Here you will find answers to frequently asked questions about our Multi USB power adapter for streaming devices. The adapter is designed to drive, for example, Google Streamer, Xiaomi TV Stick and other compatible streaming devices via USB – easily in the home, motorhome, caravan or other installations where you want to reduce the number of cables and power adapters.
What is the Multi USB Power Adapter?
The Multi USB power adapter is a power solution for streaming devices such as Google Streamer, Xiaomi TV Stick and other compatible devices.
It makes it possible to power the streaming device via USB instead of using a separate 230 V adapter.
Which streaming devices does the adapter work with?
The adapter works with several common streaming devices, including:
• Google Streamer
• Xiaomi TV Stick
• Chromecast
• Fire TV
• other compatible USB-powered streaming devices
Always check that your device has the correct power requirements before use.
Do I need 230 V to use the adapter?
No. One of the advantages of the adapter is that you can power your streaming device via USB without using a separate 230 V power adapter.
It is especially practical in a motorhome, caravan, boat or other installations where you want to avoid extra electrical outlets and cables.
Can I power my streaming device directly from the TV’s USB port?
Yes, if the TV’s USB port can supply enough power for the current streaming device.
The adapter helps provide a more stable power supply to compatible streaming devices.
What is the advantage of using the adapter?
The biggest advantage is a simpler and cleaner installation.
You avoid a separate 230 V adapter and reduce the number of cables behind the TV. It is extra flexible in smaller spaces such as motorhomes, caravans and boats.
Does the adapter work on 12 volts?
The adapter is particularly practical in 12 V environments when USB power is available, for example in a motorhome or caravan.
The streaming device is then powered via USB without the need for a separate 230 V supply.
Can I use the adapter at home?
Yes. The adapter works just as well at home as it does when travelling.
It is a good option if you want to reduce the number of power adapters and have a cleaner installation behind the TV.
Why does my streaming device restart or shut down?
It may be because the USB port is not supplying enough power.
In that case, try:
• another USB port on the TV
• a higher power USB port
• a separate USB power source
Some TVs limit the power in their USB ports.
What do I do if the adapter does not work in the TV’s USB port?
First try a different USB port on the TV.
If the problem persists, the TV’s USB port may be supplying too little power. Then connect the adapter to another USB power source or compatible power adapter.
Can I use multiple USB devices at the same time?
It depends on which power source you use and how much power the connected devices require.
If several devices are connected at the same time, the USB source must be able to deliver enough power to all devices.
Does the adapter affect picture or streaming quality?
No. The adapter does not affect the image or streaming quality itself.
It is used only for power supply. The streaming quality instead depends on the internet connection, WiFi, the streaming device and the service you use.
Can I use the adapter with a TV Stick in a motorhome or caravan?
Yes. It is one of the most common areas of use.
By operating the TV Stick via USB, you avoid using an extra 230 V socket, which makes for an easier installation in motorhomes and caravans.
Do I need any special installation?
No. Installation is simple.
Connect the adapter between the USB power source and the streaming device, then start the device as usual.
Can the adapter be plugged in all the time?
Yes, the adapter can normally stay plugged in as long as it is used with compatible equipment and power source.
Why doesn’t my streaming device get power when the TV is off?
On many TVs, the power to the USB ports is turned off when the TV is turned off.
This means that the streaming device also shuts down. When the TV is turned on again, the USB port receives power and the streaming device restarts.
Can I use the adapter with Google Streamer?
Yes, the adapter is designed to work with compatible streaming devices such as Google Streamer.
Check that the USB power source can supply enough power.
Can I use the adapter with the Xiaomi TV Stick?
Yes. The adapter works with compatible Xiaomi TV Stick models and is a convenient way to avoid a separate 230 V adapter.
Can I use the adapter with Chromecast or Fire TV?
Yes, the adapter can be used with several compatible Chromecast and Fire TV devices powered via USB.
Power requirements may vary between models, so check that the USB port or power source supports the device in question.
