How to set up the power strip?
Setting up the Addtam power strip is a quick and easy process. Here are the steps to get your power strip up and running:
1. Choose a location
First, decide where you want to place the power strip. It should be near an electrical outlet and in a spot that's easily accessible. Some good options are under a desk, along a wall, or behind furniture. Make sure the location doesn't create a tripping hazard.
2. Plug it in
Plug the power strip directly into a wall outlet. Do not use an extension cord as this can cause overheating. The power strip has a 5 foot long cord so it can reach most outlets. Be sure to completely insert the plug.
3. Check the power switch
There is a small power switch located on the side of the power strip. Make sure this switch is in the ON position so power can flow to the outlets.

You can now plug devices into the power strip's outlets. Plug in essential electronics first like your computer, monitor, router, etc. Then add peripherals like printers, phone chargers, lamps, and more. Be careful not to overload the power strip.
5. Use the USB ports
For convenient USB charging, just plug your devices' USB cables into the power strip's 3 USB ports. These ports work great for phones, tablets, and other items that charge via USB.
That covers the basic setup! Keep the power strip in an open, ventilated area and don't daisy chain multiple strips. With those tips, you'll safely install and enjoy your new Addtam power strip.
How to use the USB ports?
The Addtam power strip has 3 convenient USB ports for charging your USB-powered devices. Here is how to make the most of these ports:
Choose the right port
The power strip has the following USB ports:
- 1 USB-C PD port
- 2 USB-A ports
Use the USB-C PD port for higher power delivery up to 60W. It's ideal for larger devices like laptops, tablets, and battery packs. The two USB-A ports provide standard 5V/2.4A output for phones, Bluetooth speakers, and other accessories.
Plug in your device
Insert your device's USB charging cable into one of the available ports. The ports are spaced far enough apart to allow large power adapters. Push the cable in firmly to ensure a secure connection.
Check the indicator light
There is a small LED light above each USB port. When lit, this indicates that the port is actively charging a device. If the light is off, there is no connection.
Monitor charging speed
Charging speed depends on the device and wall outlet amperage. The USB-C PD port supports up to 60W charging if using a compatible adapter. For optimal performance, plug the power strip directly into a wall outlet rather than an extension cord.
Avoid overloading
Do not exceed the total output of the USB ports which is 60W combined. Try not to use high-powered devices like hair dryers, fans, or mini-fridges on the power strip when also utilizing the USB ports.
Following these tips will allow you to safely charge up to 3 devices at once using the convenient USB ports on the Addtam power strip.
