Yes, the USB-C port supports 20W fast charging, which is ideal for modern mobile devices and tablets.
The tower is rated for 13A. While it can handle most standard appliances, avoid overloading it with multiple high-wattage heating elements like kettles or heaters simultaneously.
Yes, this product comes with a 2-year warranty to ensure reliability and peace of mind.
The integrated surge protection is designed to absorb excess energy from a surge, protecting the devices connected to the tower.
The device is designed as a tabletop tower. It does not include built-in wall-mounting hardware.
The attached power cable is 2 meters long, providing reasonable reach from your wall socket.
Check that the master switch is set to the 'on' position and ensure the plug is firmly inserted into the wall socket. Verify that the wall socket itself is functioning.
Ensure that the USB cable being used is in good condition and supports high-speed charging. If multiple high-draw devices are plugged into the USB ports, the smart charging system will distribute power accordingly.
The overload protection may have tripped. Unplug all devices, wait a few minutes for the unit to cool down, and check if it functions again. If not, the internal fuse may need replacement.
Setup is straightforward: place the unit on a stable, dry surface, plug the 2-meter cable into a standard UK wall outlet, and toggle the master switch to the 'on' position. The unit is compatible with any standard UK 3-pin plug (BS 1363). To maintain the device, keep it away from moisture and direct heat sources. Ensure the unit is not covered by items that could block airflow, as this is essential for safe operation. If you ever need to replace the internal fuse, ensure you use a 13-amp fuse conforming to BS1362 standards.
