Product Information

Full details

The Mercury 4-Gang Extension Lead is designed for homeowners and office professionals needing a space-efficient way to expand a single wall outlet into four. Its key benefit is the slimline design and integrated mounting slots which facilitate a clean, organized workspace, though users should note that the 1.0m cable length limits its use to areas very close to the power source.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the lead, simply plug it into a standard UK mains socket. If wall mounting, use the keyhole slots on the back to secure the unit to screws or hooks; ensure the screws are spaced correctly and the unit is firmly attached. For care, keep the unit away from moisture and direct heat sources. Regularly inspect the power cable for any signs of fraying or damage. To clean, use a dry or slightly damp cloth, ensuring the unit is completely disconnected from the power supply before performing any maintenance. Never attempt to disassemble the casing or repair internal components yourself.
