Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective use of your Tripp Lite P006-006 Standard Computer Power Cord. This 6-foot AC power cable is designed to replace or upgrade the power cord for most computers, monitors, printers, and other peripherals that utilize a removable power cord with compatible connectors. It features a NEMA 5-15P plug for connection to a standard AC wall outlet and an IEC-320-C13 receptacle for connection to your device.

Setup and Connection
Follow these steps to properly connect your Tripp Lite P006-006 power cord:
- Identify Connectors: Locate the NEMA 5-15P plug (standard 3-prong AC wall plug) and the IEC-320-C13 receptacle (3-pin connector for devices).
- Connect to Device: Insert the IEC-320-C13 receptacle end of the power cord firmly into the corresponding power input port on your computer, monitor, printer, or other compatible electronic device. Ensure a secure connection.
- Connect to Power Source: Insert the NEMA 5-15P plug end of the power cord firmly into a standard, grounded 120V AC wall outlet or a surge protector.
- Verify Connection: Ensure both ends of the power cord are fully seated and secure before powering on your device.

Operation
Once the power cord is securely connected to both the device and a power source, the connected device can be powered on according to its own operating instructions. The Tripp Lite P006-006 power cord facilitates the transfer of electrical power to the device.
Maintenance and Care
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord for any signs of damage, such as cuts, fraying, or bent prongs. Do not use a damaged cord.
- Cleaning: If necessary, gently wipe the cord with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners directly on the cord or connectors.
- Storage: When not in use, store the power cord in a cool, dry place, avoiding tight coiling or kinking which can damage the internal wires.
- Handling: Always grasp the plug or receptacle when connecting or disconnecting the cord, rather than pulling on the cable itself.
Troubleshooting
If your device is not receiving power after connecting the Tripp Lite P006-006 power cord, consider the following:
- Check Connections: Ensure both the NEMA 5-15P plug and the IEC-320-C13 receptacle are fully and securely inserted into their respective ports.
- Verify Power Source: Confirm that the wall outlet or surge protector is active and supplying power. Test with another known working device if possible.
- Inspect Cord for Damage: Look for any visible damage to the power cord. A damaged cord should be replaced immediately.
- Test with Another Cord: If available, try using a different, known working power cord to rule out an issue with the device itself.
