Maintenance
- Regular Inspection:
- Periodically inspect the power strip and its connected devices for any signs of damage or wear, such as frayed cords, exposed wires, or loose plugs. If you notice any issues, discontinue use and address them promptly.
- Keep It Clean:
- Dust and debris can accumulate on the power strip and its outlets over time. Periodically clean the power strip using a dry cloth or a can of compressed air to remove dust and particles that could interfere with proper connections.
- Cable Management:
- Ensure that the power cords connected to the charging station are neatly organized and do not create a tangled mess. Proper cable management reduces the risk of tripping hazards and minimizes wear and tear on the cords.
- Prevent Overloading:
- Avoid overloading the power strip by connecting too many high-wattage devices. Be mindful of the power rating and capacity of the power strip, which is typically indicated on the device.
- Surge Protection Status:
- If your power strip includes surge protection, periodically check the status indicator to ensure that surge protection is active. Some models have a “protected” or “fault” indicator to show if the surge protection is functioning correctly.
- Secure Mounting:
- If you have the option to mount the power strip, ensure it is securely mounted in a stable location. A secure mount prevents accidental disconnection or tipping.
- Firmware and Software Updates (if applicable):
- If your power strip has smart features or software components, keep them up to date by installing manufacturer-released updates or patches.

- Check that the power strip is properly grounded if it includes a grounding feature. Proper grounding is essential for safety and surge protection.
Troubleshooting
- No Power or Connectivity Issues:
- Check that the power strip is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
- Confirm that the outlet is functional by testing it with another device or using a socket tester.
- Ensure that the power strip’s on/off switch (if available) is in the “ON” position.
- Connected Devices Not Charging:
- If your devices are not charging when connected to the charging station, first confirm that the charging cables are properly connected.
- Test the charging station with another device to verify if it’s providing power.
- Make sure that the devices you’re trying to charge are functioning correctly by testing them on a different charger or power source.
- Overloading and Resetting:
- If the charging station has overload protection and it has tripped, it might automatically turn off power to prevent overheating. Reduce the load on the charging station by unplugging some devices and press the reset button (if provided) to restore power.
- Indicator Lights Not Working:
- If the charging station has indicator lights that are not illuminated, it may indicate an issue with the power strip itself. In this case, consider contacting Popowell customer support or replacing the power strip.
- Cable Damage:
- Examine the cables and connectors for any visible damage, such as fraying or exposed wires. If you find damage, replace the damaged cables.
- Circuit Breaker Issues:
- If the circuit breaker for the outlet or the main circuit breaker in your home frequently trips when using the charging station, it could be a sign of overloading. Reduce the number of devices connected to the strip or redistribute the load among different outlets.
- Inconsistent Charging:
- Over time, charging stations can wear out and may not provide consistent power. If you’ve been using the charging station heavily, it may be time to consider replacing it.
- Power Supply and Compatibility:
- Ensure that the charging station is receiving the appropriate power supply and voltage to operate efficiently. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations for power requirements.
