Many electrical products consume power even when turned off. Bye Bye Standby works by completely cutting power to the device plugged into it when not in use, thus saving the power that these devices would otherwise have consumed in standby mode. Bye Bye Standby makes it easy to completely turn off any type of plug-in applicance or electronic device. With Bye Bye Standby you will receive two plug-in socket adapters, and one remote control. Plug any electronic device or appliance into the socket adapters, plug the adapters into an outlet, and you'll then be able to use the remote to turn those items on and off. If you plug a powerstrip into one of the socket adapters you'll be able to control all the items plugged into the powerstrip. The remote can control the adapters individually, or simultaneously, with a range of 90 feet.
