Troubleshooting

USB port not charging device

Ensure the device cable is fully plugged in at both ends. Try a different USB cable or a different USB port. Confirm the main socket is receiving power. For faster charging, ensure your device supports the respective USB-A (18W) or USB-C (20W) quick charge standard.

Main socket not working

Check if the individual switch for that socket is turned on. Verify that the circuit breaker or fuse for that circuit is not tripped. Ensure the plugged-in appliance is functioning correctly.

Unit feels warm during charging

Some warmth is normal during fast charging. However, if the unit becomes excessively hot, disconnect all devices and turn off the power at the breaker. Contact a qualified electrician to inspect the installation.
