To enable the Power Save feature, select the AUTO
setting on the AUTO/Manual switch.

Note: The MANUAL setting will convert all outlets
to “Always On” functionality.

Plug your TV, computer, or other “MASTER” device into
the “MASTER” outlet and plug peripherals (DVD player,
A/V receiver, CD player, printer, etc.) into the “POWER
SAVE” outlets. When the A/V PowerSaver 8 senses the
“MASTER” device is turned off, power to the “POWER
SAVE” devices is automatically shut off, saving electricity
& energy costs!

When the A/V PowerSaver 8 senses the “MASTER”
device is turned off, power to the “POWER SAVE”
devices is automatically shut off, saving electricity &
energy costs!

Note: Connect devices such as VCR, cable box,
satellite receiver (or other devices that need constant
power to retain memory) to the “ALWAYS ON”
outlets.

Wall mounting (Optional)

To mount your A/V PowerSaver 8 on a wall or other
sturdy, vertical surface, place a sheet of paper over the
surge protector’s mounting holes and mark their centers
with a push pin. Next, place this template over the
desired area and mark with the push pins. Install screws
(user supplied) into the marks until ¼ in. (0.5cm.) of the
screw heads are exposed. Mount the surge protector over
the screw heads and slide into place.
