The two USB ports have a combined output of 5V DC, 2100mA (2.1A). This means they can charge two devices simultaneously, but the total current is shared between them.
These USB ports are typically designed for lower-power devices like smartphones and tablets. Laptops usually require higher voltage and amperage than these ports can provide.
This socket is generally not recommended for installation in bathrooms due to safety regulations regarding water and electricity. Please consult local building codes and a qualified electrician.
No, the USB ports are powered by the same circuit as the sockets and will only function when the main sockets are switched on.
The USB ports are suitable for charging a wide range of 5V USB-powered devices, including most smartphones, tablets, e-readers, digital cameras, and portable speakers.
The Smart Port technology works automatically. You will notice your compatible device charging at its fastest possible rate without needing to adjust any settings.
Ensure the device is fully inserted into the USB port. Check if the combined output is being exceeded by other charging devices. Try a different USB cable or device to confirm functionality.
Verify that the switched socket is turned on. Check the fuse or circuit breaker controlling the circuit. Ensure proper wiring connections were made during installation.
The Smart Port technology optimizes charging, but some devices may have slower charge rates. Ensure no other high-demand devices are drawing power from the other USB port simultaneously. Check device specifications for charging current requirements.
Setup: This socket should be installed by a qualified electrician following all relevant wiring regulations. Ensure the power supply is isolated before commencing installation.
Compatibility: The 13A sockets are compatible with standard UK plugs. The USB ports are compatible with virtually all 5V USB-powered devices, including smartphones, tablets, cameras, and MP3 players.
Care: To clean the socket, first ensure the power is switched off at the mains. Then, use a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the finish.
