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
outlet active. Try turning on the light switches located near the wall outlet.
• 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 will not allow unit to operate.
• If the Circuit Breaker continues to trip, try moving one or more components
to another PowerCenter, or using a PowerCenter with higher capacity (maximum
amps rating). You may be drawing too much current through one PowerCenter.
• Turn the PowerCenter On.
• Or, plug the component into an Unswitched outlet.
• 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 PowerCenter's grounding post.
