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, 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.

Master outlet

—This AC Adapter-spaced outlet controls the 6 Master-controlled outlets. 

When a device plugged into this outlet shuts down or enters sleep mode, power to the 
master-controlled outlets is automatically shut off.

Master-controlled outlets

—Devices (monitor, speakers, etc.) plugged into these outlets 

automatically shut down when the device plugged into the Master Outlet shuts down.

Always-on outlets

—These outlets stay on as long as the entire Power Manager is switched 

on. They are not controlled by the Master outlet.

Energy Saver On/Off Switch

—When switched to “off”, the energy-saving feature will be 

disabled, and all outlets will be enabled regardless of the state of the master device.

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

 (may be located under 

   ”Systems and Security” within the 

Control Panel

), then select a system standby time 

   under 

Settings for Power Schemes

.

  •  For Macs, open 

System Preferences

 and select 

Energy Saver

.

2

  Power down your primary device safely, then 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, this may include your monitor, speakers, external hard drives, etc.
  •  For TVs, this may include your DVD player, amplifier, powered sub-woofer, etc.

Test your configuration by turning on all your primary and secondary devices, then shut 

down the primary device properly. 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.

Whenever your primary device goes into standby mode, power is 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 used when the master device (e.g. 

computer) is operating.

Note

: Some computers continue to consume more than 10W of power in standby mode. If this is the 

case, 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 laptop computers 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.
