5. Setup

1. Placement: Position the surge protector in a dry, indoor location away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and moisture. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
2. Power Connection: Plug the surge protector's 6 ft heavy-duty power cord into a standard 120V AC grounded wall outlet.
3. Indicator Lights:
   • The "Grounded" indicator light (green) should illuminate, confirming that the wall outlet is properly grounded. If it does not light up, consult a qualified electrician.
   • The "Protected" indicator light (red) should illuminate, indicating that the surge protection circuitry is active and functioning. If this light is off, the surge protection has been compromised, and the unit will no longer protect against surges. Replace the unit immediately.
4. Connecting Devices:
   • Plug your electronic devices into the 12 AC outlets. Utilize the 8 rotating outlets to accommodate large power adapters efficiently.
   • For telephone/fax line protection, connect your incoming telephone line to the "RJ11 IN" port and your telephone/fax machine to the "RJ11 OUT" port.
   • For coaxial line protection, connect your incoming coaxial cable to the "Coaxial IN" port and your device (e.g., TV, cable modem) to the "Coaxial OUT" port.
5. Power On: Press the 2-in-1 power and circuit breaker switch to the "ON" position to supply power to the connected devices.

6. Operating Instructions

Once set up, operating the Rosewill RHSP-13006 is straightforward:

• Powering Devices: Simply plug your devices into the available outlets. The rotating outlets can be adjusted to fit various adapter shapes and sizes, maximizing the use of all 12 outlets.
• Monitoring Protection: Regularly check the "Grounded" and "Protected" indicator lights. If either light is off, the unit may not be providing adequate protection or is not properly grounded.
• Overload Protection: In the event of an overload, the integrated 15-Amp circuit breaker will trip, cutting power to the outlets. To reset, unplug some devices to reduce the load, then press the 2-in-1 power/circuit breaker switch back to the "ON" position.

7. Maintenance

Minimal maintenance is required for your surge protector:

• Keep the unit clean by wiping it with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Ensure the outlets are free from dust and debris, especially the safety shutters.
• Periodically inspect the power cord for any signs of damage, such as fraying or cuts. If damaged, discontinue use and replace the unit.
• Regularly check the "Protected" indicator light. If it is off, the surge protection has expired, and the unit should be replaced to maintain protection for your devices.
