• Multi-Safety Protection

  RoHS, FCC, and ETL certified, this surge protector incorporates a 3-level complementary Surge Protector Circuit (TVS, MOV, GDT). It safeguards your electrical appliances from lightning, surges, or spikes with a minimum energy-absorbing capacity of 900 Joules. The unit will automatically cut power to protect connected devices during overwhelming voltage surges.

Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the surge protector and all accessories from the packaging.
2. Placement: Choose a dry, indoor location away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit.
3. Plug In: Insert the power strip's flat plug into a standard 125VAC wall outlet.
4. Power On: Locate the power switch on the side of the unit and press it to the 'ON' position. The blue 'Protected' indicator light on the top surface should illuminate, confirming that the surge protection is active.
5. Mounting (Optional): If desired, use the two mounting holes on the back of the unit to securely attach it to a wall or desk surface using appropriate screws (not included).

Operating Instructions

1. Connecting AC Devices: Plug your electronic devices into any of the 8 widely spaced AC outlets. The wide spacing accommodates larger power adapters without blocking adjacent outlets.
2. Charging USB Devices: Connect your USB-powered devices (smartphones, tablets, etc.) to the USB-A or USB-C charging ports. The smart technology will automatically detect your device and deliver the optimal charging current.
3. Power Control: Use the main power switch to turn all connected devices on or off simultaneously.
4. Surge Protection Indicator: The blue 'Protected' light indicates that the surge protection feature is active and functioning. If this light goes out, the surge protection has been compromised, and the unit should be replaced.

Maintenance

• Keep the power strip clean and free from dust. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.
• Do not expose the unit to water or excessive moisture.
• Avoid placing heavy objects on the power cord.
• Regularly inspect the power cord and plug for any signs of damage.

Troubleshooting

• No Power to Devices:
  • Ensure the power strip's main switch is in the 'ON' position.
  • Verify that the wall outlet is functioning by plugging in another device.
  • Check if the 'Protected' indicator light is illuminated. If not, the surge protection may have been tripped or damaged.
• USB Ports Not Charging:
  • Confirm that your device is properly connected to the USB port.
  • Ensure your device's charging voltage is compatible (USB-C ports do not support 14-22V charging).
  • Try a different USB port or cable.
• Overload Protection Activated:
  • If the power strip automatically cuts power, it may be overloaded. Unplug some devices to reduce the total wattage.
  • Press the reset button (if available) or cycle the main power switch off and then on again.

Important Safety Warnings

• Do not exceed the total rating (1250W/10A) of the power strip, as this may cause damage to the unit and create fire hazards.
• For indoor use only. Do not use in wet or damp conditions.
• Do not disassemble or modify the unit. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• Ensure the plug is fully inserted into the wall outlet.
