If you notice issues with controlling your surge protector, it may be time to replace the battery in your remote. The first indication that the battery of your remote is wearing out is a decrease in functional range. This guide will walk you through replacing the battery.
NOTE: The manual override switch on the surge protector can also be used to turn the remote-switched outlets ON or OFF if the remote is lost, or if the battery needs replacing.
What you will need:
- A small, flat object, such as a flat-head screw driver to open the battery cover.
- An A23 12V alkaline battery
Step 1:
Remove the remote first if it is in the holder.
Step 2:

Put back the battery cover.
