Setup Instructions
- Unpack the Device: Carefully remove the Bototek Surge Protector from its packaging.
- Choose a Location: Select a dry indoor location away from heat sources and moisture. Consider using the integrated mounting holes for wall installation if desired.
- Plug into a Wall Outlet: Insert the 45-degree right-angle flat plug into a standard 3-prong grounded wall outlet. Ensure the plug is fully inserted.
- Power On: Press the red ON/OFF switch to the 'ON' position. The 'Protected' and 'Grounded' indicator lights should illuminate, confirming the surge protector is active and properly grounded.

Operating Instructions
- AC Outlets: The 10 AC outlets provide power for standard electronic devices. Ensure the total wattage of connected devices does not exceed 1875W.
- USB Ports: The 4 USB ports are designed for charging smartphones, tablets, and other USB-powered devices. Each port can deliver up to 2.4A.
- ON/OFF Switch: Use the red ON/OFF switch to control power to all connected outlets and USB ports.
- Surge Protection Indicator: The 'Protected' indicator light (usually green) confirms that the surge protection circuitry is active and functioning. If this light goes out, the surge protection has been compromised, and the unit should be replaced.
- Grounding Indicator: The 'Grounded' indicator light (usually green) confirms that the wall outlet is properly grounded.
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 sprays.
- Avoid Overloading: Do not exceed the maximum power rating of 1875W/15A. Overloading can cause the circuit breaker to trip or damage the unit and connected devices.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the power strip and its cord for any signs of damage, such as frayed wires, cracks, or loose connections. Discontinue use if damage is found.
- Environmental Conditions: Use the power strip indoors only. Keep it away from water, excessive heat, and direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
- No Power to Devices:
- Ensure the power strip's ON/OFF switch is in the 'ON' position.
- Check if the wall outlet is functioning by plugging in another device directly.
- Verify that the circuit breaker on the power strip has not tripped. If it has, reduce the load and press the reset button (if available, or cycle the ON/OFF switch).
- 'Protected' Indicator Light is Off:
- This indicates that the surge protection components have absorbed a surge and are no longer providing protection. The power strip will still function as a multi-outlet strip, but your devices are no longer protected from future surges. It is recommended to replace the unit.
- 'Grounded' Indicator Light is Off:
- This indicates a grounding problem with the wall outlet. Consult a qualified electrician to inspect the wiring.
