No, the USB ports are standard and designed to accept USB cables directly for charging compatible devices.
The total USB output is 2.1A. While it can charge two devices simultaneously, it may not support the fastest charging speeds for high-power devices if both ports are in use.
Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's website for specific warranty information, as it can vary.
Standard sockets usually have specific IP ratings for use in bathrooms and kitchens. This model is typically intended for general living areas. Always check electrical regulations for specific room requirements.
'2-Gang' refers to the socket having two individual outlets.
The Mirror Chrome finish provides a modern look but can easily show fingerprints and smudges, requiring regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth.
This is a dual socket replacement. If you have a single socket, you would need to ensure adequate space and wiring is available, and this replacement should be performed by a qualified electrician.
Ensure the main power to the socket is on. Check that the device's charging cable is functional. Verify that the total power draw from both USB ports does not exceed the 2.1A limit. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician.
Check your home's main consumer unit (fuse box) to ensure the circuit breaker for this socket has not tripped. Inspect wiring connections if you are a qualified electrician. If the breaker is fine, the socket may be faulty and require replacement.
This may indicate an internal issue. Do not attempt to force the switches. Contact a qualified electrician for inspection and potential repair or replacement.
Setup: This unit must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with current wiring regulations. It is designed to replace a standard UK twin switched socket. Ensure the power is switched off at the mains before attempting installation.
Compatibility: Compatible with standard UK mains voltage (230V) and frequency (50Hz). The USB ports are compatible with devices requiring 5V DC charging. For the switched sockets, ensure the total load does not exceed the rated capacity of the socket.
Care: Clean the faceplate with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the Mirror Chrome finish. For safety, always ensure hands are dry when operating the switches or plugging in devices.
