Features
ON/OFF Control—Controls power to all outlets. The switch is also a 15A breaker. When a
power surge occurs, this control instantly turns off the Power Manager, protecting devices
that are connected to it. When the surge is no longer present, press ON to resume normal
operations.
LED indicators—When both LEDs are lit, it indicates that your Power Manager is operating
normally, with full surge protection.
• If the Protected LED is NOT lit, it may mean that the surge protector function has
reached full capacity, and the unit can no longer provide surge protection. Your Power
Manager may need to be replaced.
• If the Grounded LED is NOT lit, it means that your Power Manager is plugged into a
non-grounded outlet and that you should use another outlet for full surge protection.

Power Manager with surge protection
Master outlet—This AC Adapter-spaced outlet outlet controls the 4 Master-controlled
outlets. If the PC or laptop that's plugged in here is turned off or enters standby/sleep
mode, devices plugged into Master-controlled outlets automatically shut down.
Master-controlled outlets —Devices (monitor, speakers, etc.) plugged into these
outlets automatically shut down when the Master outlet device shuts down.
Always-on outlets—These outlets stay on as long as the Power Manager is on. They are
not controlled by the Master outlet.
Coaxial cable surge protection—Connect cable modems, cable/satellite boxes, etc.
Phone line surge protection— Connect DSL modems, phones, fax machines, etc.
6 ft. Soft-Flex™ power cord—With right-angle plug
Using your Master and Master controlled outlets
1 (Computers only) Enable the standby mode in your computer's power
management settings.
• For Windows, open the Control Panel, select Power Options, then select a
system standby time under Settings for Power Schemes.
• For Macs, open System Preferences and select Energy Saver.
2 Plug your primary device (such as your computer or your TV) into the Master outlet.
3 Plug your secondary devices into the Master-controlled outlets.
• For computers, plug in your monitor, speakers, external hard drives, etc.
• For TVs, plug in your DVD player, amplifier, powered sub-woofer, etc.
4 Test your configuration by turning on all your devices, then turn off the primary
device. If the secondary devices all turn off (1-2 seconds) when you turn off the
primary device, your Power Manager is working as it should.
5 When your computer goes into standby mode, power will be shut off to peripherals
plugged into the Master-controlled outlets. When the computer "awakens", the surge
protector immediately supplies power to these peripherals.
NOTE: Only connect devices to the Master-controlled outlets that are only used when the master
device (e.g. computer) is operating.
NOTE: Some computers continue to consume more than 10W of power in standby mode. The
Master outlet may not recognize the standby mode, and the Master-controlled outlets will not
shut off. If this occurs, make sure Hibernate/ Sleep mode is also enabled on your computer under
power management settings, or check with your computer's manufacturer.
NOTE: Many laptops consume more than 10W of power while the battery is charging. In this case,
the master-controlled outlets will not turn off until the laptop battery is fully charged and power
consumption is reduced.
