Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to properly install your Belkin Wall Mount Surge Protector:
Connecting to a Wall Outlet
The surge protector features a unique rotating plug for flexible placement, allowing it to fit into tight spaces or behind furniture.
- Locate a standard 3-prong wall outlet.
- Press the button located on the side of the rotating plug.
- Rotate the plug to your desired orientation (vertical, horizontal, or angled).
- Insert the surge protector firmly into the wall outlet.

Operating Your Surge Protector
Power Outlets and USB Ports
This unit provides 3 surge-protected AC outlets and 2 USB ports for charging your devices.
- AC Outlets: Plug your electronic devices into the three AC outlets. These outlets are surge-protected to safeguard your equipment from power spikes.
- USB Ports: The two USB ports (2.1A combined) are intended solely for charging devices such as smartphones and tablets. They do not transmit data and cannot be used as a USB hub.
Protected Indicator Light
A green "Protected" indicator light will illuminate when the surge protector is functioning correctly and your devices are protected.

Maintenance and Safety
To ensure optimal performance and safety, please observe the following guidelines:
- Lifespan: The protective components inside surge protectors will eventually wear out. Most estimates suggest an average lifespan of 3 to 5 years. Replace the unit after this period or immediately after any significant over-voltage spike (e.g., lightning strike, power outage).
- Inspection: Periodically check the surge protector enclosure and cables for signs of wear, heat distress, or damage.
- Overheating: If the surge protector ever becomes hot to the touch, immediately shut off the unit and unplug it from the wall.
- Placement: Never cover the surge protector with carpet, furniture, or anything that would limit air circulation. Avoid moist environments.
- Usage: Do not daisy-chain power strips to other power strips or extension cords. Only one power strip should be plugged into a single two-outlet electrical socket. Avoid running too many high-energy-consuming appliances (e.g., window AC units, space heaters, refrigerators) through a single surge protector simultaneously.
Troubleshooting
No Power to Devices
- Ensure the surge protector is firmly plugged into a functioning wall outlet.
- Check if the "Protected" indicator light is illuminated. If not, the surge protection components may have worn out or been damaged by a power surge. Replace the unit.
- Verify that the devices plugged into the surge protector are functioning correctly when plugged directly into a standard wall outlet.
Overheating
- If the unit feels hot, immediately unplug all devices and the surge protector from the wall. This indicates a potential overload or internal fault. Do not use the unit again.
