Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the power strip from its packaging.
2. Placement: Position the power strip in a dry indoor location, away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Ensure the 6-foot cord can reach a wall outlet without being stretched or obstructed.
3. Mounting (Optional): If desired, use the keyhole mounting tabs on the back of the power strip to secure it to a wall or desk surface using appropriate screws (not included).
4. Plug In: Insert the power strip's right-angle flat plug into a standard 3-prong, 125V AC grounded wall outlet.
5. Connect Devices: Plug your electronic devices into the 6 AC outlets on the power strip. Ensure the total power consumption of all connected devices does not exceed 1875W.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off: Press the red lighted power switch to turn the power strip on or off. When the switch is illuminated, power is supplied to the outlets.
2. Surge Protection: The power strip provides basic surge protection. In the event of a power surge, the internal components are designed to absorb excess voltage to protect connected devices.
3. Overload Protection: The integrated 15-Amp circuit breaker will automatically trip (turn off) if the total current draw from connected devices exceeds 15 Amps (1875 Watts). This prevents overheating and potential damage.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Disconnect the power strip from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Cord Management: Use the included detachable Velcro strap to keep the power cord neatly organized when not in full extension.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the power strip and its cord for any signs of damage, such as frayed wires or cracked casing. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately.

Troubleshooting

• No Power to Outlets:
  • Check if the power strip's lighted switch is ON.
  • Ensure the power strip is securely plugged into a working wall outlet.
  • If the switch is OFF and won't turn ON, the integrated 15-Amp circuit breaker may have tripped due to an overload. Unplug some devices, then press the switch to reset it.
  • Check your home's circuit breaker panel to ensure the wall outlet's circuit has not tripped.
• Device Not Charging/Working:
  • Ensure the device is properly plugged into the power strip.
  • Test the device by plugging it directly into a known working wall outlet.
  • Verify the device's power cord is not damaged.
