Setup and Pairing

The HBN Wireless Remote Control Plug Sockets are designed for easy setup. Follow these steps to pair your remote with the sockets.

  1. Insert Battery: Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control and insert the included 12V battery. Ensure correct polarity. Note: Some batteries may have a thin protective film that needs to be removed before use.
  2. Plug in Socket: Plug the HBN remote control socket into a standard wall outlet. The LED indicator on the socket will flash briefly.
  3. Enter Learning Mode: Press and hold the "Learning" button (also labeled "ON/OFF") on the side of the socket for approximately 3 seconds until the LED indicator starts flashing slowly. This indicates it is in learning mode.
  4. Pair with Remote: While the socket's LED is flashing, press the desired "ON" button (e.g., "1 ON") on the remote control. The socket's LED will stop flashing and remain solid for a moment, then turn off, indicating successful pairing.
  5. Test Pairing: Press the corresponding "ON" and "OFF" buttons on the remote (e.g., "1 ON" and "1 OFF") to ensure the socket responds correctly.
  6. Repeat for Additional Sockets: If you have multiple sockets, repeat steps 2-5 for each socket, assigning them to different remote buttons (e.g., "2 ON/OFF", "3 ON/OFF", etc.).

Unpairing Sockets

To unpair a socket from a remote button:

  1. Plug in the socket you wish to unpair.
  2. Press and hold the "Learning" button on the socket for approximately 6 seconds until the LED indicator flashes rapidly, then turns off. This indicates the pairing has been cleared.
