What type of cable and plug should I use?

You should use a cable and plug appropriate for the total power requirements of the devices you plan to connect. Ensure both are rated for the voltage and current of your electrical system.

How do I replace the fuse?

Unplug the trailing socket from the power source. Locate the fuse compartment (usually a small slot on the socket). Use a screwdriver to open the compartment, remove the old fuse, and insert a new fuse of the correct rating.

Is this trailing socket suitable for outdoor use?

No, this trailing socket is not designed for outdoor use. It should be used indoors or in protected environments only. Ensure the environment is dry.

Troubleshooting
