Operating Instructions
Once the surge protector is plugged in and the "Protected" indicator light is on, you can begin connecting your electronic devices.
Connecting Devices:
Plug your devices into any of the six available grounded outlets. Ensure that the total power draw of all connected devices does not exceed the surge protector's maximum electrical rating (120V, 15A, 1800W).

Twist-to-Close Safety Covers:
Each outlet features a twist-to-close safety cover. When an outlet is not in use, twist the cover to close it. This helps prevent dust and foreign objects from entering the outlet and reduces the risk of electrical hazards, especially for households with children.
