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:
Remove the battery cover from the back of the remote using a flat object such as a screwdriver. Then twist it in the top slot.
Step 3:
Place a brand new A23 (12V) alkaline battery in the slot to replace the used battery.
Step 4:
Put back the battery cover.
