A NOTE FROM THE HEAD MONSTER
THANK YOU for purchasing the Monster Power® GreenPower System HTS 1900G.
This PowerCenter is designed to save energy costs by eliminating stand-by mode power
consumption. It also provides advanced power protection to keep your valuable home theater
equipment safe from dangerous power conditions, and features power filters specially tuned
for high definition AV components.
To address growing concerns about the waste and cost of stand-by or sleep mode energy use, the
1900G features Monster GreenPower™ RF controlled outlets. These outlets automatically shut off to
eliminate the drain of "vampire" power. GreenPower outlets substantially reduce energy wasted by
HDTVs, DVD/Blu-ray™ Disc players, subwoofers, and other components in stand-by mode.
The GreenPower outlets are controlled by the included HT 300RF wall tap. This revolutionary new
system works with the HTS 1900G to reduce energy consumption without compromising your
home theater experience. Simply plug the HT 300RF into AC wall outlet closest to your HDTV and
plug your TV into it. When you turn your HDTV off, the 300RF sends a signal to your PowerCenter
to switch off the GreenPower outlets – when you turn your HDTV back on, the PowerCenter
receives a signal to turn on the GreenPower outlets. You get all the convenience and energy
savings of GreenPower and the added benefit of being able to place your HDTV in the optimum
viewing location, instead of being limited by the length of your HDTV's power cord.
Other Monster Power breakthroughs include exclusive T2™ automatic disconnect protection
circuitry and patented Tri-Mode™ protection featuring an audible alarm. Tri-Mode automatically
disconnects equipment from both live power lines (line and neutral) and sounds an alarm.

ENGLISH
Microprocessor-controlled T2 takes protection a step further. T2 works with Tri-Mode circuitry to automatically
disconnect both the PowerCenter itself and your equipment from both live power lines (line and neutral) when
a dangerous surge or spike hits.
Patented Monster HD Clean Power™ is specifically designed for today's high definition home theater components.
Its filters are precision-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 improved performance.
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 investment is protected and that you're
getting all the performance you paid for, while saving money and energy with Monster GreenPower.

MONSTER GREENPOWER™ RF CONTROLLED OUTLETS
REDUCE STAND-BY MODE ENERGY WASTE
Monster GreenPower automatically switches off outlets to stop energy consumption when your equipment is in stand-by
or sleep mode. Four outlets on this PowerCenter are controlled by radio frequency emitted by the included HT 300RF wall
tap. Simply plug the HT 300RF wall tap into a wall outlet and plug your HDTV into the wall tap. When you turn your TV off,
the HT 300RF sends a signal to the PowerCenter to switch off the GreenPower outlets, stopping stand-by energy your
AV receiver, DVD/Blu-ray disc™ player, and other equipment plugged into the GreenPower outlets.

PATENTED MONSTER CLEAN POWER® FILTERING
Your home’s electricity is full of noise and interference caused by all of your appliances and electronics: cell phones,
computers, even your lights, all contribute to the problem. This “dirty power” stresses the delicate digital circuitry inside
HDTVs and other home theater equipment, reducing their performance and potentially shortening their lives.
However, ordinary surge protectors can’t remove the effects of dirty power. The HTS 1900G features HD Clean Power
filtering that is precision-engineered to remove electrical noise and interference. This protects the delicate digital
circuitry inside your HDTV and other electronics from unnecessary wear. HD Clean Power maximizes your equipment’s
lifespan and ensures the best possible picture and sound performance.

PATENTED MONSTER T2™ TECHNOLOGY
The Monster HTS 1900G features exclusive Monster T2™ technology. T2 is an active electronic microprocessor-controlled
circuit that sits in front of the surge protection circuitry in select Monster Power products. T2 monitors the line, neutral
and ground lines and automatically disconnects the PowerCenter from the AC power line when a long duration
low-voltage sag or high-voltage swell occurs (continuous voltage below 80Vrms or above 132Vrms).
When the voltage sags or swells to these potentially damaging levels, ultra-fast T2 auto-disconnect protection circuitry
shuts down the Monster PowerCenter for 15 seconds. When the under-voltage or over-voltage condition returns to
normal, T2 reconnects the PowerCenter to the electricity and resets to full operation after 15 seconds. If the power fault
condition does not clear, the T2 comparator circuit keeps the unit shut down.
Unlike ordinary power management devices, T2 will shut down your PowerCenter before the MOVs (Metal Oxide Varistors)
and thermal fuses sense an overload condition and sacrifice themselves to protect your connected components.
This will extend the PowerCenter’s life, while providing the system protection you need.

ENGLISH
ADVANCED TRI-MODE® SURGE PROTECTION
For added protection against more powerful overloads, patented Monster Tri-Mode® automatically disconnects your
equipment and sounds an alarm.
Tri-Mode protects against surges and spikes on all three power lines (line, neutral, and ground) for a triple layer of safety.
Only Tri-Mode offers this level of protection.
™
6
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.
