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.
– metal oxide varistors – to absorb excess voltage. But powerful surges can overheat
and melt the plastic coating, potentially causing a fire.
This Monster Surge Protector features ceramic-encased MOVs for superior fire
protection. The ceramic enclosure is made of fireproof material similar to that 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
Connecting To Monster GreenPower™ Outlets
Please read these instructions before connecting any equipment to the surge
protector:
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 surge protector
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 stand-by energy waste by that component.
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.
ENGLISH
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 surge protector.
Monster assumes no responsibility for data loss, corruption or damage to hard
drive-based devices connected to surge protectors with GreenPower automatic
outlet switching.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and observe the following safety points at all times.
WARNING – Power Sources
Do not plug this surge protector into a power outlet that differs from the source
indicated for safe use on the surge protector. If you don’t know the type of electrical
power that is supplied to your home, consult your local power company
or a qualified electrician.
WARNING – Grounding and Polarization
A. Do not force your surge protector plug into an outlet that is not designed to
accept a three-wire grounded-type AC plug (a three -prong plug). This plug is
designed to be inserted into a grounded-type outlet only. If this plug doesn’t
fit directly inside your outlet, do not attempt to force it into the outlet. Never
attempt to dismantle the plug in any way (or to alter the power cord). Do not
attempt to defeat the grounding feature by using a 3-to-2 prong adapter.
If you have questions about grounding, consult your local power company
or a qualified electrician.
B. If you use rooftop devices such as satellite dishes, antennas, or any other
component with wire that connects to your surge protector, be sure the wire(s)
is properly grounded. This protects against voltage surges and static charges.
ENGLISH
C. Do not place any antenna near overhead power lines or any other power circuit.
Do not touch any power line or power circuit. Doing so may cause severe
physical injury or possibly death.
WARNING – Liquid: Avoiding Electrical Shocks
A. Do not operate your Monster® surge protector if liquid of any kind is spilled
onto or inside the unit.
B. Do not operate your Monster surge protector near rain or water that’s spilled
or contained (e.g., bathtub, or kitchen sink).
WARNING – Power Cord Safety
A. When routing your surge protector’s AC power cord, do not place it near heavy
foot traffic areas (e.g., hallways, doorways, and floors). Do not create a trip
hazard with the power cord.
B. If your power cord’s protective jacket begins to rip or fray, exposing the internal
wiring, shielding, etc., disconnect it from the AC power source and discontinue
use of the Monster surge protector immediately. See the Warranty Information
section of this owner’s manual for important details.
ENGLISH
WARNING – No User Serviceable Parts Inside
If, for any reason, your surge protector is not operating properly, do not remove
any part of the unit (cover, etc.) for repair. Unplug the unit and consult the Warranty
Information section of this owner’s manual for important details.
CAUTION – Exposure To Heat
Do not expose your surge protector to direct sunlight or place it near wall heaters,
space heaters, or any enclosed space prone to temperature increase.
CAUTION – Proper Cleaning
In general, the only cleaning necessary for your Monster® surge protector is a light
dusting. Unplug your component from the wall outlet before cleaning it. Do not
use any type of liquid or aerosol cleaners.
