- Connect Appliance: Plug your desired outdoor appliance (e.g., string lights, fountain pump) into the outlet on the DEWENWILS unit.
- Remote Control: The remote control comes pre-paired with the outlet, so no programming is required. It includes a CR2032 3V battery.

Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your DEWENWILS Outdoor Wireless Remote Control Outlet, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior of the outlet unit with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Ensure the unit is unplugged before cleaning. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Battery Replacement: The remote control is powered by a CR2032 3V battery. If the remote's range decreases or it becomes unresponsive, it may be time to replace the battery. To replace, carefully open the battery compartment on the back of the remote, remove the old battery, and insert a new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing upwards.
- Outlet Cover: The twist-to-lock safety outlet cover provides protection from rain, snow, and dust. Ensure it is properly closed when the outlet is not in use or when only one socket is occupied.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your DEWENWILS Outdoor Wireless Remote Control Outlet, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Appliance Not Turning On/Off:
- Ensure the outlet unit is securely plugged into a working electrical receptacle.
- Verify that the appliance connected to the outlet is properly plugged in and functioning correctly when directly connected to a power source.
- Check the remote control battery (CR2032 3V). Replace if necessary.
- Ensure you are within the 100-foot operating range. While the signal can pass through walls, excessive obstructions or interference may reduce the effective range.
- Intermittent Operation:
- This could indicate a low battery in the remote control. Replace the CR2032 3V battery.
- Minimize potential sources of strong radio frequency (RF) interference near the outlet unit or remote control.
- Weather-Related Issues:
- Ensure the outlet is mounted vertically with sockets facing downward to prevent water ingress.
- Confirm the twist-to-lock safety outlet cover is securely closed when not in use.
