FAQ
Why isn’t my Thing charging?
There are 3 reasons why it might not charge:
1. Problem with
thing
CHARGER
• Remove from the wall for 30 seconds, then
plug back in (the safety cut-off circuit may
have been triggered).
• Remove and replace the tip, being careful
to feel the connector engage inside.
2. Problem with your power outlet
•
Is it a switched outlet? Make sure power is
ON to both sockets.
•
Is the outlet’s circuit on? Check your main
fusebox.
3. Problem with your device
• Restart your device to reset its charging
control system.
• Try charging it with a regular cable to iso-
late the problem.
How many can be stacked together at once?
For safety, never more than 2 or 3 max, and
then only when you’re plugging into a really
good, solid, safe outlet.
Advice if I stack a couple together?
Put the larger device on the ‘inside’ nearest
the wall. LARGER DEVICES LIKE TABLETS
SHOULD ONLY GO ON THE INSIDE.
How does MOV protection work?
Models SP & 2X provide strong protection
against sudden spikes in voltage. Simply
use as normal and ALL outputs (the tip on
top, the USBs
and front power outlets) enjoy
this protection.
How does DOUBLE-the-POWER work?
Model 2X has a second complete power cir-
cuit—DOUBLING the maximum output.
One circuit serves the tip on top. A second
serves the two lower outlets, so that plugging
something in to the USBs won’t slow the
charge to the device on top.
How do I care for my tips?
Keep them clean and dry. Wipe them with a
clean dry cloth.
Is it normal for the unit to get very warm?
Yup. It’s just working hard.
