Operation

Always switch off the desired device before connecting it to the charging adapter.

Ensure that your device is suitable for the connection ratings of the product (see “Technical data” section).

Charging a USB device

1. Connect the switched-off USB device to the product. Use either the integrated USB-CTM cable (2) or a suitable cable for the USB-CTM port (1) / USB-A port (5).
2.  Plug the adapter plug (3) into the cigarette lighter socket in your vehicle. The status LED (4) on the product will light up to indicate that the product is ready for use.
   The USB device will now charge. If you wish to use the USB device, you may now turn it on.

Disconnecting a USB device

1.  Switch the USB device off.
2.  Disconnect the product from the cigarette lighter socket.
3.  Disconnect the USB cable from the product.

Important:

• You can use the product when the engine is on or off. However, you should not start the engine when the product is connected, as the power supply to the cigarette lighter socket is interrupted at start-up (on some vehicle models).
• If the engine is switched off, charging over a longer period of time will discharge the vehicle battery.

Changing the fuse

If the status LED (4) does not light up after you have inserted the adapter plug (3) into the cigarette lighter socket in the vehicle, you should check the fuse installed in the adapter plug (3) and replace it if necessary. Proceed as follows:

1. Turn the cap on the tip of the adapter plug (3) counter-clockwise.

2. Remove the defective fuse and replace it with a fuse of the same type (see “Technical Data” section).

3. Reinstall the cap and turn it clockwise.

Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents, rubbing alcohol or other chemical solutions, as these may damage the housing or impair the functioning of the device.

1. Disconnect the product from the power supply and the connected devices before cleaning.
2.  Use a dry, lint-free cloth to clean the product. Do not allow water to get inside the housing. To prevent scratch marks, do not press too strongly on the surface when cleaning.
