Troubleshooting
Extension lead not powering devices
Ensure the mains plug is fully inserted into a working wall socket. Check if the individual switches on the extension lead are in the 'on' position. Verify the LED power indicator is lit. Test the wall socket with another device.
LED power indicator is not lit
Check the mains plug connection and ensure the wall socket is providing power. If the LED remains off even when connected to a working socket, the unit may be faulty.
Devices intermittently lose power
Check that each device plug is securely seated in its socket on the extension lead. Ensure the total power consumption of all connected devices does not exceed the 13A rating, which could cause the unit to trip or overheat.
