Safety instructions

Before installing or commissioning the device, please also be sure to read the complete user manual to ensure proper use and to comply with the warranty conditions.
Keep the user manual in a safe place throughout the entire service life of the device.
The device may only be connected to an easily accessible power socket. The device must be removed from the socket in the event of a hazard.
For safety and approval reasons (CE/UKCA), the device may not be modified and/or no changes may be made to the device without authorisation.
We accept no liability for material damage or personal injury which is caused by improper use or by not observing the safety instructions. In these cases, any guarantee claim becomes void! We accept no liability for consequential damage.
Do not use the device if it has damage visible from the outside, for example, to the housing, control elements or connection sockets, or if it has a malfunction. If in doubt, please contact our service team.
Only operate the device indoors and do not expose it to moisture, vibrations, constant sunlight or other sources of heat, extreme cold temperatures and mechanical stress.
Do not open up the device. It does not contain any parts to be maintained by the user. If a fault occurs, have the device checked by a specialist.
The device is not a toy! Do not allow children to play with it. Never leave the packaging material lying around unattended. Plastic film and small parts may pose a danger to children.
This device may be used by children from 8 years of age and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, or a lack of experience and knowledge provided these persons are supervised or have been instructed in the safe use of the device, and understand the corresponding risks.
When remotely or automatically controlling a device, it is not always possible to guarantee that commands are actually executed or that the correct device status is displayed in the app and on other Smart Home display devices because of external circumstances. This may lead to material damage and/or personal injury. Therefore, you must ensure to the greatest extent possible that no person is endangered at the time of remote operation or automated control. Please take special care when setting up or adjusting the remote control or when using the automated control and check the desired functionality at regular intervals.
Only use the device together with original components and recommended products from Bosch partners.

Notes

The range within buildings can deviate greatly from the range in open spaces. In addition to the transmitting power and the receiving properties of the receiver, environmental factors such as humidity, as well as the local structural situation, play an important role.
The device is only suitable for use in residential environments.
The device is only intended for private use.

Mounting instructions

The standards and directives applicable in your country must be observed during planning, set-up, operation and maintenance.
Please also note any additional information on the product.
Always lay the cables of connected devices in such a way that they cannot pose a hazard to people or pets.
Observe the technical data, in particular the maximum permissible switching power of the relay and the type of consumer to be connected, before connecting a consumer. All load information relates to ohmic loads. The device should only be loaded to the specified power limit. Overloading may result in destruction of the device, fire or an electrical accident. Among other things, reliable switching off of the connected consumer cannot be guaranteed.
Devices with electronic power supplies (e.g. televisions or high voltage LED lights) do not constitute an ohmic load. They may generate start-up currents of more than 100 A. Switching such consumers results in pre-mature wear on the integrated relay. As a result, it is possible that the connected consumer may not be reliably switched off.
Do not connect devices which can cause fires or other damage if switched on unsupervised (e.g. irons).
Always unplug the device from the smart plug before making changes to the device.
Do not use the device in socket strips or with extension cables.
Do not use the device for disconnection. The load is not electrically isolated from the mains.
Do not plug smart plugs into one another.
The device is only de-energised when it is removed from the socket!

Mounting procedure
Insert the smart plug into the socket. The smart plug is now ready for use. You can now insert your desired electrical appliance.

Resetting to factory settings
You can reset the device to its factory settings as follows:

Remove the smart plug from the socket. While plugging into the socket, press and hold the system button (1) until the LED flashes orange quick-ly. Then release the button briefly and press it again until the LED on the front lights green. The device then restarts. Please note that it can take a few seconds until the smart plug is ready for operation again.

When resetting to factory settings, the settings and information are only lost from the device and not from the Bosch Smart Home controller.
To re-configure the device, first delete it in the device management section of the Bosch Smart Home app and then add it again in the usual pairing process.

Maintenance and cleaning

The device does not require maintenance.
Leave any repairs to a specialist.
Clean the device with a soft, clean, dry and lint-free cloth.
When cleaning, do not use any cleaning agents containing solvents.

Simplified declaration of conformity

Environmental protection and disposal

This symbol means that this product must be disposed of separately from general household waste. As an end user, you are obligated to dispose of the product via separated waste collection, for instance by passing it to an official collection point, in line with the relevant national regulations.

By collecting waste separately, you are making a valuable contribution to protecting the environment and human health. This is because, by treating old equipment properly, on one hand, the potentially negative effects as-sociated with the presence of hazardous substances are prevented and, on the other hand, raw materials are conserved through their recovery.

Please also note that the avoidance of waste is an even more valuable contribution to environmental protection. Wherever possible, as well as finding a further use for the device yourself or having it repaired, passing the device to a second user is also an ecologically valuable alternative to disposal.

It is also possible to return these to the place you bought the product from, provided the distributor offers a returns service voluntarily or is legally obligated to do so.

Open source software
This Bosch Smart Home product uses open-source software. Licence infor-mation for the components used can be found in the attached documents.
