FAQs

Can I mount this extension lead to a wall?

Yes, it features integrated wall-fixing points on the rear for secure mounting.

What is the purpose of the indicator lights?

The lights confirm that the device is receiving power and that the internal surge protection mechanism is currently active.

Is this suitable for high-power appliances like kettles or heaters?

While it can power most household items, always check the total wattage of connected devices does not exceed the maximum load specified by the manufacturer (typically 13A total).

Are the sockets child-safe?

How long is the cable?

The extension lead comes with a fixed 2-metre power cable.

Does this provide protection for phone lines or TV aerials?

No, this model provides surge protection for electrical power only.

Troubleshooting

Power indicator light is off

Check that the wall socket is switched on and the plug is firmly inserted. If it remains off, test the appliance in a different wall socket.

Surge protection light fails to illuminate

The surge protection circuitry may have been tripped by a severe power event. If the protection light is permanently out, the unit may need replacement to ensure your devices remain protected.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup is straightforward: simply plug the lead into a standard wall socket and ensure the power indicator light is illuminated. If you plan to mount the unit, use the designated fixing holes on the back with appropriate screws for your wall surface. For care, keep the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area and periodically wipe down the casing with a dry cloth to prevent dust buildup. Never use the lead if the cable is frayed or if the casing shows signs of cracking, as damage to the insulation can pose an electrical risk. The product is fully certified to BS1363-2 standards, ensuring it meets UK safety requirements for electrical distribution equipment.
