Operating

  • Verify that the power strip's plug is securely inserted into the wall outlet.
  • Check the wall outlet by plugging in another known working device.
  • Check your home's circuit breaker or fuse box to ensure the circuit is active.
  • If the overload protection has tripped, reduce the number of connected devices and reset the power strip (if applicable, or cycle the main power switch).
• Intermittent Power:
