FAQs

Does this adaptor convert voltage?

No, this adaptor only changes the plug shape. You need a separate voltage converter if your device requires a different voltage than the local power supply.

Where can I use this adaptor?

This adaptor is designed for use in the USA, Canada, and South America. Always check the specific socket type used in each South American country, as they may vary.

What kind of plugs does this adaptor support?

This adaptor supports 3-pole earthed UK plugs.

Is this adaptor safe?

Yes, it is designed to meet safety standards for travel adaptors. Always ensure your devices' power ratings are compatible with the local voltage to avoid damage.

How do I clean the adaptor?

Use a dry cloth to clean the adaptor. Do not use liquids or harsh chemicals.

What if the adaptor sparks when I plug it in?

If the adaptor sparks, immediately unplug it. This could indicate a problem with either the adaptor or the socket. Check the device's plug for damage. Avoid using the adaptor and socket until a professional has inspected them.

What is the warranty on this product?

Please refer to the product packaging or retailer for warranty information.

Troubleshooting

Device won't charge.

Check that the adaptor is securely plugged into both the wall socket and your device's plug. Ensure the wall socket has power. Verify the device's voltage compatibility with the local voltage (typically 120V in North America).

Adaptor doesn't fit the socket.

Ensure the socket is a standard American socket. Check for any obstructions in the socket. If the issue persists, the socket may not be compatible.
