Troubleshooting
Symptom Possible Cause Remedy
The WattBox™ is not receiving power.
The WattBox™ is not turned On.
• Turn the WattBox™ switch on.
• Make sure the WattBox™ AC
power plug is plugged into a
properly grounded 120 volts
(nominal) wall outlet.
• 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.
• Press the WattBox™ resettable
circuit breaker button in to
reset. Please allow 10 minutes
before attempting to reset. If you
reset too soon, the breaker will
prematurely sense power overload
and not allow the WattBox™ to
operate.
• If the circuit breaker continues
to trip, try moving one or
more components to another
WattBox™. You may be drawing
too much current through one
WattBox™.
Component is not receiving power.
The component is plugged into a
switched outlet and the WattBox™
has not been turned On.
• Turn the WattBox™ On.
• Or, plug the component into an un-
switched outlet.
The WattBox™ is plugged into a
switched outlet, but power on the
component is not On. In some
instances, a component plugged into
a switched outlet won’t receive power
when the WattBox™ is turned On
unless the component power is also
switched On.
• Turn the component power On.
Speakers emit a humming or buzzing
noise.
The WattBox™ is sharing AC power
with equipment that is not properly
grounded.
• Connect your WattBox™ to a
dedicated outlet.
• Try unplugging different
components from the WattBox™
one at a time to see if the noise
stops.
• If a component is discovered to
be improperly grounded, attach a
copper wire from the component’s
chassis to the WattBox™
grounding post.
