4. Setup Instructions
The Fosmon 6-Outlet Wall Plug Extender is designed for simple plug-and-play installation.
- Identify a Standard Duplex Outlet: Locate a standard 3-prong, 125V AC duplex wall outlet where you wish to expand power.
- Optional: Remove Wall Plate Screw: For a more secure installation, you may remove the center screw from your existing wall outlet plate. This extender includes a longer screw to secure it to the wall outlet.
- Plug In the Extender: Align the prongs of the Fosmon 6-Outlet Wall Plug Extender with the receptacles of the wall outlet and push firmly until it is flush with the wall.
- Secure with Screw (Optional): If you removed the wall plate screw, use the provided longer screw to secure the extender to the wall outlet for added stability.
- GFCI Outlets: This extender is compatible with GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets. When plugging into a GFCI outlet, do not use the mounting screw as GFCI outlets typically have test/reset buttons in the center where the screw would go. The extender will function correctly without the screw in GFCI outlets.
