Safety Tips for Chargers and Power Supply Units
- Do not purchase chargers / power supply units (including chargers / power supply units that come with an electrical product) without product information markings (such as the manufacturer’s name or trade mark, product model, rated voltage, frequency and power unit).
- Purchase only chargers / power supply units with a three-pin plug suitable to be used in Hong Kong (i.e. a plug that complies with safety standard BS1363 or BNS546).
- Do not use chargers / power supply units for a prolonged period of time to prevent overheating causing the accidents.
- If the chargers / power supply units are found to be damaged, overheating or making abnormal noise / smell/ vibration, stop using them immediately and unplug them.
