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 o
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, 100V ×
2.5 amps = 250 watts).
• Contact the device’s manufacturer.
