- Plug the wireless outlet into a wall socket.
- Press and hold the 'Learning' button on the side of the wireless outlet for approximately 4 seconds until the blue indicator light begins to flash.

- You will hear a click from the outlet, and the blue indicator light will become steady, indicating successful pairing.
- To clear all pairings for an outlet, press and hold the 'Learning' button for approximately 10 seconds until the blue indicator light flashes rapidly and then turns off.
6. Operating Instructions
Once the outlets are plugged in and paired, operating them is straightforward.
- Individual Control: Press the numbered 'ON' button on the remote to turn on the corresponding outlet, and the 'OFF' button to turn it off.
- All ON/OFF: Some remotes may feature a master 'ALL ON' or 'ALL OFF' button to control all paired outlets simultaneously. Refer to your specific remote's layout.
- Manual Control: Each wireless outlet also has a manual ON/OFF button on its side, allowing you to control the connected appliance directly at the outlet.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your BN-LINK Wireless Remote Control Electrical Outlet Switch, refer to the following common solutions:
- Appliance Not Responding:
- Ensure the appliance is properly plugged into the wireless outlet and is switched ON if it has its own power switch.

- Re-pair the remote control with the outlet using the 'Custom Pairing' steps in Section 5.2.
- Remote Control Signal Issues:
- Ensure you are within the 100-foot operating range.

- Cold Battery Performance: In cold environments, remote control batteries may temporarily lose efficiency. Warm the battery by holding it in your hand or placing it in a warm area for a few minutes to restore function.
- Power Outage Behavior: After a power outage, the outlets are designed to remain OFF to prevent unexpected activation of connected appliances. You will need to manually turn them ON using the remote or the button on the outlet.
