Use your own equipment
Use your own power supply and an undamaged cable when a sound wall socket is available. Check plug, voltage and frequency first, and avoid loose, damaged or discoloured outlets.
Avoid unknown USB data connections
CISA advises travellers to avoid connecting mobile devices to computers or charging stations they do not control. A USB connection can carry both power and data.
A personal power bank or a wall socket with your own charger reduces that dependency. A charge-only cable or suitable data blocker can add protection but does not replace careful judgment.
Quick charging check
- ✓Inspect the socket and adapter for visible damage.
- ✓Use your own charger and cable.
- ✓Do not leave the device unattended.
- ✓Disconnect immediately if there is heat, smell, crackling or repeated interruptions.
