A Note From The Head Monster
THANK YOU for purchasing the Monster GreenPower™ HT 800G PowerCenter.™ The HT 800G features advanced surge protection to protect your home theater equipment, plus GreenPower outlets to stop standby mode energy waste.
For an added layer of protection, the PowerCenter’s internal components are designed to reduce the risk of fire that can damage not only your equipment, but your home as well. Unlike plastic-coated MOVs that are in most surge protectors, the HT 800G features fireproof, ceramic-encased MOVs.
The HT 800G includes GreenPower switched outlets that automatically shut off when you’re not using the equipment connected to them. This stops energy waste caused by flatscreen TVs, DVD/Blu-ray Disc™ players, subwoofers and other components in stand-by mode.
Exclusive Dual Mode Plus™ automatic disconnect protection circuitry protects against even the most powerful surges. There are also surge-protected coax connections to protect against dangerous power conditions on cable, satellite, and antenna lines.
ENGLISH
Because electrical interference can affect performance of your home theater components, patented Monster Clean Power® is specifically engineered to virtually stop the electromagnetic and radio frequency noise that goes right through typical surge protectors. This advanced technology reduces stress on delicate digital circuitry, maximizing the lifespan of connected equipment and delivering better picture and sound.
These days, AV components are better than ever, providing thrilling surround sound and razor sharp HD picture. With Monster Power, you’ll have peace
of mind knowing your home theater – and your home – is protected and that you’re getting all the performance you paid for.

ENGLISH
Save Energy. Save the Earth.
Monster GreenPower™ is a revolutionary new way to automatically eliminate energy waste and save money. Simply plug your HDTV or AV receiver into the PowerCenter’s Control outlet. When it’s turned
off or goes to sleep, the Monster GreenPower outlets switch off, automatically eliminating stand-by energy waste by your subwoofer, DVD player, and more. When your HDTV or AV receiver switches back on, the GreenPower outlets automatically power up again.
Patented Clean Power® Removes Electrical Interference for Better Picture and Sound
Your home’s electricity is full of noise and interference caused by all of your appliances and
®electronics: mobile phones, computers, even your lights, all contribute to the problem. This “dirty
power” can degrade video performance resulting in “snow”, vertical lines, and pixelation on your screen. Your audio output could be affected by hissing and popping.
However, ordinary surge protectors can’t remove the effects of dirty power. The HT 800 features Clean Power filtering that is precision-engineered to eliminate interference to ensure the best possible picture and sound performance.
ENGLISH
“Small surges can occur several times a day or a hundred times an hour ranging from several thousand volts to under 100 volts…A single, powerful surge literally melts, welds, pits and burns its way through solid state circuits.”
- PG&E, One of the Largest
Power Utilities in the U.S.
Advanced Monster Dual Mode Plus™
for Enhanced Power Protection and Safety
For added protection against more powerful surges and spikes, advanced Monster Dual Mode Plus™ circuitry automatically disconnects your AV
equipment from the live power line to isolate your equipment from dangerous AC power conditions. Dual Mode Plus also sounds an alarm to alert you that your PowerCenter has protected your electronics.
ENGLISH
Fireproof MOV Technology
Protects Your Equipment and Your Home
Power surges can harm not only your valuable home theater equipment but can also start a fire in your home – even if you’re using a surge protector.
Ordinary surge protectors use plastic-coated MOVs – metal oxide varistors – to absorb excess voltage. But powerful surges can overheat and melt the plastic coating, potentially causing a fire.
This Monster PowerCenter features ceramic-encased MOVs for superior fire protection. The ceramic enclosure is made of the same fireproof material used on the space shuttle to give you peace of mind that your home theater and, more importantly, your home is safe.

HOOk uP GuIDE
Attach a Monster Power® identification label to each component’s power cord before you plug it into the appropriate color-coded PowerCenter™ outlet.
Plug each component’s power cord (HDTV, AV receiver, Cable/Satellite box, etc.) into the PowerCenter’s corresponding outlet.
NOTE: The outlets on your PowerCenter are labeled for your convenience. It will not harm your equipment to plug into an outlet that’s labeled differently.
Connecting To Monster GreenPower™ Outlets
Please read these instructions before connecting any equipment to the PowerCenter:
ATTENTION:
1.You must connect an electronic device that draws sufficient power in operational mode to activate GreenPower switched outlets. If you do not, the GreenPower switched outlets will not deliver power to connected equipment.
2.Some components can take up to 10 minutes to switch to stand-by or sleep mode. If the Monster GreenPower™ switched outlets on your PowerCenter do not turn off immediately, please wait approximately 10 minutes to allow the component plugged into GreenPower Control outlet to switch to stand-by mode. Once this component is in stand-by mode, the GreenPower switched outlets will turn off, eliminating energy waste by that component.
ENGLISH
wARNING: Important data and settings stored on hard drives (recorded TV shows, game saves, etc.) may be corrupted or deleted if power is turned off while the hard drive is being read from or written to.
If you hook up a hard drive-based device such as a TiVo,® DVR or video game console to a “GREENPOWER CONTROLLED” switched outlet, make sure the device is NOT being read from or written to when you turn off the equipment connected to the “GREENPOWER CONTROL” outlet.
To ensure against the possibility of data loss or corruption, you should connect hard drive-based devices to unswitched outlets or disable GreenPower using the switch located on the end of the PowerCenter.
Monster assumes no responsibility for data loss, corruption or damage to hard drive-based devices connected to PowerCenters with GreenPower automatic outlet switching.
