- Position the power strip on the edge of your desk where you intend to install it.
- Align the clamp with the underside of the desk edge.
- Tighten the screw on the clamp until the power strip is securely fastened and does not wobble. Do not overtighten.

2. Using USB Charging Ports
The power strip includes 2 USB-A ports and 1 USB-C port for charging mobile devices. The USB-C port supports 30W Power Delivery (PD) for fast charging compatible devices.
- USB-C Port (C1): Provides up to 30W PD when used alone, capable of fast-charging smartphones, tablets, and some laptops.
- USB-A Ports (A1, A2) & USB-C Port (C2): These ports provide standard charging speeds.
- Multi-Port Use: When multiple USB ports are in use, the total output is shared. The C1 port will deliver up to 18W, and the remaining ports (C2, A1, A2) will share 12W.

3. Power Switch and Surge Protection
The integrated power switch controls all connected outlets and USB ports. It also functions as a circuit breaker for surge protection. In case of an overload or power surge, the switch will automatically trip to protect your devices. To reset, unplug some devices and press the switch back to the 'ON' position.
