Using this power supply is easy. First, connect the power supply to a 110V or 220V power source. You can use the included plug if you're in the US, Canada, or Japan, or use a plug adapter for other countries, or replace the cable with a standard 'figure - 8' cable. Then, connect the output to your device using the 2.1mm DC plug. The green indicator light will turn on when it's working. When using it for LED strips or CNC motors, make sure the power requirements of your devices are within the 12V 5A capacity. Don't overload the power supply. As for maintenance, keep it in a dry and cool place. If you notice any abnormal heat or strange noises, stop using it immediately and check for problems.
