Troubleshooting
No power to connected devices
Ensure the trailing socket is fully plugged into a working wall socket. Check if the wall socket itself is functional by testing another device. Verify that the total power draw of connected devices does not exceed the 13A limit, which could trip an internal safety mechanism or the household circuit breaker.
Overheating or unusual smell
Immediately disconnect the socket from the power source and any connected devices. This indicates a potential overload or fault. Do not use the socket again. Check the power ratings of the connected devices to ensure they are within the 13A limit. If the problem persists, discontinue use.
Loose plug or socket connection
Check for any visible damage to the plug or socket pins. If connections feel loose, do not use the product. Damaged electrical accessories should be replaced.
