate USB port using their charging cables.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your converter, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Converter Not Powering On:
- Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the converter and the wall outlet.
- Verify the wall outlet is active and providing power.
- Check if the power button on the converter is pressed.
- Device Not Charging/Working:
- Confirm your device is compatible with 110V.
- Check if the device's power consumption exceeds the outlet's limit (2000W for the dedicated outlet, 200W total for the other two AC outlets).
- Ensure the device is a mechanical motor type if using the 2000W outlet. Electronic-controlled devices are not compatible.
- For USB charging, ensure your cable is functional and the device is properly connected.
- Converter Shuts Down Automatically:
- This indicates a safety protection mechanism has been activated (e.g., over-heating, overload, short-circuit).
- Unplug all devices and the converter from the wall. Allow it to cool down if it feels hot.
- Reduce the number of connected devices or ensure total wattage does not exceed limits.
- Inspect devices and cables for any damage that might cause a short circuit.
- International Adapter Not Fitting Securely:
- Ensure you have selected the correct adapter type for the country's wall outlet.
- Some outlets may be worn or have a loose fit. Try a different outlet if available.
- Ensure the adapter is fully inserted and stable.
