What is the input voltage range?

The input voltage range is 100-240V AC, suitable for worldwide use.

How do I clean the power supply?

Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using any liquid cleaners, solvents, or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

Device does not power on

Verify that the AC pin is securely attached and the power supply is plugged into a working outlet. Check that the DC connector is fully inserted into the device and that the device's power requirements do not exceed the supply's 15W/3A rating.

Intermittent power or device instability

Ensure the DC connector is firmly seated. Check if the device is drawing more than 3A, which could cause overload protection to engage. Try a different outlet or AC pin to rule out connection issues.

Overheating

Ensure the power supply is in a well-ventilated area and not covered or obstructed. If the unit feels excessively hot, disconnect it immediately and check for proper airflow. Prolonged use at maximum load can generate heat.

Incorrect DC connector size

This adapter uses a specific 2.1 x 5.5 x 12mm connector. If your device requires a different size, an adapter or a different power supply will be needed. Ensure the centre pin is positive.
