Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to properly set up your GreenSurge Protector:
- Unpack: Carefully remove the surge protector from its packaging.
- Placement: Choose a dry indoor location near the electronic devices you wish to protect. Ensure the location allows for proper ventilation and avoids obstruction of the outlets.
- Plug In: Insert the surge protector's plug firmly into a standard 240V wall outlet.
- Indicator Lights: Observe the indicator lights on the top of the unit.
- Protected (Green): Illuminates when the surge protection is active and functioning correctly.
- Grounded (Green): Illuminates when the surge protector is properly grounded.
- Power Save On (Blue): Illuminates when the power save feature is active.
- Connect Devices: Plug your electronic devices into the appropriate outlets. Refer to the diagram below for outlet types.

Operating Instructions
The GreenSurge Protector is designed for ease of use and energy efficiency:
- Master Outlet: This outlet controls the power to the "Power Save" outlets. Plug your primary device (e.g., TV, computer) into the MASTER outlet.
- Power Save Outlets: These two outlets are controlled by the Master outlet. When the device plugged into the Master outlet is turned off or enters a low-power state, power to the "Power Save" outlets will be cut, reducing standby power consumption. Plug peripheral devices (e.g., speakers, printer, monitor) into the POWER SAVE outlets.
- Always On Outlet: This outlet provides continuous power, regardless of the state of the Master outlet. Use this for devices that require constant power, such as a cable box, router, or phone charger.
- Energy Saving: The smart outlet feature can help save up to an average of $23 per year on your electric bill by eliminating phantom load from connected devices.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your surge protector:
- Cleaning: Disconnect the surge protector from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the surge protector and its cord for any signs of damage, such as frayed wires or cracked casing. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately.
- Surge Protection Status: The Protected indicator light should always be illuminated when the unit is plugged in and functioning correctly. If this light goes out, it indicates that the surge protection has been compromised (e.g., due to a significant power surge) and the unit may no longer provide surge protection. In such a case, the safety shutdown technology will turn off power to connected equipment. The unit should be replaced.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your GreenSurge Protector, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No indicator lights are on. | The surge protector is not receiving power. | Ensure the surge protector is firmly plugged into a working wall outlet. Check the wall outlet with another device. |
| "Protected" light is off. | Surge protection has been compromised. | The unit has absorbed a significant surge and can no longer provide protection. Replace the surge protector. |
| Devices plugged into "Power Save" outlets do not turn on/off with the Master device. | Master device is not drawing enough power or is not properly configured. | Ensure the Master device is fully powered off (not just in standby) to trigger the power-saving feature. Verify the Master device is plugged into the correct Master outlet. |
| "Grounded" light is off. | Improper grounding of the wall outlet. | Consult a qualified electrician to inspect your wall outlet's grounding. Do not use the surge protector if the "Grounded" light is off. |
