FAQ's

Q: What appliances can I use this extension lead 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: 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 these in the same room, or do they interfere with each other?

Answer: This is supported. The controller may also be used to control the individual sockets provided by Energenie.

Q. What does the green button do?

Answer: In normal operation it toggles all sockets on/off. The led light above the button will be continuously on if any socket is on.

Q: Can the extension lead be re-programmed to work with a different controller?

Answer: Yes, as long as it is from Energenie.  Press and hold for 6 seconds to clear the keycode memory. The light above will button flash at 1 second intervals awaiting programming. Press and hold briefly ANY key on the remote until the light flashes quickly 4 or 5 times indicating programming accepted. All sockets are then correctly programmed for the hand controller. The programming process does not affect whether any socket is on or off at the time.

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 individual sockets. The hand controller is compatible with the single radio socket.
