Important Notes
This product is a plug adapter only and does not convert voltage. Devices must operate at 250V or include internal voltage regulation to avoid damage. It is intended for use with low-power electronics such as chargers and small gadgets; not recommended for high-wattage appliances like hair dryers or irons unless paired with a proper voltage converter. Always verify your device’s voltage requirements before use. The adapters are not grounded and should not be used with three-pronged grounded plugs unless they include an earth wire connection point. This product does not include a voltage converter, surge protector, or built-in power strip functionality.
