FAQs

What is the maximum load capacity of this timer plug?

Please refer to the specific markings on the product itself or the product manual for the exact maximum wattage or amperage rating. It is crucial not to exceed this limit to ensure safe operation and prevent damage.

Can I set custom timer durations, like 90 minutes?

No, this timer plug features 7 preset countdown intervals only: 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 6 hours, and 8 hours. Custom durations are not possible.

Can I use this timer plug outdoors?

No, this timer plug is designed specifically for indoor use only. Using it outdoors could lead to damage, malfunction, or electrical hazards.

How do I reset the timer?

To reset the timer, simply unplug the timer plug from the mains socket and then plug it back in. You can then select a new countdown duration.

What type of USB ports does it have?

It features one USB A port and one USB C port for charging compatible devices.

Does the timer work if the connected appliance is switched off at its own power button?

Yes, the timer controls the power supply to the socket. If the appliance is switched off at its own switch, it will not receive power regardless of the timer setting. The timer ensures power is cut off after the set duration.

Can I charge multiple devices simultaneously?

You can connect devices to both the mains socket and the USB ports simultaneously. The USB A and USB C ports can be used at the same time, provided the total current draw does not exceed the timer's specified USB output limits.

Troubleshooting

Device connected to the timer is not turning on.

Ensure the timer plug is securely plugged into the mains socket and that the connected device is switched on. Verify the timer is not set to an active countdown that has already completed.

USB device is not charging.

Check that the USB cable is properly connected to both the device and the timer's USB port. Try a different USB cable or port to rule out cable or port issues. Ensure the timer is powered on.

Timer display is not working.

Verify the timer plug is receiving power from the mains socket. If the display remains blank after confirming power, contact customer support.

Device does not turn off automatically after the set time.

Confirm that the correct countdown interval was selected. Check if the connected appliance has its own internal timer or switch that might override the countdown plug. Reset the timer by unplugging and re-plugging it.
