10 Five master-controlled outlets

 – automatically shut down to 

conserve energy when the device plugged into the master 
outlet is turned off.

11 Four always-on outlets

 – provide continuous power 

regardless of Master/Master-controlled outlets state.

• 

3,450 joules surge protection

 – Protects your equipment 

from damaging power surges and spikes.

• 

70 dB EMI/RFI noise filtering

 – Ensures that your equipment 

receives only clean power for maximum performance.

• 

Audible alarm

 – Sounds when the surge protection feature has 

reached full capacity and can no longer absorb surges and 
spikes.  The power manager should be replaced if this alarm 
sounds.

• 

Power cord labels

 – attach these labels to your power cords 

(near the plug end) to help identify which cord is attached to 
which device in the event that one should need to be 
unplugged for any reason. The labels are pre-printed for 
convenience, and the blank labels can be customized for 
unique devices.

Operating instructions

1

 Plug the power cord of the Rocketfish Power Manager into a 

standard 120V AC outlet. If the LEDs do not light up, press the 
main power switch/circuit breaker on the side of the unit.

2

 Plug the power cord of your primary home theater device, such 

as a TV, into the 

Master 

outlet of the Power Manager. When this 

device is powered off or goes into a SLEEP or STANDBY mode, 
power to the devices plugged into the 

Master-controlled

 outlets 

will automatically be shut off, saving energy by preventing them 
from drawing any standby current.

3

 Plug the power cords of your secondary devices, such as a 

Blu-ray/DVD player, A/V receiver, CD player, etc., into the 

Master-controlled

 outlets of the Power Manager.  

Note

: Do not plug any device into a 

Master-controlled

 outlet that 

you wish to use while the power of the primary device plugged 
into the 

Master 

outlet is powered off, as these outlets only 

provide power to the connected devices while the primary 
device is powered on.

4

 Plug the power cords of any devices that require constant power, 

such as a DVR/PVR, or devices that you wish to use while the 
primary device is powered off, into the 

Always-on

 outlets of the 

Power Manager. 

5

 Connect the incoming coaxial cable source (i.e., the cable jack on 

the wall or incoming satellite line) to the coaxial jack marked IN 
on the Power Manager.

6

 Connect a separate coaxial cable from the coaxial jack marked 

OUT on the Power Manager to the coaxial input jack of the 
cable/satellite set-top box.

7

 Connect the incoming phone (RJ11) or Ethernet (RJ45) line to the 

data line jack marked IN on the Power Manager.

8

 Connect a separate phone or Ethernet cable from the data line 

jack marked OUT on the Power Manager to the corresponding 
input jack (phone or Ethernet) on the device (i.e., satellite set-top 
box).

Note

: the data line jacks are combo (RJ11/RJ45) jacks, meaning 

they will accept either a RJ11 or RJ45 plug. They will not accept 
both types of plugs simultaneously.

9

 After all devices have been properly plugged into the Power 

Manager and powered on, when you power the primary device 
that is plugged into the 

Master 

outlet on and off, the secondary 

devices that are plugged into the 

Master-controlled

 outlets will 

automatically power on and off. Devices that are plugged into 
the 

Always-on

 outlets will not be controlled by the primary 

device, and must be powered on and off separately as desired.

Note

: Should the 

Master-controlled

 outlets not power on and off 

as described when the primary device plugged into the 

Master 

outlet is powered on and off, it is possible that the primary 
device draws too much current while in the OFF or STANDBY 
mode. In the event this should occur with your equipment, try 
plugging a different primary device into the 

Master 

outlet.
