Are the USB ports compatible with all devices?

The USB-A and USB-C ports offer broad compatibility for both the latest and legacy devices, but charging speed will be limited by the 10.5W total output.

Troubleshooting

No power to sockets or USB ports

Check that the extension lead is securely plugged into a working wall socket. Ensure the LED power indicator is lit. Verify that the connected device's plug is fully inserted into the socket.

USB device not charging or charging slowly

Ensure the total power draw from both USB ports does not exceed 10.5W. Try plugging the device into only one USB port. Confirm the USB cable is functional and compatible.

Surge protection LED is not illuminated

This may indicate that the surge protection has been compromised due to a power surge. If the LED is off, the connected equipment is no longer protected. Consider replacing the extension lead and have the surge protection checked.

Device intermittently cuts out

Check the connection of the device plugged into the extension lead and the connection of the extension lead to the wall socket. Ensure the cable is not damaged or kinked.
