WARNING

How to Use
-
Select the Correct Plug Type:
Identify the plug type that matches the power outlet in the country you’re visiting. The TS-AP2U comes with various plug options to accommodate different socket standards worldwide. -
Adjust the Plug Prongs:
Depending on your destination, retract or extend the appropriate plug prongs on the TS-AP2U. To extend the prongs, gently slide the switch on the side of the device to the “unlocked” position. -
Insert the Plug into the Outlet:
Locate a power outlet in your destination, and firmly insert the TS-AP2U into the outlet. Ensure it is securely in place. -
Connect Your Devices:
Once the TS-AP2U is plugged in, you can connect your electronic devices to it. The power strip may have multiple AC outlets and USB ports, allowing you to charge or power several devices simultaneously. -
Power On Your Devices:
Turn on your devices or plug them into the power strip, and they should start charging or functioning as usual. -
Charging Considerations:
Note that the TS-AP2U does not convert voltage. If the voltage in the country you’re visiting is different from your device’s voltage requirements, you may need a separate voltage converter or transformer. Make sure your devices are compatible with the local voltage. -
Use for Multiple Devices:
Take advantage of the power strip’s multiple outlets and USB ports to charge various devices, such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, cameras, and more. -
Safety Precautions:
To ensure safety, be mindful of the maximum power load supported by the TS- AP2U. Avoid overloading it with too many high-power devices simultaneously. -
When Finished:
When you’re done using the TS-AP2U, unplug it from the power outlet. Retract the plug prongs back into the device for compact and safe storage during your travels.
Not for the UK/Ireland/Scotland
Unemployed in the UK
This electric adapter for Europe can be used in the majority of Europe, however, it cannot be used in the UK, Ireland, or Scotland; instead, you must use a type G plug adapter for the UK. German, French, and Spanish sockets have larger, slightly bent plug designs because flat legs are more likely to slip off. This inner foot will have more usability.
Requisites for cruise ships
This power converter from the USA to Europe is portable and easy to carry. It is entirely a cruise ship necessity because it has NO cables and NO surge protection.
Unable to convert voltage
To avoid using a voltage converter, please ensure that your hair dryer, straightener, or other equipment can support 110V to 250V Dual Voltage.
Care and Maintenance
-
Keep It Clean:
Regularly inspect the power plug for any dust, dirt, or debris that may accumulate on the prongs or connectors. Clean it with a dry or slightly damp cloth when necessary. Ensure it is completely dry before use. -
Store It Safely:
When not in use, store the TS-AP2U in a dry and safe place, preferably in a travel pouch or case to prevent damage or dust buildup. Avoid storing it in areas with extreme temperatures or humidity. -
Avoid Overloading:
Be mindful of the maximum power load capacity of the power strip. Overloading it with too many high-power devices can lead to overheating and reduced performance. Refer to the user manual for guidance on power limits. -
Protect from Physical Damage:
Handle the TS-AP2U with care to avoid dropping or subjecting it to physical impact. Protect it from potential damage during your travels. -
Retract Prongs After Use:
After using the power plug, always retract the plug prongs back into the device. This helps prevent damage to the prongs and keeps the plug compact for storage. -
Check for Loose Connections:
Periodically inspect the connectors and outlets for any signs of loose connections. If you notice any issues, contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician for repair. -
Voltage Compatibility:
Remember that the TS-AP2U does not convert voltage. Ensure that your electronic devices are compatible with the local voltage at your travel destination. If needed, use a separate voltage converter or transformer for high-power devices. -
Firmware/Software Updates:
Some travel power plugs come with built-in USB ports. Occasionally check the manufacturer’s website for firmware or software updates to ensure optimal performance. -
Maintain Surge Protection:
If your power strip features surge protection, ensure it’s still operational. Surge protectors have a limited lifespan, and if they’ve been subjected to a significant surge event, they may need replacement. -
Compliance with Safety Standards:
Verify that your power plug is compliant with safety standards and regulations in your travel destinations. Some countries have specific safety requirements for electrical devices. -
Regularly Inspect the Cord:
If your power strip has a cord, periodically inspect it for any signs of fraying, wear, or damage. If you notice any issues, consider replacing the cord or the entire power strip.
Troubleshoot
Problem: Power Plug is Not Charging Devices
-
Check the Power Source:
Verify that the power source, such as the wall outlet, is functioning correctly. Try using a different outlet to ensure the issue is not with the outlet itself. -
Inspect the Device Connections:
Ensure that the devices you’re trying to charge are properly connected to the power strip or USB ports. Check for loose connections. -
Overload Protection:
The TS-AP2U may have overload protection. If you’re charging multiple devices, ensure that you haven’t exceeded the power strip’s maximum load capacity. Disconnect some devices if necessary.
Problem: The power Strip is Overheating
-
Reduce Load:
If the power strip becomes hot to the touch, it may be overloaded. Disconnect some devices to reduce the load. -
Ventilation:
Ensure that the power strip is placed on a flat, stable surface with adequate ventilation to dissipate heat. Avoid covering it with objects that may trap heat.
Problem: Prongs Are Not Extending or Retracting
Stuck Prongs:
If the plug prongs are stuck and not extending or retracting, gently try to
move the switch to unlock and release them. Make sure you’re following the
correct procedure for extending and retracting the prongs.
Problem: Surge Protection Issue
Reset Surge Protector:
If your power strip has surge protection and it appears not to be working,
it may have tripped due to a surge event. Locate the reset button or switch
(if available) and reset the surge protection.
Problem: Compatibility with Voltage
Voltage Mismatch:
Confirm that the voltage requirements of your electronic devices match the
local voltage in the country you’re visiting. If there’s a mismatch, you may
need a separate voltage converter or transformer for high-power devices.
Problem: Loose Connections
-
Inspect Connections:
Check for loose connections between the plug prongs and the power strip. Ensure that they are securely in place. -
Clean Connections:
Dust or debris on the plug prongs may lead to poor connections. Clean the prongs with a dry or slightly damp cloth.
Problem: Device Not Recognized on USB Ports
-
USB Port Compatibility:
Ensure that the USB ports on the power strip are compatible with your device. Some devices may not charge or be recognized on certain USB ports. -
Try Other Ports:
If a device is not recognized, try plugging it into a different USB port on the power strip.
Problem: Power Strip is Not Responding
-
Check for Power:
Ensure that the power strip is receiving power. Verify that it’s correctly plugged into the wall outlet. -
Test with Other Devices:
Connect a different device to the power strip to determine if the issue is with the power strip or the specific device. -
Contact Manufacturer:
If none of the above steps resolve the issue, contact the manufacturer’s customer support for further assistance.
