What is the warranty period for this extension lead?
The product comes with a connected equipment warranty up to £1,000. Please refer to the product documentation for full terms and conditions.
How do I know if the surge protection is working?
Many models feature an indicator light that illuminates when the surge protection is active. If this light is off or flickers, the protection may be compromised, and the lead should be replaced.
Can I use this extension lead outdoors?
No, this extension lead is designed for indoor use only and should be kept away from water and moisture.
What is the maximum number of devices I can plug in?
The lead is available with either 4 or 6 sockets. Always ensure the total power consumption of your connected devices does not exceed the lead's maximum power rating.
What does 'safety shuttered sockets' mean?
Safety shutters are internal covers within the sockets that prevent accidental insertion of foreign objects, offering enhanced protection, especially in households with children.
How long is the lead?
The lead is 2 meters long, providing a good range for connecting devices.
Troubleshooting
No power to connected devices
Check that the extension lead is securely plugged into the wall socket. Ensure the wall socket is functional by testing it with another device. Check if the circuit breaker has tripped.
Surge protection indicator light is off (if applicable)
The surge protection may have been compromised or the unit may have failed. Discontinue use immediately and replace the extension lead. Contact Masterplug customer service if you believe the warranty should apply.
