GreenPower
HDP 900G PowerCenter.
Today’s high definition components use
digital microprocessors to deliver incredible
picture and sound. But this delicate digital circuitry is
vulnerable to even small variations in power. The HDP
900G features advanced surge protection and power
filtering to protect your home theater equipment, plus
GreenPower switched outlets to save money and energy.
The HDP 900G features GreenPower switched outlets that
automatically shut off when you’re not usingthe 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 connections on coax,
phone and network lines for complete protection of all connected equipment.
Patented Monster HD Clean Power
®
is specifically engineered 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 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 GreenPower.
Save Energy, Save Money
and Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
Monster GreenPower
is a revolutionary new way to
automatically eliminate energy waste and save money.
Simply plug your HDTV or AV receiver into the Monster
GreenPower Control outlet. When it’s turned off or
goes to sleep, the Monster GreenPower outlets switch
off, automatically eliminating energy wasted by your,
subwoofer, DVD player, and more, when you’re not using
them. When your HDTV or AV receiver switches back on,
the GreenPower outlets automatically power up again.
Advanced Monster Dual Mode Plus
for Enhanced Surge 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.
Patented HD Clean Power
®
Removes Noise and Interference
to Protect Your AV Equipment and Maximize Performance
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 HDP 900G features HD Clean Power filtering that is precision-engineered to
remove electrical noise and interference. This protects the delicate 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and observe the following safety points at all times.
WARNING – Power Sources
Do not plug this PowerCenter™ into a power outlet that differs from the source indicated for safe use on the PowerCenter. 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 PowerCenter 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 PowerCenter, be sure the wire(s) is properly grounded. This protects against voltage surges and static charges.
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 PowerCenter® if liquid of any kind is spilled onto or inside the unit.
B. Do not operate your Monster PowerCenter near rain or water that’s spilled or contained (e.g., bathtub, kitchen sink).
WARNING – Power Cord Safety
A. When routing your PowerCenter’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 PowerCenter immediately. See the Warranty Information section of this owner’s manual
for important details.
WARNING – Storm Precautions
In the event of a lightning storm, it’s always a good idea to disconnect your Monster PowerCenter from the power outlet; there is no need to disconnect your separate AV components. Make sure that ALL of your AV components and PC products are protected with Monster Power.
WARNING – No User Serviceable Parts Inside
If, for any reason, your PowerCenter 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 PowerCenter 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 PowerCenter is a light dusting. Unplug your component from the wall outlet before cleaning it. Do not use any type of liquid or aerosol cleaners.
