FAQs

Can this adapter be used in all countries?

The adapter is designed for use in over 180 countries, covering most major plug and socket types worldwide. However, always confirm the specific socket type for your destination if unsure.

Does this adapter convert voltage?

No, this is a travel *adapter*, not a voltage *converter*. It allows your plugs to fit into foreign sockets but does not change the electrical voltage. Ensure your devices are compatible with the local voltage (100-250V).

How many devices can I charge at once?

You can charge up to three devices simultaneously: one via the AC power socket and two via the USB-C and USB-A ports.

What is the maximum power output?

The AC socket supports a maximum power of 2500W at 250V (and 1000W at 100V). The USB-C port provides up to 20W Power Delivery, and the USB-A port offers up to 18W Quick Charge 3.0.

Is there a fuse in the adapter?

Yes, the adapter features a BS1362 compliant fuse for safety, and a spare fuse is included in the packaging.

How do I switch between plug types?

Push the sliders on the side to reveal the EU, UK, and US plugs. For Australian or Chinese sockets, you can rotate the pins to the appropriate configuration.

Are the USB ports compatible with all USB devices?

Yes, the USB-C and USB-A ports are designed to charge standard USB devices like smartphones, tablets, power banks, and e-readers. For fastest charging, ensure your device supports PD or QC 3.0.

What does the safety shutter function do?

The safety shutters are designed to prevent children from inserting foreign objects into the socket holes. They require a significant amount of force (over 75N) to open, ensuring child safety.

Troubleshooting

Device not charging via USB port

Ensure the USB cable is properly connected to both the device and the adapter. Try a different USB cable or a different USB port (USB-C or USB-A). Confirm your device supports charging via USB-C PD or QC 3.0 for optimal speeds.

Adapter not fitting into the wall socket

Verify that you have selected and extended the correct plug type for the region. Ensure no pins are bent or obstructed. Some older or non-standard sockets may present compatibility issues.

No power to any connected device

Check that the adapter is fully inserted into the wall socket. Inspect the fuse; if blown, replace it with the spare fuse provided, ensuring it's inserted correctly. Confirm the local power outlet is functioning.

Overheating during use

Ensure you are not exceeding the maximum power limit (2500W). If charging multiple high-power devices, it's normal for some warmth, but excessive heat may indicate an issue. Discontinue use if overheating is severe and contact support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Extremely versatile for international travel across many countries.
  • Charges multiple devices simultaneously, reducing the need for extra power bricks.
  • Fast charging capabilities for USB-C and USB-A devices.
  • Compact and lightweight design for easy portability.
  • Safety features like shutters and a spare fuse provide peace of mind.

Cons

  • Does not convert voltage; primarily an adapter, not a converter.
  • Maximum power rating of 2500W might be limiting for very high-power appliances.
  • Requires multiple slider movements and pin rotations for different regions, which can be a bit fiddly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use the adapter, slide out the appropriate plug for your destination country (EU, UK, or US are readily accessible). For regions like Australia or China, rotate the pins to the correct configuration. Once the plug is extended, you can insert it into the local wall socket. Connect your devices to the AC outlet or the USB-C and USB-A ports.

Compatibility: This adapter is compatible with devices that operate within a voltage range of 100-250V AC and draw up to 2500W (at 250V) or 1000W (at 100V). It accepts universal plug types for input and has universal socket types for output. The USB ports are compatible with virtually all USB-powered devices.

Care: Keep the adapter clean and dry. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth as needed. Avoid exposing it to moisture or extreme temperatures. Ensure plugs are fully retracted when not in use to protect them and prevent accidental shorts. Always check the fuse compartment for the included spare fuse if needed.
