QUICK SETUP GUIDE

Congratulations on your purchase of this Rocketfish Power Manager 
with surge protection and noise filtering.
Your power manager:
•  Reduces energy consumption to save environmental resources 

and lower your electric bill

•  Provides surge protection for sensitive electronic devices
•  Incorporates noise filtering to provide "clean" power that will 

maximize the performance of your devices

Features

Front

Back

1  Main power switch/circuit breaker

 – controls power to all AC 

outlets on the Power Manager, and allows the unit to be reset in 
the event of a circuit overload (after the overload condition has 
been resolved).

Protected 

LED indicator

 – lights when the surge protection 

feature is working properly. If this LED does not light or goes 
out, the surge protection feature has reached full capacity and 
can no longer absorb additional surges and spikes. The power 
manager should be replaced if this light goes out.

Wiring 

LED indicator

 – lights to indicate that the Line and 

Neutral leads to the AC outlet with which the power manager is 
plugged into are properly wired.  If this LED does not light, we 
recommend that you contact a certified, licensed electrician to 
inspect your wiring.

Grounded 

LED indicator

 – lights when a properly grounded AC 

outlet is detected. If this LED does not light, we recommend that 
you contact a certified, licensed electrician to inspect your 
wiring.

ES On

 LED indicator

 – lights when the power manager is set to 

the Energy Saving mode.

6  LED information panel

 – keeps you informed of incoming 

voltage level (volts), current draw of connected equipment 
(amps) and total power consumption (watts). 

7  LED panel controls

 – allow you to toggle through the 

information provided by the display, as well as dim the 
brightness of the display.

8  USB power ports

 – two front panel USB power ports for 

conveniently powering/charging mobile USB devices, such as 
MP3 players, cell/smart phones, etc.

9  ES (Energy Saving) On/Off switch

 – allows you to turn the 

master/master-controlled feature on and off.  When set to the 
ON position, the master outlet will control power to the 
master-controlled outlets. When set to the OFF position, all 
eight outlets will function as Always-on outlets.

10 One master outlet

 – controls power to the five 

master-controlled outlets.

11  Five master-controlled outlets

 – automatically shut down to 

conserve energy when the device plugged into the master 
outlet is turned off (only with the ES On/Off switch is set to the 
ON position).

12  Two always-on outlets

 – provide continuous power regardless 

of Master/Master-controlled outlets state.

13  Network line surge protection

 – protects your incoming 

Ethernet (RJ45) line from surges and spikes.

14  Coaxial cable surge protection

 – protects your incoming 

coaxial cable line from surges and spikes.

15 Ground post 

– use to provide a ground to non-grounded 

devices, such as turntables.

16  Standard EMI/RFI noise filtering

 – six outlets are designed 

with standard EMI/RFI noise filtering (do not plug Powerline 
devices into these outlets as the filtering could negatively 
impact network performance).

17  PLC Compatible noise filtering

 - two outlets are designed with 

PLC Compatible

 noise filtering, allowing Powerline networking 

devices to be plugged into these outlets with no negative effect 
on network performance.

18  Phone line surge protection

 – protects your incoming phone 

(RJ11) line from surges and spikes; also serves as a 1-in/2-out 
line splitter.

19  8 ft (2.4 m) Soft-Flex™ power cord with right-angle/off-set 

plug

 – enables placement of the Power Manager in the desired 

location, furniture to be placed as close as possible to the wall 
and will not block the second AC outlet.

• 

Console design

 – made to fit conveniently in a stack of home 

theater components.

• 

4,650 joules surge protection

 – protects your equipment from 

damaging power surges and spikes.

• 

80 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 front 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.
