FAQ's

Q: What appliances can I use this socket for?
Answer: As it is 13A rated, it can be used with any household device. It is most suitable where access is restricted and for those with restricted movement.

Q: Can this be used with a trailing socket (a multi-socket extension lead) to allow many appliances to be turned on or off at the same time?
Answer: Yes. Plug the radio socket into the wall socket, then plug the lead of the trailing socket into the radio socket. Ensure the trailing socket is switched on if it has its own power switch.

Q: Is the remote controller battery powered?
Answer: Yes, it uses battery type A23 12V. The battery is preinstalled but needs the protective tag removed before first use. This may involve unscrewing the cover on the back with a small screwdriver.

Q: How do I replace the battery?
Answer: Unscrew the cover on the back of the hand controller with a small screwdriver. Replace the battery with an A23 12V battery. Ensure correct polarity for the battery.

Q: Does it work in concealed locations and behind walls?
Answer: As it uses radio frequency control it will work through walls, though its range will be reduced depending on the material and the thickness of the wall.

Q: How is the radio socket powered? Does it have a battery?
Answer: The socket uses power directly from the mains and so requires no battery. The controller requires a battery for its power.

Q: Can I use more than one of the sockets in the same room, or do they interfere with each other?
Answer: This is supported. The controller may also be used to control the 4 way extension lead with individual control for each socket provided by Energenie.

Q: Can a different button be programmed into the socket?
Answer: Yes. Press and hold the button on the socket unit for at least 5 seconds unit the light on the unit flashes slowly. A new key can then be programmed in by pressing and holding the required key 1,2,3,4 on the remote control until the light flashes quickly and extinguishes indicating programming complete.

Q: Can this product be used with any other remote controls such as my TV remote
Answer: This is not supported. Most TV remotes use infrared control.

Q: Is it possible to programme 2 remotes to the one extension lead?

Answer:  No, the current product has no way of duplicating the hand controller. Each hand controller creates its own unique code in order to prevent interference from a second or further hand controllers.

Q: Can the socket be used outside?
Answer: No, this product is for indoor use only.

Q: Do you have any other remote control devices?
Answer: We have a 4 way trailing socket (extension lead) that has individual control for each socket. The hand controller is compatible with the single radio socket.
