Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Installation of this switched socket should only be carried out by a qualified electrician. It requires a minimum flush mounting box depth of 25-35mm, depending on wiring conditions. Ensure the power supply is isolated before commencing installation.
Compatibility: The 13A switched socket is compatible with standard UK mains plugs. The USB-A port supports legacy USB charging standards, while the USB-C port supports modern charging protocols. For safety and optimal performance, always use certified USB cables. The shared 4.0A USB output is suitable for most modern smartphones and tablets, but high-power laptops or multiple high-demand devices may charge slower when used concurrently.
Care: To clean the socket, ensure the power is switched off at the mains. Use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Ensure the gasket remains intact if the unit is exposed to moisture.
