5. Operating Instructions

The Oviitech Single Surge Protector Plug operates automatically once connected to a grounded outlet. The primary function is to continuously monitor the incoming power and divert excess voltage away from your connected device during a power surge.

Indicator Light:

• A blue LED light indicates that the surge protector is properly grounded and actively protecting your connected device.
• If the blue LED light is off, it means the surge protection is no longer active. This could be due to an ungrounded outlet, a faulty surge protector, or the surge protection components have been consumed by a significant surge. In this case, discontinue use and replace the unit.

6. Maintenance

The Oviitech Single Surge Protector Plug requires minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines:

• Keep the unit clean by wiping it with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
• Regularly check the indicator light to ensure active protection.
• Ensure the plug remains firmly seated in the wall outlet.
• If the unit shows any signs of damage or malfunction, discontinue use immediately.

7. Troubleshooting

Problem: The indicator light is off.

• Possible Cause 1: The wall outlet is not grounded.
• Solution: Test the outlet with another grounded device or a circuit tester. If the outlet is not grounded, consult a qualified electrician.
• Possible Cause 2: The surge protection components have been consumed.
• Solution: Surge protectors have a finite lifespan and can sacrifice themselves to protect your devices during a significant surge. If the light is off, the unit is no longer providing surge protection and should be replaced.
• Possible Cause 3: The surge protector is faulty.
• Solution: If the outlet is confirmed to be grounded and there have been no recent power surges, the unit itself may be defective. Replace the unit.

Problem: Device plugged into the surge protector is not receiving power.

• Possible Cause: The surge protector is not receiving power from the wall outlet, or the surge protection has failed.
• Solution: Check if the wall outlet is functional by plugging in another device directly. If the outlet works, and the surge protector's indicator light is off, replace the surge protector.
