How do I know if the socket is live?

Troubleshooting
Neon indicator does not light up.
Check that the extension socket is fully plugged into a live wall socket. Verify the wall socket is functioning by testing with another appliance. Ensure the connected device is not faulty.
No power to connected devices.
Confirm the wall socket is live. Check if the total power draw of connected devices exceeds the 13A rating, which may have tripped internal protection (if applicable) or overloaded the circuit. Unplug devices and test one by one.
