Troubleshooting

USB port not charging device

Ensure the device's charging cable is fully inserted into the USB port and the other end is properly connected to the device. Check that the main socket is receiving power. If the issue persists, try a different USB cable or device to rule out a fault with the cable or device.

Socket not providing power

Verify that the power to the circuit is switched on at the consumer unit (fuse box). Check all wiring connections are secure according to the fitting instructions. If the issue persists, consult a qualified electrician.

Inconsistent USB charging speed

The integrated USB port is designed for general charging. For faster charging of power-hungry devices, a dedicated high-output USB charger or power adapter may be more suitable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Colour-coded fixing screws and a plastic gasket are supplied for straightforward fitting. Full fitting instructions are included with the product.
