Important Note: Not a Voltage Converter
This travel adapter is NOT a voltage converter. It only adapts the plug shape to fit different outlets. Ensure that your electronic devices (e.g., hair dryers, straighteners, curling irons) are dual voltage (100V-250V) before plugging them into this adapter. Using devices that do not support the local voltage can cause damage to the device or the adapter.

Troubleshooting
Device Not Charging
- Check Power Source: Ensure the wall outlet is active and providing power.

- Inspect Fuse: The adapter has a double 10A fuse. If the adapter is not working, the fuse may have blown. Refer to the 'Maintenance' section for fuse replacement.
- Device Compatibility: Ensure your device supports the local voltage (100V-250V). This adapter does not convert voltage.
- Cable Integrity: Test with a different charging cable to rule out a faulty cable.
Adapter Not Functioning
- Reset Plugs: Fully retract all plugs and then extend only the required plug type.
- Check Fuse: A blown fuse will prevent the adapter from working. Replace if necessary.
- Overload Protection: If too many high-power devices are connected, the adapter's safety features may temporarily shut it down. Disconnect some devices and try again.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the adapter with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Storage: Store the adapter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture when not in use. Ensure all plugs are fully retracted before storage.
- Fuse Replacement: If the fuse blows, carefully open the fuse compartment (usually indicated by a small screw or latch) and replace the 10A fuse with a new one of the same rating. Always ensure the adapter is unplugged before attempting fuse replacement.
- Avoid Liquids: Do not expose the adapter to water or other liquids.
- Handle with Care: Avoid dropping or subjecting the adapter to strong impacts.
