Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
A TrickleStar Advanced PowerStrip helps save energy by automatically cutting power to switched outlets when a control device, such as a TV or computer, is turned off. This eliminates standby 'vampire' power waste.
If the circuit breaker trips, locate the switch on the unit (usually on the side or top), toggle it to the 'OFF' position, and then back to 'RESET' to restore power.
To file a claim, visit the TrickleStar website's warranty claim page. You will typically need to provide the product part number, proof of purchase, and a description of the issue. The form can often be emailed to warranty@tricklestar.com.
Many TrickleStar surge protectors come with a Connected Device Warranty that covers repair or replacement costs for properly connected equipment damaged by a surge, up to a specified dollar amount (e.g., $20,000), subject to terms and conditions.
The 'Switched' LED only lights up when the switched outlets are receiving power. This happens when the device plugged into the 'Control' outlet is turned on and drawing sufficient power to trigger the sensor.
