Possible Solution •Turn on the component. NOTE: For the best possible performance, plug the PowerSource into a wall outlet, not an outlet on another component. Possible Cause #4 The PowerSource is defective.
Page 28 TROUBLESHOOTING (continued) Possible Cause #2 PowerSource is plugged into a switched outlet on a component which is not turned on. The PowerSource will not receive power and therefore will not provide power to the components plugged into the PowerSource's outlets. Possible Solution •Turn on the component.
Page 29 TROUBLESHOOTING (continued) PROBLEM - The "GROUND OK" LED is off. Possible Cause The PowerSource is not plugged into a properly grounded AC outlet. Possible Solution •Plug the PowerSource into a properly grounded 120V outlet.
Page 30: Frequently Asked Questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. What is the importance of component-to-component filtering? With the Monster PowerSource, AC power must first go through a segment of noise filters, which isolates your equipment from noise on the AC power line. Most manufacturers' battles against line noise stops there. The next crucial step of noise filtering must occur between components.
Page 31 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. Will it harm a component to plug it into an outlet that it's not designated to power, like a high power amplifier into an outlet marked for TV? No. However, you may not realize the full performance potential of the component. Q.
Page 32: Appendices A. Glossary Of Terms
Clean Power : Noise filtering designed exclusively for Monster Power products by renowned engineer/inventor Richard Marsh. Filters out unwanted interference caused by RFI, EMI, and component-generated noise, so components plugged into a PowerSource can deliver maximum performance without noise entering their signal path.
Page 33 Hertz (Hz): A unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second. Joule Rating: A measurement of how much surge can be absorbed by a surge suppressor device. The higher the joule rating, the more surge it can absorb. Peak Current: The maximum current which flows during a complete cycle without permanent change in breakdown ratings or published life specifications.
