Troubleshooting

USB ports are not charging devices

Ensure the wall switch is in the 'ON' position and that the USB cable is fully inserted. If still not working, check that the total power draw from the USB ports is within limits.

Socket not providing power to appliances

Verify that the appliance plug is securely inserted and that the wall switch is turned on. Check the circuit breaker in your fuse box to ensure power is active to the room.

Faceplate appears loose

Ensure the internal mounting screws are tightened appropriately to the back box before snapping the screwless cover into place.
