But what if your OUPES 1200 is not functioning properly? How do you troubleshoot it and fix the common problems? In this guide, we will show you some tips and tricks to help you solve the issues and enjoy your OUPES 1200 to the fullest.
Check the Power Button
The first thing you should do when your OUPES 1200 is not turning on or off is to check the power button. Make sure it is not stuck or damaged. Press and hold the power button for 3 seconds to turn on or off the device. If the power button is not responding, try to reset the device by pressing the reset button on the back panel with a pin or a needle.
Check the Input and Output Ports
Another common issue with the OUPES 1200 is that some of the input or output ports are not working or charging. This could be due to several reasons, such as:
- The port is dirty or damaged. You can try to clean the port with a soft cloth or a cotton swab. Do not use any liquid or metal objects to clean the port.
- The cable or adapter is faulty or incompatible. You can try to use a different cable or adapter that matches the specifications of the port. For example, use a 12V/10A car charger for the car charging port, or a 100W PD charger for the USB-C port.
- The device connected to the port is drawing too much power or has a short circuit. You can try to disconnect the device and check if the port works with another device. If not, contact OUPES customer service for assistance.
Check the Battery Level and Temperature
The battery level and temperature of the OUPES 1200 are also important factors that affect its performance and safety. You can check the battery level and temperature on the LCD screen or by using the OUPES app on your smartphone. Here are some tips to maintain the optimal battery level and temperature:
- Charge the OUPES 1200 when the battery level is below 20% or above 80%. This will extend the battery life and prevent overcharging or overdischarging.
- Do not charge or discharge the OUPES 1200 when the temperature is below -10°C or above 40°C. This will prevent overheating or freezing of the battery.
- Do not expose the OUPES 1200 to direct sunlight, rain, snow, fire, or water. This will damage the device and cause safety hazards.
- Store the OUPES 1200 in a cool and dry place when not in use. This will prevent dust, moisture, and corrosion.
