Safety Information
To ensure safe operation and prevent damage, please read and follow these safety guidelines:
- Do not exceed the electrical ratings of this product (15A, 1875W, 125V).
- This device is for indoor use only. Do not expose to moisture or wet conditions.
- Do not disassemble or modify the unit. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
- Ensure the wall outlet is properly grounded before installation.
- Keep children away from the device and connected cords.

Setup and Installation
The POWRUI Multi Plug Outlet Surge Protector is designed for easy installation directly into a standard duplex wall outlet.
- Prepare the Wall Outlet: Ensure the existing wall outlet is a standard duplex receptacle. For a flush fit, you may need to remove the existing wall plate.
- Check Compatibility: This product is compatible with standard duplex and decor outlets. It is NOT compatible with USB receptacles or GFCI outlets due to potential interference with reset buttons or wider spacing. Ensure there is at least 1 inch of space between the two parallel sockets of your wall outlet for proper fit.
- Remove Protective Post (if necessary): The plastic post on the back of the unit prevents use in USB and GFCI receptacles. If installing into a standard duplex outlet, this post may need to be cut off if it interferes with the outlet's design, though it is generally designed to fit without modification in standard outlets.
- Plug In the Unit: Align the prongs of the surge protector with the wall outlet and firmly push the unit into place.
- Secure the Unit: Use the provided mounting screw to secure the unit to the wall outlet's center screw hole. This ensures stability and a flush fit.
