what you need to do is break the little tab that is between the white plugs. Look on the side and you will see a small tab grab it with some plyers and rock it back and forth util it breaks off. Do it for both sides then you will have two different outlets or plugs.

I have to agree here. I assume you want the outlets to operate independent of each other. The tabs on the sides that connect the 2 screw terminals together have to be removed. What these do, is make it easier to wire under normal conditions, you only need 2 wires and a ground. If you want seperate outlets, IE: if you want to have an outlet on all the time and one have that turns on and off with a light switch, then the tab has to be removed.

Just break the tabs off at the wire screws both outlets will be independent of each other. Channel 1 works 1 and channel 2 will work 2.
