Maintenance
- Keep it Dry : Power strips should be kept away from wet areas. If any liquid is spilled on it, unplug it immediately and let it dry thoroughly before using it again.
- Dust and Debris : Keep the power strip clean from dust and debris which can accumulate over time. Unplug the power strip and use a dry cloth to wipe it down.
- Proper Ventilation : Ensure that your power strip is in a well-ventilated area and not covered by anything like a rug or furniture that could cause overheating.
- Cord Management : Avoid bending or twisting the power cord excessively, and make sure it is not pinched by furniture or walked on, as this could damage the cord.
- Avoid Overloading : Do not exceed the electrical rating of the power strip by plugging in too many high-powered appliances or devices.
- Surge Protection : If your model has surge protection, be aware that surge protectors have a limited life expectancy. I
- Unplug When Not in Use : If the power strip is not in use for an extended period, or if you notice any unusual signs (like a burning smell or sparks), unplug it.

Troubleshooting
- Check the Power Source: Ensure the power strip is plugged into a working wall outlet. Test the wall outlet with another device to confirm it is providing power.
- Inspect the Power Cord: Look for any damage to the cord that might prevent power from reaching the power strip.
- Check the Power Switch: Some power strips have an on/off switch. Ensure that it is turned on.
- Reset the Power Strip: If your power strip has a reset button or a built-in circuit breaker, try pressing the reset to restore power.
- Check for Overload: Unplug all devices and try resetting the power strip. Overloading can cause the circuit breaker to trip.
- Check Indicator Lights: If your power strip has indicator lights, they can often provide information on whether the surge protection has been triggered or if the power strip is grounded.
- Check Individual Outlets: Plug a device into different outlets on the strip to determine if only one outlet is not functioning or if the entire strip is not working.
- Inspect the Device Cables: Ensure that the cables of the devices you’re trying to power are not damaged and are properly connected.
- Check for Compatibility: Verify that the power requirements of your devices do not exceed the output capacity of the power strip.
- USB Ports Not Working: If the model includes USB ports, try using a different USB cable to check if the issue is with the cable or the power strip itself.
