2. Setup and Installation

This charger is designed for surface mounting, requiring minimal modification to your vehicle's interior. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. Prepare the Mounting Surface: Choose a flat, stable surface in your vehicle for installation.
2. Open the Cover: Carefully open the outer frame/cover of the charger unit.
3. Drill Wiring Holes: Drill a small hole (approximately 1.8 cm in diameter, refer to dimensions in Section 5) through the chosen mounting surface to pass the power cables. Ensure the hole is only large enough for the wires, not the entire unit.
4. Connect Wiring:
   • Connect the red wire to the positive (+) terminal of your vehicle's 12V/24V power source.
   • Connect the black wire to the negative (-) terminal or a suitable ground point.

   Important: Ensure correct polarity to prevent damage to the charger and your vehicle's electrical system. It is recommended to connect through a fuse (not included) for safety.
5. Secure the Unit: Place the main body of the charger onto the mounting surface, aligning the wiring through the drilled hole. Use the provided screws to firmly fix the unit to the surface.
6. Close the Cover: Reattach the outer frame/cover to the main unit. Ensure it snaps securely into place.

3.2 Using the Charging Ports

• USB-C (PD 65W) Port: Connect your USB-C compatible laptops, tablets, or smartphones to this port for fast charging. The 65W PD3.0 port can boost voltage to 15V and 20V for optimal charging of larger devices.
• USB-A (QC3.0 18W) Port: Connect your Quick Charge 3.0 compatible devices or standard USB devices to this port for efficient charging.
• You can charge two devices simultaneously using both ports.

3.3 Digital Display Functionality

• Battery Voltage Monitoring: In standby mode or when only the USB-A port is in use, the display shows the vehicle's battery voltage (V), allowing you to monitor its health.
• Real-time Charging Data: When a device is connected to the 65W USB-C port, the display automatically switches to show the real-time output voltage (V) and current (A) for the PD interface, providing immediate feedback on charging performance.

4. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surface of the charger. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Dustproof Cover: Keep the flip cover closed when the ports are not in use to protect them from dust and moisture.
• Environmental Conditions: While designed for automotive use, avoid exposing the charger to extreme water or harsh weather conditions.
• Cable Inspection: Periodically check charging cables for any signs of wear or damage. Replace damaged cables immediately.

5. Troubleshooting

• Charger Not Powering On:
  • Ensure the vehicle's ignition is on (if required by your vehicle's wiring).
  • Check the ON/OFF switch to ensure it is pressed to the 'ON' position.
  • Verify that the red and black wires are correctly connected to the positive and negative terminals, respectively.
  • Check the vehicle's fuse for the circuit the charger is connected to. Replace if blown.
• Device Not Charging / Slow Charging:
  • Ensure the charging cable is securely connected to both the charger and your device.
  • Try a different charging cable to rule out cable issues.
  • Confirm your device supports PD (for USB-C) or QC3.0 (for USB-A) for fast charging.
  • If charging multiple devices, note that total power output is shared.
  • Check the digital display for output voltage and current. If values are unexpectedly low, there might be an issue with the power source or the device being charged.
• Inaccurate Voltage Display:
  • Ensure the charger is properly connected to a stable 12V/24V power source.
  • Fluctuations in vehicle battery voltage are normal, especially during engine start-up or heavy electrical load.
