FAQs

Can I use this extension lead outdoors?

No, this product is designed strictly for indoor use and should not be exposed to moisture or extreme weather.

Does it have a reset button?

This model relies on integrated surge protection and status LEDs; if the surge protection fails, the unit should be replaced.

Can I daisy-chain this with another extension lead?

It is strongly advised against daisy-chaining multiple extension leads as this increases the risk of overloading the wall socket.

What is the cable length?

The lead is equipped with a 2-metre cable.

Is this product safe to use with high-powered heaters?

No, high-wattage appliances like heaters or kettles can exceed the rated load. Only use this for electronics within the recommended wattage range.

What does BS1363-2 compliance mean?

It confirms that the product meets the British Standard for performance and safety for extension leads.

Troubleshooting

Power LED does not illuminate when plugged in

Ensure the wall socket is switched on and check that the plug is fully inserted. Test with another appliance to verify the wall socket is functional.

Surge indicator light is off

The surge protection circuit may have been compromised by a large spike. Replace the unit to restore protection for your electronics.

Socket feels loose

Check if the plug is fully pushed in. Avoid over-tightening devices into the mountable slots if installed on a wall.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up, simply plug the lead into a standard UK mains wall socket and turn on the power. Ensure the total current draw of all connected devices does not exceed the maximum rated amperage of the lead. To maintain the unit, keep it dry and free of dust. Periodically inspect the cable for any signs of fraying or damage. If the surge protection LED stops illuminating, it may indicate that the surge protection circuit has reached its capacity and the unit should be replaced to ensure your electronics remain safeguarded. Always clean with a dry cloth and never use liquid cleaners near the sockets.
