Therefore it is worth checking whether the standby LEDs on our TV set, video or DVD player, satellite unit and hi-fi equipment etc. are on or off. If you are not using the appliance for a while, turn it off using the main on/off button, or if there isn’t one then unplug it.
As these appliances are generally placed close to one another, it is worth connecting them with a multiple socket outlet that has a switch so that you can turn all the appliances off by pressing one button before you go to sleep or leave your home.
