Yes, the surge protection makes it a suitable choice for computers and other sensitive electronics, helping to mitigate the risk of damage from voltage spikes.
The product is fully compliant with BS 1363/A and BS 5733/A safety standards.
Ensure the individual socket switch is in the 'on' position and the red neon indicator is glowing. Check that the main wall outlet is also turned on.
Confirm that the socket is receiving power. If the device plugged into the socket still functions, the neon bulb itself may have reached the end of its service life, though the surge protection remains active.
To install, identify a location within 2 meters of your wall outlet and use the integrated mounting holes if you prefer an elevated position. Ensure that your total load does not exceed 13 Amps, as exceeding this may trip the fuse or cause the unit to overheat. When plugging in high-draw devices, verify that the total wattage across all six sockets remains within safe parameters.
Keep the lead dry and away from sources of extreme heat. Do not use the extension lead in damp environments or outdoors, as it is not IP-rated for moisture exposure. If the neon light fails to illuminate when the switch is toggled, test with a different device to ensure the connected item is functional before assuming the socket has failed. Periodically wipe the casing with a dry, lint-free cloth to keep it free of dust.
