Product Information
Full details
The Rockland RUD003 is an essential accessory for commuters and road-trippers who need to power multiple devices simultaneously. Designed for those who juggle smartphones, tablets, and vehicle-specific electronics, it offers a versatile blend of two USB ports and two DC outlets in a single compact housing. While it provides excellent utility for maintaining battery levels on the move, users should note that the total power output is shared across all ports, which may slow down charging speeds when all four outlets are occupied at once.

Troubleshooting
Device is not charging
Verify that the RUD003 is pushed firmly into the socket and check that your vehicle's ignition is in the 'On' or 'Accessory' position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward: ensure your vehicle's engine is running, then firmly insert the Rockland RUD003 into the cigarette lighter or auxiliary power socket. Once seated, the status indicator will typically verify a power connection. For maintenance, keep the ports free of debris or dust to ensure optimal electrical contact. If the device is not in use for extended periods, it is recommended to remove it from the socket to prevent battery drain. Avoid exposing the unit to moisture or extreme heat to preserve the integrity of the internal circuitry.
