Setup

  1. Remote Control Battery: The CR2032 battery is pre-installed. If replacement is needed, open the battery compartment on the back of the remote and insert a new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
  2. Placement: Select a suitable location for the outdoor outlet. Ensure it is placed on a flat surface or mounted securely, away from standing water. While weather-resistant, avoid direct exposure to extreme weather conditions to prolong product life.
  3. Plug In: Plug the BESTTEN outdoor outlet into a standard 125V AC grounded electrical receptacle. The indicator light on the outlet will illuminate briefly.
  4. Connect Devices: Plug your desired electrical devices (e.g., lights, pumps) into the two grounded outlets on the BESTTEN unit. Ensure the total wattage of connected devices does not exceed 1875W.
  5. Pairing (if necessary): The remote control and outlets are typically pre-paired. If the remote does not control the outlet, follow these steps:
    • Plug in the outlet.
    • Press and hold the small button on the side of the outlet unit for approximately 3-5 seconds until the indicator light flashes.
    • While the indicator light is flashing, press the 'ON' button for the desired channel (1, 2, or 3) on the remote control. The indicator light on the outlet will stop flashing, indicating successful pairing.
    • Note: This remote control system is designed to control both outlets on a single unit simultaneously. The remote cannot control the two outlets on the outdoor switch separately.

    • Timed Shut-off: The outlet turns on at dusk and automatically turns off after a set duration (e.g., 2, 4, 6, or 8 hours).

    These functions typically utilize a built-in photocell light sensor on the outlet unit.

  • Cleaning: Disconnect the outlet from power before cleaning. Wipe the unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the outlet and remote in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
