In some households, a wall switch 

may need to be turned on to make 

the wall outlet active. Try turning on 

the light switches located near the 

wall outlet.

Too many devices are connected, causing 

an overload, tripping the Thermal Circuit 

Breaker.

then return it to the RESET position.

If the circuit breaker continues to trip, 

try moving one or more components

component power is also switched On.

• 

Turn the component power On.

Speakers emit a humming or buzzing noise.

from the Wattbox
