Introduction

®
Thank you for purchasing PowerKey Pro!
PowerKey Pro Model 200 is a "smart" power strip that can
®
control an entire Macintosh system. You can start up your
computer and all (or just some) of your peripherals with one
keystroke. You can start up your system with a phone call. You
can create schedules to control your system at any time of the
day or night.
The PowerKey Pro unit has six outlets that switch as two
groups, to allow you to control your peripherals indepen-
dently. It offers the security of power surge protection for all
devices connected to it, including your modem and phone.
With the included software, you can turn on your peripherals
with the touch of a key, or automatically turn off your monitor
when the computer is idle. You can set up timed events to
automate many day-to-day tasks, for example to turn on your
computer before you get to work or run nightly unattended
backups. If you purchase our optional Server Restart Option™,
you can even automatically restart your computer when it
crashes!
