The MARU Traveller Bundle is a versatile and compact power solution designed for global travelers, offering a range of charging and power features in a portable form factor. Its primary function is to provide power outlets and USB charging ports for various electronic devices, adapting to different international standards.
The core function of the MARU Traveller Bundle is to act as a universal power strip and charger. It integrates multiple power interfaces, including a universal AC socket, USB-A ports, and a TYPE-C port, allowing users to charge or power a wide array of devices simultaneously. The universal AC socket is designed to accommodate different plug types, making it suitable for use in various countries when paired with the appropriate adapter heads. This eliminates the need for multiple country-specific adapters, streamlining the travel experience.
A key feature is its extension strip, which can be pulled out to provide additional reach for the AC socket. This is particularly useful in situations where power outlets are not conveniently located. The extension strip is designed for easy deployment and retraction, ensuring a tidy and organized setup.
The device also includes a built-in LED Light Module, which serves as a portable light source. This module is battery-powered and can be switched on or off as needed, offering convenience in low-light environments. Its magnetic attraction feature allows it to be attached to metallic surfaces, providing hands-free illumination.
For charging smaller electronic devices, the MARU Traveller Bundle offers both USB-A and TYPE-C ports. The USB-A ports are suitable for standard USB-powered devices, while the TYPE-C port provides higher power output, making it capable of charging more demanding devices like laptops, in addition to mobile phones. The TYPE-C port intelligently adjusts its output based on the connected device, offering both laptop-specific and mobile-specific power profiles.
Safety is a paramount function, with an integrated 7A Auto Reset Fuse. This fuse protects connected devices from power surges and overcurrents, automatically resetting after a fault condition. This feature enhances the longevity of both the MARU device and the electronics plugged into it.
The MARU Traveller Bundle is designed for ease of use and adaptability in various travel scenarios.
Pulling out the extension strip: To access the extension strip, users first remove a magnetic plug at a 45-degree angle. The strip can then be extended to the desired length. This two-step process ensures that the strip remains securely stored when not in use.
Coiling up the extension strip: Retracting the extension strip is equally straightforward. Users wind the strip against the strip core. Before fully withdrawing it, a slight pull helps to tighten the coil, ensuring a neat storage. Finally, the magnetic plug is placed back at a 45-degree angle to secure the coiled strip.
Using the LED module: The LED light module is activated by pushing a button to switch it on or off. When connected to a power source, an orange light indicates that the module is charging, while the light turns off when fully charged. The module's magnetic property allows it to be attached to magnetic objects, providing flexible lighting options.
Attaching adapter heads: For international use, the desired adapter head is simply attached into the MARU unit. The device supports various international adapter types (UK, EU, AU, US), which can be interchanged as needed. These adapter heads are designed to plug into the MARU's universal socket, converting it to the local standard.
Plugging in devices: Devices are plugged into the corresponding sockets. For USB-A, there are specific 1A and 0.5A ports. For TYPE-C, there are distinct "LAPTOP" and "MOBILE" ports, each optimized for different power requirements. The universal AC socket accommodates various plug types, and for devices requiring grounding, a grounding-pin can be plugged into the MARU groove after pulling out the extension strip.
Voltage compatibility: The MARU's AC socket supports a wide range of input voltages (110V-220V/240V), making it compatible with most international power grids. However, it's crucial to note that MARU does not transform AC voltage; it only passes through the local voltage. Therefore, users must ensure their devices are compatible with the local voltage. DC charging, via USB ports, is universally compatible within the 100-240V range.
Safety guidelines: The manual emphasizes several usage precautions:
The MARU Traveller Bundle incorporates features and guidelines to ensure its longevity and reliable performance.
Auto Reset Fuse: The 7A Auto Reset Fuse is a key maintenance feature. If the fuse trips due to an overload (e.g., plugging in an appliance over 7A), users are instructed to wait 3-5 minutes for it to cool down and reset before plugging in appliances again. This automatic reset mechanism eliminates the need for manual fuse replacement, simplifying maintenance.
Battery life for LED module: To maintain the battery life of the LED module, it should be charged at least once every 3 months. This prevents deep discharge and prolongs the module's operational lifespan.
Troubleshooting for slow charging (TYPE-C): If charging speed is slow, users are advised to check if their device or cable supports PD (Power Delivery) charging or if they are using an OEM cable. It's also important to ensure the correct TYPE-C port ("LAPTOP" for higher power, "MOBILE" for lower power) is being used. For devices requiring higher wattage, it's suggested to use the original transformer plugged into the MARU AC socket.
Addressing device heating: It is normal for the MARU to heat up during operation. However, if it stops working, users should refer to the "About Auto Reset Fuse" instructions and check for overloaded devices. This indicates a self-regulating mechanism to prevent damage from overheating.
Managing operational noise: The device may produce a subtle electric current noise when plugged in. This is described as a normal situation and not indicative of a fault, requiring no specific maintenance.
Minimizing socket sparks: Occasional sparks when plugging into a socket are normal. To reduce this, users are advised to minimize intermittent contact during insertion.
These maintenance features and guidelines are designed to empower users to troubleshoot common issues and ensure the MARU Traveller Bundle remains a reliable travel companion.
