A:Answer Thank you for your inquiry! The Insignia™ All-in-One Travel Adapter and Converter is a versatile device, but it's important to use it correctly to avoid any issues. The converter function is designed for short-term use only, typically 10-15 minutes at a time. Using it for longer periods can cause it to overheat and potentially damage your device or the converter itself. Ensure your device's voltage matches the power outlet's voltage. If your device is dual-voltage (e.g., 110V/220V), you can use the adapter without the converter. Always check the manufacturer's voltage and wattage rating of your device. Avoid using the converter if it's not working properly or has been damaged. For charging devices like phones or laptops, which typically have built-in voltage converters, you should be fine using just the adapter part. However, for high-power devices like hair dryers or curling irons, you need to be cautious and follow the usage guidelines strictly. Keith | Insignia Support
