Safety Precautions
Please read these instructions carefully and retain this welcome guide for future use. When using electrical appliances, the following safety precautions should always be observed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, or injury to persons:
⚠️ WARNING – Intended Use
This product is intended to be used in household indoor areas only, and not intended for commercial use. Do not use it in General Patient Care Areas or Critical Patient Care Areas. Keep away from children.
⚠️ WARNING – Grounding and Polarization
Plug into a standard 3-wire grounded outlet only, and do not use it with a receptacle in which the slot opening does not align with the blades.
⚠️ WARNING – Daisy Chaining
This product must be plugged directly to a wall outlet, and should not be "daisy-chained" together in series with other power strips or surge protectors.
⚠️ WARNING – Liquid
This product should not be used with aquariums, near water or any other source of moisture. Do not operate this product if liquid of any kind is spilled onto or inside it.
⚠️ WARNING – Heat
Do not place it near heat sources such as wall heaters. Never cover it with carpet, furniture or anything that would prevent air circulation or cause temperature increase. Shut off the unit immediately if it ever becomes hot to touch.
⚠️ WARNING – Overloading
Do not overload the product's outlets. If the load exceeds 10A / 1250W (whether plugged into a single outlet or spread out over multiple outlets), the built-in circuit breaker will trip. In this case, reduce the load by unplugging some devices and reset the power switch.
⚠️ WARNING – No User Serviceable Parts Inside
Do not open the housing for any reason, as there are no user-serviceable parts inside. Product warranty will be voided and no liability will be accepted if the product is dismantled.
⚠️ WARNING – Proper Cleaning
In general, the only cleaning necessary for this product is a light dusting. Unplug it from the wall outlet before cleaning it. Do not use any type of liquid or aerosol cleaners.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which USB port should I use to charge my device?
A: Both 3 USB-A ports and 1 USB-C port support smart charging technology and can charge any 5V device at full speed (USB-A: 2.4A, USB-C: 3.0A output). For devices with different voltage requirements, please plug your power block into the AC outlets instead.
Q: Can my phone be charged up quickly?
A: This product does not support Quick Charge (QC2.0/3.0/4+) or Power Delivery technology. Therefore, you may experience slow charging speed for your latest devices.
Q: Why can't the USB ports charge my devices properly?
A: Please verify if this power strip is securely plugged into your wall outlet or if your USB charging cable works properly. If yes, this product could become defective. In this case, please email TROND support at support@etrond.com for assistance.
Q: What shall I do when the surge protection indicator doesn't light up?
A: It means that the surge protection has been exhausted and can no longer protect your electric devices from power disturbances. It's time to replace this unit for future protection.
Q: How do I check my device's input current and voltage?
A: Please refer to your device's user manual, original OEM charging adapter, or contact the device manufacturer to get this information.
