2. Setup

To install your Philips 6-Outlet Extender Surge Protector:

1. Ensure the wall outlet is easily accessible and not obstructed.
2. Align the three prongs of the surge protector with the corresponding slots in a standard grounded duplex wall outlet.
3. Gently push the surge protector firmly into the wall outlet until it is flush with the wall plate. The stabilizing pin on the back of the unit will insert into the ground hole of the unused outlet for added stability.
4. Once properly installed, the blue "PROTECTED" LED indicator light on the top of the unit should illuminate, confirming that surge protection is active.

3. Operating Instructions

After successful installation, the surge protector is ready for use.

• Connecting Devices: Plug your electronic devices directly into any of the six available grounded outlets on the surge protector.
• Protection Indicator: The blue "PROTECTED" LED indicator light signifies that the surge protection feature is active and functioning. If this light is off, the surge protector has absorbed a surge and can no longer provide protection. In this event, the unit should be replaced.
• Electrical Ratings: Each unit is rated for 125VAC, 15A, and 1875W. Do not exceed these ratings to prevent overloading and potential damage to the unit or connected devices.

4. Maintenance

The Philips 6-Outlet Extender Surge Protector requires minimal maintenance.

• Cleaning: Disconnect the surge protector from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the unit for any signs of damage, such as cracks in the casing or loose prongs. If any damage is observed, discontinue use and replace the unit.
• Protection Indicator Check: Regularly check the "PROTECTED" LED indicator light to ensure it is illuminated. If the light is off, the surge protection is no longer active, and the unit should be replaced.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside this surge protector. Do not attempt to open or repair the unit.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your surge protector, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power to Devices:
  • Ensure the surge protector is fully and securely plugged into a functioning wall outlet.
  • Verify that the devices are correctly plugged into the surge protector.
  • Check the circuit breaker in your home's electrical panel. If it has tripped, reset it.
• "PROTECTED" LED Indicator is Off:
  • If the blue "PROTECTED" LED indicator light is off, it means the surge protection components have been compromised, likely due to a power surge. The unit will still function as an outlet extender but will no longer provide surge protection. For continued protection, the unit must be replaced.
• Overheating:
  • If the surge protector feels unusually warm, immediately unplug all connected devices and remove the unit from the wall outlet. Ensure the total wattage of connected devices does not exceed the unit's maximum rating of 1875W.

If problems persist after following these steps, contact customer support.
