How to assemble your Spectra breast pump power adaptor
If you purchased a Spectra S1, S2, S9 or M1, your Spectra breast pump will come with a power adaptor packaged in two separate pieces. It'll have the main adaptor, and the Australian prong.
Before you can power your breast pump, you'll need to assemble your power adaptor. Take the Australian prong and slide it down into the front of the power adaptor. You will hear (and feel!) a loud click. It can sometimes take a sizable amount of force to seat the prong correctly, so don't be afraid to push hard. You can verify that the Australian adaptor is seated correctly by looking at the back of the adaptor. You should not be able to see the top of the prong when looking from the back. See the illustration below:

If the power adaptor is assembled correctly and your pump still won't charge or turn on, here are a few things you can try...Try a different outlet
You never know if one particular outlet is not putting out enough power, so it's always worth verifying by trying another outlet with your breast pump.Make sure the adaptor is plugged in all the way
Sometimes it's possible to plug the adaptor into the breast pump but not have it inserted fully. Give it an extra press to make sure it's inserted all the way in.
Verify that your adaptor plug is pushed in all the way.
