HOME THEATER SURGE PROTECTOR JP 800G
Instructions and
Warranty Information
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 surge protector’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.
“Your electronics - computer, TV, VCR, even your phone chargers – use energy even when they’re turned off. Stand-by power can account for as much as 20% of home energy use.”
– U.S. Department of Energy
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 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.
