USING YOUR CONVERTER/ADAPTER

Warning

: Make sure that you have picked the correct converter/adapter 

combination for your device before use. An incorrect combination could 
damage your device. For indoor use only.

If using only an adapter plug:
1

  Make sure that your device is compatible and that you do not 

need the converter before use. Incorrect use could damage 
your device.

2

  Find the power outlet you want to connect your device to in 

the table to the right, then select the appropriate adapter 
plug.

3

  Connect the adapter plug to your device, then connect it to a 

power outlet.

If using an adapter plug with the converter:
1

  Make sure that your device is compatible and that you need 

the converter before use. Incorrect use could damage your 
device. 

2

  Check the device's rating plate for watts and select the 

correct watt setting on the converter.

3

  Find the power outlet you want to connect your device to in 

the table to the right, then select the appropriate plug.

  Connect your device to the converter, then connect it into 

the power outlet. The pins on the converter will fit most 
foreign power outlets. Plug adapters for other countries are 
available. See the Adapter plugs section.

If using the low watt setting 

(devices that use less 

than 25W)

:

The low setting can be used for long periods of time on 
products with electronic circuitry that are 0~25 W (for 
example, battery chargers and radios).

If using the high watt setting 

(devices that 

use 26-1875 W)

:

DO NOT use the HIGH setting for electronic circuitry products. 
The high setting is designed to be used only for short periods 
of time (less than 10 minutes).

TROUBLESHOOTING

My converter/adapter or device is humming

•  It is normal to hear a humming sound from your 

converter/adapter or device.

My device stopped working

•  If your device has a built-in thermostat, it may have shut 

off prematurely.

•  Make sure that you have selected the correct settings.
•  Wait for your device to cool down, then resume normal 

operation.

My device is working slowly

•  Some devices may operate slower in foreign countries that 

use 50 Hz of current (the U.S. operates on 60 Hz).

I don’t know my device’s voltage or wattage

•  Check on your device, its power adapter, or in its manual.
•  To calculate wattage, multiple voltage by amps (for 

example, 120V x 3 amps = 360 W).

•  Contact the device’s manufacturer.

SPECIFICATIONS

•  AC power rating: Appliances up to 25W for low wattage 

setting; Electric appliances between 26~1875W for high 
wattage setting.
