- Ventilació: Place the converter in a well-ventilated area. Do not cover the unit or place it in an enclosed space during operation.
- Humitat: Do not expose the converter to water, rain, or excessive humidity.
- Nens i animals de companyia: Mantingueu el convertidor fora de l'abast dels nens i les mascotes.
- Danys: Do not operate the converter if the cord, plug, or unit itself appears damaged. Contact customer support for assistance.
- Només per a ús interior: This converter is designed for indoor use only.
- Desendolleu-lo quan no estigui en ús: Disconnect the converter from the power outlet when not in use.
4. Setup and Voltage Selecció
Proper setup of the SW-S15 converter is crucial for its safe and effective operation. The unit features a selector switch on its bottom to choose between step-up (110V to 220V) and step-down (220V to 110V) conversion modes.
4.1 Identifying Input and Output
The front of the converter clearly indicates the input and output voltage settings. There are two indicator lights:
- Input: AC110V 50/60Hz, Output: AC220V 50/60Hz (Red indicator light)
- Input: AC220V 50/60Hz, Output: AC110V 50/60Hz (Green indicator light)

Refer to the following guidelines for setting the switch:
- To Convert 110V to 220V (Step-Up):
- If you are in a region with 110V power (e.g., Canada, Brazil, Japan, United States, Taiwan) and need to power a 220V appliance:
- Set the switch to the position labeled for Input: 110V, Output: 220V.
- The red indicator light on the front will illuminate when powered.
- To Convert 220V to 110V (Step-Down):
- If you are in a region with 220V power (e.g., China, most of Europe) and need to power a 110V appliance:
- Set the switch to the position labeled for Input: 220V, Output: 110V.
- The green indicator light on the front will illuminate when powered.
