A Note from the Head Monster

Thank you for purchasing the Monster Power® GreenPower™ HDP 850G PowerCenter. Today's high definition components use digital microprocessors to deliver incredible picture and sound. But this delicate digital circuitry is vulnerable to even small variations in power. The HDP 850G features advanced surge protection and power filtering to protect your home theater equipment, plus GreenPower outlets to stop standby mode energy waste.

The HDP 850G features GreenPower switched outlets that automatically shut off when you're not using the equipment connected to them. This stops energy waste caused by flatscreen TVs, DVD/Blu-ray Disc™ players, subwoofers, and other components in standby mode.

Exclusive Dual Mode Plus™ automatic disconnect protection circuitry protects against even the most powerful surges. There are also surge-protected coax connections to protect against dangerous power conditions on cable and satellite lines.

Patented Monster HD Clean Power™ is specifically engineered for today's high definition home theater components. Its filters are precision-engineered to virtually stop the electromagnetic and radio frequency noise that goes right through typical surge protectors. This advanced technology reduces stress on delicate digital circuitry, maximizing the lifespan of connected equipment and delivering improved performance.

These days, AV components are better than ever, providing surround sound and razor-sharp HD picture. With Monster Power, you'll have peace of mind knowing your home theater investment is protected and that you're getting all the performance you paid for, while saving money and energy with GreenPower.

Monster PowerCenter™ HDP 850G Features

Save Energy, Save Money and Reduce Your Carbon Footprint: Monster GreenPower™ is a revolutionary new way to automatically eliminate energy waste and save money. Simply plug your HDTV or AV receiver into the PowerCenter's Control outlet. When it's turned off or goes to sleep, the Monster GreenPower outlets switch off, automatically eliminating standby energy waste by your subwoofer, DVD player, and more. When your HDTV or AV receiver switches back on, the GreenPower outlets automatically power up again.

Advanced Monster Dual Mode Plus™ for Enhanced Surge Protection and Safety™: For added protection against more powerful surges and spikes, advanced Monster Dual Mode Plus™ circuitry automatically disconnects your AV equipment from the live power line to isolate your equipment from dangerous AC power conditions. Dual Mode Plus also sounds an alarm to alert you that your PowerCenter has protected your electronics.

Patented HD Clean Power™ Removes Noise and Interference to Protect Your AV Equipment and Maximize Performance: Your home's electricity is full of noise and interference caused by all of your appliances and electronics: cell phones, computers, even your lights, all contribute to the problem. This "dirty power" stresses the delicate digital circuitry inside HDTVs and other home theater equipment, reducing their performance and potentially shortening their lives. However, ordinary surge protectors can't remove the effects of dirty power. The HDP 850G features HD Clean Power filtering that is precision-engineered to remove electrical noise and interference. This protects the delicate circuitry inside your HDTV and other electronics from unnecessary wear. HD Clean Power maximizes your equipment's lifespan and ensures the best possible picture and sound performance.

Hook-Up Guide

Connecting Components:

1. Attach a Monster Power identification label to each component's power cord before plugging it into the appropriate color-coded PowerCenter outlet.
2. Plug each component's power cord (HDTV, AV receiver, Cable/Satellite box, etc.) into the PowerCenter's corresponding outlet.

Note: The outlets on your PowerCenter are labeled for convenience. It will not harm your equipment to plug into an outlet that's labeled differently.

Connecting To GreenPower™ Outlets:

1. Connect your AV Receiver or HDTV to the "GREENPOWER CONTROL" outlet.
2. Connect devices such as Plasma TV, Subwoofer, and DVD/Blu-ray™ Disc™ Player to "GREENPOWER CONTROLLED" switched outlets so they won't use power when the component connected to the "GREENPOWER CONTROL" outlet is powered off or in sleep mode.

Note: If you don't want any outlets to automatically switch off, Monster GreenPower can be disabled by the switch located on the end of the PowerCenter.

