PowerPac PP7970 16A Travel Adapter and Charger Owner’s Manual
Using adapters properly is critical to your safety. With continuous use over time, an adapter can rapidly deteriorate, creating a potentially dangerous electric shock or fire hazard.
Power adapters can only adapt the shape of a plug to fit into a power outlet and cannot convert to a higher voltage. If you wish to safely use any 100 – 120 volt electrical appliance, you will also need to bring a step down power converter along with the correct type of adapter.

Warnings
ATTENTION :
Read this booklet carefully as it contains important instructions for a safe installation, use and maintenance.
Important instructions to be kept for future reference.
The following basic precautions should always be followed when using electrical appliances:
-
Read all instructions before using the Adapter.
The Adapter -
This Adapter must be used only for the purpose it was expressly designed; any use NOT complying with the instructions contained in the manual is considered inappropriate and dangerous. The manufacturer is NOT responsible for possible damages caused by the inappropriate and/or unreasonable use.
-
The installation of the Adapter will be made in accordance with the indications of the manufacturer. A wrong procedure may cause damages to persons, animals or objects, for which the manufacturer cannot be considered responsible.
-
Before use, check the integrity of the Adapter. DO NOT operate the Adapter when it is damaged. In case you are not sure, contact a qualified person. If the Adapter is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a qualified technician in order to avoid a shock hazard.
-
Before powering the Adapter make sure the rating (voltage and frequency) corresponding to the grid and the socket is suitable for the plug of the appliance, and that the wall socket is properly grounded. This Adapter is fitted with an earth wire for extra safety.
-
Check the Adapter’s wattage rating, which is the amount of electricity it can safely transmit per second, and is provided either in watts or in amps and volts. (Multiply the amps and volts together to get the wattage rating.) The wattage rating must be greater than the appliance’s power requirement. If you plan to plug multiple appliances into an Adapter (if possible), add their wattages together to make sure the total DOES NOT exceed the Adapter’s wattage rating.
-
DO NOT attempt to connect multiple Adapters, or plug an Adapter into an Extension Socket, or vice versa. This mistake can lead to fires, equipment failures and electrocution. Plugging two Adapters or Adapter + Extension Socket together reduces their current capacity which will result in voltage drop and overheating.
-
The Adapter must NOT be switched on using external timers and/or other remote control appliances which are not specified in this manual.
-
Only use original components & accessories provided by the manufacturer. Any non-original component or accessory NOT recommended by the manufacturer (including those made by other manufacturers or by the same manufacturer but for other models) may cause injuries to persons or damage to the Adapter.
-
The packing materials (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, etc.) must be kept out of the reach of children or disabled persons since they represent potential sources of danger.
Location -
This Adapter is NOT suitable to be used or stored near heat sources (open flame, ovens, heaters, stoves, etc.) and/or in an explosive environment (in the presence of flammable substances such as gas, vapour, mist or dust, in atmospheric conditions when, after ignition, the combustion is spread in the air). Items containing these substances should never be placed in the Adapter, and never be used to clean the Adapter in order to avert the risk of fire or explosion.
-
The Adapter should NOT be placed on a surface, or in the vicinity of objects which can be damaged by heat, such as carpets, curtains, textiles or plastics. DO NOT locate multiple Adapters close to each other. During operation, as heat is transferred away from the Adapter, the surface that the Adapter is placed upon as well the surface immediately above or adjacent to it may become very hot. If the Adapter is operated on wooden furniture, use a protective pad to prevent damage to delicate finishes.
-
Avoid placing the cable(s) of appliance(s) plugged into the Adapter on abrasive or sharp surfaces or in positions where it can be damaged easily. DO NOT damage a cable’s insulation by dropping tools or materials on them, pinching them in doors and windows or under heavy furniture, dropping tools or materials on them, or letting them hang in the air while their plugs are attached to the Adapter.
-
Avoid snagging the cable(s) of appliance(s) plugged into the Adapter. The Adapter might be ripped from the wall socket as a result. This may cause injuries to persons or damage to the Adapter.
-
The Adapter should be plugged into outlets in the same room where work is being performed. DO NOT run the cable(s) of appliance(s) plugged into the Adapter through walls, ceilings or floors. The cable must NOT be placed under carpets, or covered with throw rugs, runners or similar. If a cable is covered, heat cannot escape, which may result in a fire hazard.
-
DO NOT use or store the Adapter outdoors. Store and use the Adapter only indoors, or in any case, protected from weathering such as rain, direct radiation of the sun and dust. Outdoor adapters have insulation that protects against moisture, sunlight and abrasion, so using an indoor adapter outdoors can create a fire hazard or result in electric shock.
Operation -
If you are using the Adapter for the first time, you should:
a. Clean the Adapter with a slightly damp cloth. Ensure that the Adapter is completely dry before use. DO NOT use metal scouring pads.
b. Make sure to remove any label or protective sheet which may prevent its proper functioning.
DO NOT:
● cover the Adapter during functioning;
● insert objects or body parts inside the protection cover of the Adapter;
● leave the Adapter, with an appliance inserted into it, unsupervised during operation. -
During operation, DO NOT touch the Adapter with wet body parts, and it is recommended to have between you and the standing surface, an isolating element (for example, wearing shoes with rubber soles).
-
DO NOT soak the Adapter in water or other liquids, wash it under the tap, or let any liquid flow into the internal casing of the Adapter to prevent electric shock. In case of accidental fall in water, DO NOT try to take it out, but immediately switch the wall socket off.
-
Switch the Adapter off by switching the socket switch OFF and detaching the Adapter from the wall socket. Thereafter detach the plugs of any appliances inserted into the Adapter if it is NOT used for a long period, and before storing, cleaning or performing any maintenance operation.
-
Insert and detach the Adapter from the wall socket holding it firmly with dry hands. Always detach the Adapter to avoid overheating.
-
In case of malfunction or anomaly during the functioning such as smoke coming out of the Adapter, switch the socket switch OFF and check the cause of the anomaly, if possible, with the support of a qualified person.
-
This Adapter is NOT intended for commercial use but to be used in households and similar applications, such as:
● Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments;
● By clients in dormitories hotels, motels and other residential environments;
● Bed and breakfast type environments. -

How to use
- Insert the plug of the Adapter into the wall socket.
- Insert the plugs of appliances into the Adapter. When using multiple appliances, add their wattages together to make sure the total DOES NOT exceed the Adapter’s wattage rating.
