6. Mantenimiento y cuidado

• Mantenga el dispositivo limpio y seco. Evite la exposición a la humedad o a temperaturas extremas.
• Handle the Type-C connectors with care to prevent bending or damage. The reinforced design improves durability, but excessive force can still cause issues.
• Store the tester in a safe place when not in use to prevent physical damage.

7. Solución de problemas

• La pantalla no se enciende: Ensure the tester is correctly connected between a powered source and a device. If the source or device is faulty, the tester may not receive power.
• Volumen inexactotage/Lecturas actuales: Perform the voltage calibration procedure as described in Section 5. Ensure all connections are secure.
• Temperature Warning (Red Icon): If the temperature display turns red and flashes (above 45°C), immediately disconnect the tester and connected devices. Allow them to cool down before resuming use. This indicates potential overheating.
• Loose Type-C Port: While the Type-C interface is reinforced, repeated rough handling can still cause wear. Ensure gentle insertion and removal of cables. If the port becomes excessively loose and affects functionality, contact customer support.
