WARNING – Power Cord Safety A. When routing your PowerSource’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 power source and discontinue use of the Monster PowerSource immediately.
PROPER GROUNDING AND INSTALLATION WARNING – Proper Grounding Monster PowerSources require a properly grounded outlet for safety and to protect connected equipment. If you’re not sure if your home’s electrical wiring is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician. Proper Power and Protection Important Note –...
Here are the highlights… The Monster Signature HTPS 7000 MKII does an excellent job of protecting your components from harmful power surges, but it’s benefits include much more than just surge protection. Exclusive Monster...

MONSTER’S EXCLUSIVE T2 TECHNOLOGY ™ The Monster Power HTPS 7000 MKII PowerCenter features exclusive Monster T2 technology. T2 is an active electronic microprocessor-controlled circuit that sits in front of the surge protection circuitry in select Monster Power products. T2 monitors the line, neutral and ground lines and automatically disconnects the PowerCenter from the AC power line when a long duration low-voltage sag or high-voltage swell occurs ( continuous voltage below 70Vrms or above 132Vrms).
AC powerline noise rejection and inter-component isolation for improved component-generated noise rejection. All of these features make the Signature HTPS 7000 MKII ideal for your home theater system. To learn more about patented Monster Clean Power and the complete product family of PowerCenters, voltage stabilizers and amplifiers, please visit MonsterPower.com.

Video Filter: These outlets have a specifically designed filter circuit that reduces interference to your video components. 21. High Current Audio Filter 1: These outlets have a specifically designed filter circuit that reduces interference to your high current audio components, such as amplifiers and pre-amplifiers.
Digital Outlet Hook-Up These outlets have a special filter circuit that is optimized to reduce interference to your digital components. A) Attach a Monster Power before you plug it into the appropriate color-coded PowerSource outlet. B) Plug each component’s power cord (Cable/SAT, DVD, etc.) into the PowerSource’s corresponding outlet. For components not listed, determine if they are audio, video, digital or ultra-high current audio components, and use a corresponding outlet for best performance.
Video Outlet Hook-Up These outlets have a special filter circuit that is optimized to reduce interference to your video components. A) Attach a Monster Power identification label to each component’s power cord ® before you plug it into the appropriate color-coded PowerSource outlet. B) Plug each component’s power cord (TV/Monitor, DVD) into the PowerSource’s corresponding outlet.
Analog Audio Outlet Hook-Up These outlets have a special filter circuit that is optimized to reduce interference to your audio components. A) Attach a Monster Power before you plug it into the appropriate color-coded PowerSource outlet. B) Plug each component’s power cord (Receiver, Processor, etc.) into the PowerSource’s corresponding outlet. For components not listed, determine if they are audio, video, digital, or ultra-high current audio, and use a corresponding outlet for best performance.
High Current Audio Outlet Hook-Up These outlets are designed to deliver maximum current to power hungry components like amplifiers and pre-amplifiers. A) Attach a Monster Power identification label to each component’s power cord ® before you plug it into the appropriate color-coded PowerSource outlet. B) Plug each component’s power cord (Amplifier, etc.) into the PowerSource’s corresponding outlet.
Outlet Programming All PowerSource outlets on the rear panel are programmable via the menu and select buttons on the front panel. To set up each outlet pair, use the front panel MENU and SELECT buttons to choose between SWITCHED ON, SWITCHED ON AFTER DELAY and UNSWITCHED (Always On) independently for each outlet pair.
