Troubleshooting

Device not working or intermittent connection.

Check that the wire is fully inserted and the lever is securely closed. Re-insert the wire if necessary. Also, ensure the wire is stripped to the correct length.

Connector feels loose or wires easily pull out.

Ensure the lever is fully closed. If the issue persists, the wire may not be fully inserted or the wire gauge is outside the connector's range. Re-strip the wire and try again.

Difficulty closing the lever.

Ensure the wire is properly inserted and not obstructing the lever. If the wire is too thick, use a connector rated for a larger wire gauge.
