Product Information
Full details
This Trendi Artistic Modern Glossy Tactile TV Socket is designed for homeowners seeking a sleek, modern update to their entertainment areas. Its key benefit is the screwless, easy-clean design that enhances aesthetics without complex installation. A minor consideration is that it's a dedicated coaxial socket, requiring separate outlets for other connections. The product features a high-quality fireproof ABS plastic construction with a glossy white finish that resists fading, a screwless plate for a clean look, and a semi-flush design that integrates smoothly with walls.

FAQs
What type of cable does this socket connect to?
This is a coaxial TV socket designed for standard TV antenna or cable connections, typically using an F-type connector.
Do I need an electrician to install this?
While no additional wiring is needed and installation is designed to be simple, it is always recommended to consult a qualified electrician if you are unsure about electrical work, especially regarding power disconnection.
How do I clean the glossy surface?
Clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or scouring pads which can damage the finish.
What is the warranty period for this product?

Can I change the color of the plate later?
Yes, this socket is part of the Trendiswitch collection. You can replace the white faceplate with other compatible Trendiswitch plates (sold separately) for a new look.
Is this socket suitable for satellite TV connections?
This socket is primarily designed for terrestrial TV signals. For satellite TV, ensure compatibility with your specific satellite receiver and cabling requirements.
Does the screwless design affect stability?
No, the screwless design utilizes a click-fit mechanism that securely attaches the faceplate to the underlying socket. It is designed for stability and ease of use.
Troubleshooting
No TV signal after installation
Verify that the coaxial cable is securely connected to the back of the socket and to the TV or distribution point. Ensure the main power is on and check the antenna or cable source.
Socket feels loose or wobbly
Gently remove the faceplate and re-align the socket mechanism with the wall box, ensuring it clicks firmly into place. Check that no obstructions are preventing a secure fit.
Surface appears dull or scratched
Ensure you are only using a soft, damp cloth for cleaning. Avoid abrasive materials. If scratches are deep, they may be permanent. Contact TrendiSwitch customer support if concerned about material defects within the warranty period.
