Features

ON/OFF Control—Controls power to all outlets. The switch is also a 15A breaker. When a

power surge occurs, this control instantly turns o the Power Manager, protecting devices
that are connected to it. When the surge is no longer present, press ON to resume normal
operations.

LED indicators—When both LEDs are lit, that your Power Manager is operating normally,
with full surge protection.

• If the Protected LED is NOT lit, it may mean that the surge protector function has reached
full capacity, and the unit can no longer provide surge protection. Your Power Manager
may need to be replaced.

• If the Grounded LED is NOT lit, it means that your Power Manager is plugged into a
non-grounded outlet and that you should use another outlet for full surge protection.

Master outlet—This AC Adapter-spaced outlet controls the 6 Master-controlled outlets.
When a device plugged into this outlet shuts down or enters sleep mode, power to the
master-controlled outlets is automatically shut o.

Master-controlled outlets—Devices (monitor, speakers, etc.) plugged into these outlets
automatically shut down when the device plugged into the Master Outlet shuts down.

Always-on outlets—These outlets stay on as long as the entire Power Manager is switched
on. They are not controlled by the Master outlet.

Energy Saver On/O Switch—When switched to “o”, the energy-saving feature will be
disabled, and all outlets will be enabled regardless of the state of the master device.

Using your Master and Master controlled outlets

1 (Computers only) Enable the standby mode in your computer’s power management

settings.

• For Windows, open the Control Panel, select Power Options (may be located under
”Systems and Security” within the Control Panel), then select a system standby time
under Settings for Power Schemes.

• For Macs, open System Preferences and select Energy Saver.

2 Power down your primary device safely, then plug your primary device (such as your

computer or your TV) into the Master outlet.

3 Plug your secondary devices into the Master-controlled outlets.

• For computers, this may include your monitor, speakers, external hard drives, etc.

• For TVs, this may include your DVD player, amplifier, powered sub-woofer, etc.

4 Test your configuration by turning on all your primary and secondary devices, then shut

down the primary device properly. If the secondary devices all turn o (1-2 seconds) when
you turn o the primary device, your Power Manager is working as it should.

5 Whenever your primary device goes into standby mode, power is shut o to peripherals

plugged into the Master-controlled outlets. When the computer “awakens”, the surge
protector immediately supplies power to these peripherals.

Note: Only connect devices to the Master-controlled outlets that are used when the master device (e.g.
computer) is operating.

Note: Some computers continue to consume more than 10W of power in standby mode. If this is the
case, the Master outlet may not recognize the standby mode, and the Master-controlled outlets will not
shut o. If this occurs, make sure Hibernate/Sleep mode is also enabled on your computer under power
management settings, or check with your computer’s manufacturer.

Note: Many laptop computers consume more than 10W of power while the battery is charging. In this
case, the master-controlled outlets will not turn o until the laptop battery is fully charged and power
consumption is reduced.

bottom outlets.

3 Make sure that the Power Manager switch and

connected devices are turned on.

1 Make sure that all power cords are connected

correctly.
