Inspect GPS Charger Components Before Use
Prior to providing a power supply and charging cables to your clients, inspect the cables and power supply for signs of wear and tear. After GPS charger components have been in service for several months:
- AC charging cables may become weakened at the junction where the cord plugs into the power supply and expose bare wires (pictured below) that can short out and spark when plugged into a wall outlet.
- The contacts inside the connector on the GPS device charging cable that plugs into the two DC pins on the power supply may become damaged or completely fall out (pictured below) and will no longer carry electrical current to charge the GPS device.
- The DC pins on on the power supply itself may become bent or broken (pictured below) and will no longer transfer power to the GPS device charging cable.

All three components of the GPS device charger are consumables; so if any of the above conditions is true, dispose of the component and order a replacement from the SCRAM Equipment Order Form or by contacting Customer Service.
