Warning

       It is a fatal mistake to operate the product 

as follows:

       1. After high voltage triggered, the 

insertion of any device which has a maximum 

operating voltage below that high voltage 

may cause damage to the device plugged in.

       2.When the power meter is monitoring 

the voltage & current on the two ports, DO 

NOT plug any device into the other ports, this 

will cause damage (Especially when the device 

being monitored required a high voltage) to 

the devices.

      3.After using PD listener/trigger, or E-Mark 

Info Reader feature, please switch the PD 

tester switch back to OFF position for safer 

operation.

       

The author would not be responsible for 

any result of a faulty operation.