Warning: Important data and settings stored on hard drives (recorded TV shows, game saves, etc.) may be corrupted or deleted if power is turned off while the hard drive is being read from or written to. If you hook up a hard drive-based device such as a TiVo®, DVR, or video game console to a "GREENPOWER CONTROLLED" switched outlet, make sure the device is NOT being read from or written to when you turn off the equipment connected to the "GREENPOWER CONTROL" outlet. To ensure against the possibility of data loss or corruption, you should connect hard drive-based devices to unswitched outlets or disable GreenPower using the switch located on the end of the PowerCenter. Monster assumes no responsibility for data loss, corruption, or damage to hard drive-based devices connected to PowerCenters with GreenPower automatic outlet switching.

Coaxial Connections Hook-Up: Coaxial Connections provide surge protection against damaging voltage surges and spikes on the incoming cable TV and satellite lines. Connect the coaxial cable from your antenna or satellite dish to the "IN" port. Connect the coaxial cable to your TV or cable box input or your satellite receiver input via the "OUT" port.

Wall-Mounting Instructions: The PowerCenter comes with keyholes for convenient wall-mounting.

1. Select the best location to mount the PowerCenter and mark the position for the four mounting screws (screws not supplied).
2. Drive pan-head screws with spacer eyelets into the wall (use drywall anchors for hollow walls) at the locations you marked, leaving the eyelet exposed.
3. Position the key-holes on the back of the unit over the screw/eyelets and slide the PowerCenter down until it locks into position.

Safety Precautions

Please read and observe the following safety points at all times.

WARNING – Power Sources

Do not plug this PowerCenter™ into a power outlet that differs from the source indicated for safe use on the PowerCenter. If you don’t know the type of electrical power that is supplied to your home, consult your local power company or a qualified electrician.

WARNING – Grounding and Polarization

A. Do not force your PowerCenter plug into an outlet that is not designed to accept a three-wire grounded-type AC plug (a three-prong plug). This plug is designed to be inserted into a grounded-type outlet only. If this plug doesn’t fit directly inside your outlet, do not attempt to force it into the outlet. Never attempt to dismantle the plug in any way (or to alter the power cord). Do not attempt to defeat the grounding feature by using a 3-to-2 prong adapter. If you have questions about grounding, consult your local power company or a qualified electrician.

B. If you use rooftop devices such as satellite dishes, antennas, or any other component with wire that connects to your PowerCenter, be sure the wire(s) is properly grounded. This protects against voltage surges and static charges.

C. Do not place any antenna near overhead power lines or any other power circuit. Do not touch any power line or power circuit. Doing so may cause severe physical injury or possibly death.

WARNING – Liquid: Avoiding Electrical Shocks

A. Do not operate your Monster PowerCenter® if liquid of any kind is spilled onto or inside the unit.

B. Do not operate your Monster PowerCenter near rain or water that’s spilled or contained (e.g., bathtub, or kitchen sink).

WARNING – Power Cord Safety

A. When routing your PowerCenter’s AC power cord, do not place it near heavy foot traffic areas (e.g., hallways, doorways, and floors). Do not create a trip hazard with the power cord.

B. If your power cord’s protective jacket begins to rip or fray, exposing the internal wiring, shielding, etc., disconnect it from the AC power source and discontinue use of the Monster PowerCenter immediately. See the Warranty Information section of this owner’s manual for important details.

WARNING – Storm Precautions

In the event of a lightning storm, it’s always a good idea to disconnect your Monster PowerCenter from the power outlet; there is no need to disconnect your separate AV components. Make sure that ALL of your AV components and PC products are protected with Monster Power.

WARNING – No User Serviceable Parts Inside

If, for any reason, your PowerCenter is not operating properly, do not remove any part of the unit (cover, etc.) for repair. Unplug the unit and consult the Warranty Information section of this owner’s manual for important details.

CAUTION – Exposure To Heat

Do not expose your PowerCenter to direct sunlight or place it near wall heaters, space heaters, or any enclosed space prone to temperature increase.

CAUTION – Proper Cleaning

In general, the only cleaning necessary for your Monster PowerCenter is a light dusting. Unplug your component from the wall outlet before cleaning it. Do not use any type of liquid or aerosol cleaners.
