USING YOUR SURGE PROTECTOR 

1. 

Ensure the power is off on the devices you will be connecting to the AC outlets on the surge protector. 

2.  Plug the surge protector into a properly grounded AC wall outlet and turn on the surge protector.  

3.  Check that the PROTECTED and GROUNDED blue LEDs are illuminated. If the PROTECTED LED is not illuminated, the surge 

protector is not operating properly and will not protect your connected devices. If the GROUNDED LED is not illuminated the 
outlet the surge protector is connected to is not properly grounded and should not be used. Please have a licensed 
electrician diagnose and troubleshoot the affected wall outlet prior to use.    

4.  Plug your equipment into the outlets on the surge protector and power on your devices as usual.  

5.  USB devices can be charged/powered  by simply connecting the USB power cord to the USB ports on the surge protector. 

The USB ports deliver 5V and up to 2.4amps of power.
