TROUBLESHOOTING

Remedy
• Turn the PowerCenter switch on.
• Make sure the PowerCenter's AC power plug is plugged into a properly grounded
120 volts (nominal) wall outlet.
• In some households, a wall switch may need to be thrown to make the wall plug
active. Try turning on the light switches located near the wall unit.
• Press the PowerCenter Thermal Circuit Breaker button in to reset. Please allow
10 minutes before attempting to reset. If you reset too soon, the breaker will
prematurely sense power overload and not allow unit to operate.
• If the Circuit Breaker continues to trip, try moving one or more components
to another PowerCenter. You may be drawing too much current through
one PowerCenter.
• Turn the component power On.
• Connect your PowerCenter to a dedicated outlet.
• Try unplugging different components from the PowerCenter one at a time to see if the noise
stops. If a component is discovered to be improperly grounded, attach a copper wire from
the component's chassis to the nearest available grounding point.
