Setup
Setting up your YISHU Surge Protector is straightforward:
- Unpack: Carefully remove the power strip from its packaging.
- Placement: Choose a dry, indoor location away from heat sources and direct sunlight. The compact 3-side design is ideal for desks, nightstands, or behind furniture.
- Plug In: Insert the flat plug of the power strip's 6-foot extension cord into a standard 3-prong grounded wall outlet. The flat plug allows for a low-profile connection, making it suitable for tight spaces.
- Wall Mounting (Optional): For a more permanent setup, utilize the two mounting holes on the back of the power strip.
- Measure the distance between the two keyhole slots on the back of the power strip.
- Mark two corresponding spots on your desired mounting surface (wall or desk).
- Install two screws (not included) into the marked spots, leaving a small portion of the screw head exposed.
- Align the keyhole slots on the back of the power strip with the screw heads and slide the power strip down to secure it.

Operating Instructions
Using your YISHU Surge Protector is simple:
- Power On/Off: Locate the red power switch on the side of the power strip. Press it to the "ON" position to supply power to the outlets and USB ports. Press it to the "OFF" position to cut power.
- Connect AC Devices: Plug your electronic devices into any of the 8 widely spaced AC outlets. The wide spacing ensures that even large power adapters can be used simultaneously without obstruction.
- Charge USB Devices: Connect your smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, or other USB-powered devices to the 3 USB-A ports or the 1 USB-C port. The smart USB technology automatically detects and delivers the optimal charging current for your devices.
- Surge Protection Indicator: A small blue LED light labeled "Protected" on the top surface of the power strip indicates that the surge protection function is active and your devices are protected. If this light is off, the surge protection may have been compromised, and the unit should be replaced.
- Overload Protection: The power strip is equipped with an overload protection switch. In case of an overload (when connected devices draw too much power), the switch will automatically trip to protect your devices and the power strip. If this happens, unplug some devices, then press the red switch to reset it.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your power strip:
- Cleaning: Disconnect the power strip from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosols.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the power cord and the power strip for any signs of damage, such as frayed wires, cracks, or loose connections. If damage is found, discontinue use immediately and contact customer support.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the power strip in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your YISHU Surge Protector, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to outlets/USB ports. | Power switch is OFF, power strip is unplugged, or circuit breaker tripped. | Ensure power switch is ON. Check if the power strip is securely plugged into the wall outlet. Reset the overload protection switch if it has tripped. Check your home's circuit breaker. |
| USB ports not charging devices. | Device not compatible, faulty USB cable, or total USB current exceeded. | Try a different USB cable. Ensure your device is compatible with USB charging. Reduce the number of devices charging simultaneously if the total USB current (4.2A) is exceeded. |
| "Protected" indicator light is off. | Surge protection has been compromised due to a significant power surge. | The power strip may no longer provide surge protection. While the outlets may still function, it is recommended to replace the unit for continued surge protection. |
