5. Key Features
5.1 Remote Control Range
The LoraTap system utilizes a 915MHz RF wireless signal, providing a strong and reliable connection. The indoor wireless control range extends up to 100 feet (30 meters), and the outdoor range can reach up to 656 feet (200 meters) in open areas. The signal is capable of penetrating walls, windows, and ceilings without interfering with other electronic devices.

5.2 Memory Function
The LoraTap wireless plug-in receiver is equipped with a memory function. In the event of a power outage, the outlet will retain its last ON/OFF state once power is restored. For example, if the appliance was OFF before a power failure, it will remain OFF after power returns, contributing to energy saving.
Image 5.2: This image illustrates the 'Outlet with Memory Function' by showing a lamp's state before a power failure (on), during a power failure (off), and after power is restored (remaining off), demonstrating that the outlet remembers its last state.
5.3 Non-Interference
Each LoraTap remote control and outlet kit has a unique ID. This design ensures that multiple LoraTap wireless plug outlet kits can operate in the same area or room without signal interference between them.
Image 5.3: This diagram demonstrates the 'No Interference' feature, showing two distinct LoraTap plug adapters (A and B) each paired with their respective remote controls (A1, A2 and B1, B2), indicating that they can operate simultaneously without signal conflict.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Battery Replacement
The remote control is powered by a CR2032 coin cell battery. When the remote's performance diminishes or it stops responding, it may be time to replace the battery. To replace the battery:
- Gently twist the back cover of the remote control counter-clockwise to open it.
- Remove the old CR2032 battery.
- Insert a new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
- Align the back cover and twist clockwise to secure it.

6.2 Cleaning
To clean the device, wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as these may damage the product.
7. Troubleshooting
- Device not responding:
a. Ensure the plug adapter is securely plugged into a live outlet.
b. Verify the appliance connected to the adapter is powered on and functioning correctly.
c. Check the battery in the remote control and replace if necessary. - Limited range:
a. Ensure there are no major obstructions (e.g., thick concrete walls, large metal objects) between the remote and the plug adapter.
b. Move the remote closer to the plug adapter to test if the range improves. - Interference with other devices:
The LoraTap system is designed to prevent interference. If you experience issues, ensure no other wireless devices are operating on the same frequency or are too close to the LoraTap units.
