user instructions
1. How long does Savasocket
take to programme? About 30
seconds and then you can connect
all the required items.
2. Do I need a special remote
control to use Savasocket? No,
you can use any home infra red
remote to programme Savasocket.
3. I am having problems getting
the Savasocket to learn my
remote control button. When
programming the Savasocket
make sure you are away from
bright lights and direct sunlight as
they can emit infra red signals that
may confuse the programming.
If you are still having problems,
try changing the batteries in your
remote control unit.
4. How far away can I be from
the Savasocket and still use my
remote control? This depends
on the model and how good the
batteries are, but generally up to
10m would be ok.
5. Can I add an extension lead
to one of the four sockets
controlled by my remote? Yes,
you can add an extension lead to
give you more sockets.
6. Can I connect my audio
system to Savasocket? Yes, you
can save money by also turning off
an audio system.
7. Can Savasocket be used to
connect my children’s games
console? Yes, the more items
you connect that can be left on
standby, the more money you
will save.
8. Does a Savasocket use
much energy in standby? No,
unlike some other products in
the market, Savasocket saves
far more energy than it uses. The
Energy Saving Trust’s standard is
1 watt; Savasocket only uses 0.19
of a watt.
9. What is Standby? Most TVs,
videos, DVD/Blue ray, Freeview
boxes and Audio systems have
standby. It is the power used by
electronic devices that are turned
on, but not running.
10. When I turn off my
connected appliances, does
Savasocket perform a soft shut
down to save wear and tear?
Yes, Savasocket has a soft shut
down feature built-in to extend the
life of all connected items.
11. I’ve heard that leaving
electrical appliances such as
TVs, CD players, monitors etc on
standby uses very little energy
and means the warm up time
is reduced - is this true? No, in
general appliances such as TVs
and CD players use more electricity
in standby mode than their owners
realise. A TVs standby generally
uses 3-7W, compared with around
140W when switched on, but over
the course of the year, this can
really add up. The average house
can save £37* a year by turning
things off rather than leaving
them on standby. Most modern
appliances do not need a warm
up time. One exception to this is
‘complex’ digital set-top boxes,
which need to be left in standby to
keep their settings. Nearly all other
appliances can be turned off fully
with no problems.

It is essential before programming
your Savasocket that you ensure
you are away from both bright
lights and direct sunlight. They can
emit infra red signals which could
interfere with the programming.
Plug the Savasocket into any
mains supply and an amber
light appears on the Savasocket
button to indicate the power
is on.
Press the amber button on the
front of the Savasocket once and
the light glows Green to indicate
Savasocket is active.
Press and hold this button for
5 seconds and the Savasocket
will bleep. At the same time a
red light will appear, indicating
Savasocket is now in learning
mode and ready to receive a
signal from your remote control.
NOTE: It is essential before
programming your Savasocket
that you ensure you are away
from both bright lights and direct
sunlight.
We suggest you use the
TV standby button on your
remote control to program the
Savasocket.
Now point the remote control at
the infra red eye. Press and hold
the standby button until you hear
a confirmation beep and repeat
this process 9 times.
When you have completed
the above, the light on the
Savasocket will change from red
to amber and the Savasocket
will beep three times to confirm it
has been programmed.
You can now plug into your
Savasocket any of the items you
want to turn on and off with your
remote control, such as your TV,
DVD player etc.
The items plugged into the
bank of four sockets will now
be controlled by your remote
control. It is therefore important
to carefully choose which
appliances are plugged into the
four socket side.
You can plug your Sky+ / Sky
HD / Freeview / Video Recorder
into one of the ‘ALWAYS ON’
sockets. These sockets should
be used only for appliances you
require to be ‘always on’
Now put the Savasocket behind
your TV etc, and place the infra
red eye in front so that when you
point your remote control at the
infra red eye it can receive the
signal. You can now switch on
and off the Savasocket using
your infra red remote.
From now on, your television and
anything plugged into the bank
of 4 sockets will automatically
power down when you press the
standby button you have chosen.
If you change your remote
control unit, simply repeat
the above procedure to reprogramme the Savasocket.
Don’t worry about going away
on holiday. Savasocket will
remember your programmed
button.
