Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Outlet does not respond to remote. | Remote battery is low or dead. | Replace the CR2032 battery in the remote control. |
| Outlet is unplugged or not receiving power. | Ensure the outlet is securely plugged into a live wall socket. Check the wall socket with another device. | |
| Remote and outlet are out of range or signal interference. | Move closer to the outlet. Ensure no large metal objects are blocking the signal path. | |
| Appliance connected to outlet does not turn on. | Appliance is not powered on or is faulty. | Ensure the appliance itself is switched on (if it has a physical switch) and functioning correctly when plugged directly into a wall socket. |
| Countdown function does not work. | Incorrect button pressed. | Ensure you are pressing the '30M' or '2H' button for countdown. Pressing 'ON' provides continuous power. |
