Quick Setup Guide for Adapter/Converter
FEATURES
Before using your new product, please read these instructions to prevent any damage.
BE CAREFUL! Check out these important safety instructions to keep yourself and your devices safe.
• Before using the converter/adapter, check the product you intend to connect to the converter/adapter for the manufacturer’s voltage and wattage rating, which should be located on the product.
Caution: Adapter mode does not convert voltage. To avoid damaging your device, select the Converter mode when appropriate.
• The Converter cannot be used with low-wattage appliances (0–25W).
• The converter is designed to be used only for short periods of time (approximately 10 minutes).
• Do not leave the converter/adapter in the power outlet when not in use. Do not continue to use the converter/adapter if it is not working properly, has been damaged, or dropped in water.
• Check your appliance label to see if it requires less than 2.5A.
• No grounding. This product is for use with unearthed or double-insulated appliances only.
• The adapter-only function should be used with dual-voltage appliances. The adapter/converter combo function should be used with single-voltage appliances.
Warning: This product is intended for adult use. This product is NOT intended for use by unsupervised children. Choose proper settings and plug in this product before directly supervising children using devices connected to this product.
MAKING SURE YOUR DEVICE IS COMPATIBLE
Warning: Failure to select the correct voltage setting could damage your device.
1. Determine the voltage of the power outlet you want to use. See the table on the back for common voltages.
2. Check the voltage of the device you want to connect to the power outlet.
3. Compare the power outlet voltage to your device’s voltage, then use the table below to decide which mode to use (adapter or converter).
Note: The voltage of some devices will be a range. If your power outlet voltage is in the range of your device’s voltage (for example, a 120-240V device and a 240V power outlet), use ADAPTER mode.
The power outlet voltage is: | Slide the mode switch to: |
• The same as your device’s voltage • In the range of your device’s voltage • 100V and your device is 120V • In a country with 110-120V AC |
ADAPTER |
• Greater than your device’s voltage • In a country with 220-240V AC |
CONVERTER |
• Less than your device’s voltage | Your device is not compatible. Do NOT use this converter/adapter with your device |
Notes:
• Use Adapter mode for dual-voltage devices (those listed as 110 V/220 V AC, 120 V/240 V AC).
• Use Adapter mode for devices such as laptop computers and battery chargers because they automatically adjust to 110V or 220V power.
4. Check the wattage of your device.
If you use ADAPTER mode:
Device wattage is: | Instructions: |
275W max. at 100-120V 575W max. at 220-240V |
You can use this adapter. See “Selecting your plug” for further instructions. |
576W or more | Your device is not compatible. Do NOT use this adapter with your device. |
If you use CONVERTER mode:
Device wattage is: | Instructions: |
0~25W | Your device is not compatible. Do NOT use this converter with your device. |
26~1875W | You can use this converter. See “Selecting your plug” for further instructions. |
SELECTING YOUR PLUG
Find the power outlet you want to connect your device to in the following table, then follow the corresponding instructions to open the plug. Make sure that you only open one plug at a time.
North America/South America/Japan:
1. Slide the plug selector to USA/AUST./CHINA
2. Slide both side buttons forward to push out the prongs.
Europe:
1. Slide the plug selector to EUROPE.
2. Use your finger to pull out and bring down the plug.
Australia/New Zealand:
1. Slide the plug selector to USA/AUST./CHINA
2. Slide both side buttons forward to push out the prongs, then gently turn each prong inward until they stop.
UK/Hong Kong:
1. Slide the plug selector to U.K.
2. Push in and slide both side buttons forward to push out the top prongs, then use your finger to pull down the middle prong.

USING YOUR ADAPTER
1. Make sure your device is compatible and that you have selected the correct settings before use. Incorrect use could damage your device.
2. Connect your device to the converter/adapter outlet, then plug the converter/adapter into a power outlet.
Note: When in converter mode, only use this product for short periods of time (approximately 10 minutes).
TROUBLESHOOTING
My converter/adapter or device is humming
• It is normal to hear a humming sound from your converter/adapter or device.
My device stopped working
• If your device has a built-in thermostat, it may have shut off prematurely.
• Make sure that you have selected the correct settings.
• Wait for your device to cool down, then resume normal operation.
My device is working slowly
• Some devices may operate slower in foreign countries that use 50 Hz of current (the U.S. operates on 60 Hz).
I don’t know my device’s voltage or wattage
• Check on your device, its power adapter, or in its manual.
• To calculate wattage, multiple voltage by amps (for example, 100V × 2.5 amps = 250 watts).
• Contact the device’s manufacturer.
