DO NOT defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug. A grounding-type plug has two

blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If

the provided plug does not ﬁt into your outlet, consult an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, the grounding of the center pin of this plug must be maintained.

INSTALLATION

Mounting Your Power Strip (Optional Installation): The power strip contains keyhole openings so

you can mount your power strip on a wall or other vertical surface. However, it is recommended

that you mount the surge protector prior to plugging it in or connecting any of your equipment.

Create a mounting template by placing a piece of paper over the mounting holes. Use a pin to make

two holes in the paper in the preferred mounting location. Using the template, place it over the

desired mounting location and mark it with the push pins. Remove the template and install the

mounting screws (User Supplied). Drive the screws into the pinhole marks until ¼ in. (0.5 cm) of the

screw threads are exposed. Place the power strip over the screw heads and slide into place.

Plug in your power strip to your AC Power Line: Be sure the power strip's power cord is plugged

into a standard, 3-wire grounded 120V AC, 60Hz outlet.

Turn your power strip ON: Press the power strip's power switch until the three LED indicator lights

illuminate blue, indicating the unit is On and connected to AC input power.

Review the LED status indicator Lights: Check the LEDs prior to connecting any of your equipment.

They will indicate the power strip's optimum operating conditions when plugged into a 120V AC

outlet.

Power LED: Will illuminate blue when lit. This indicates that Austere Power is

plugged in and receiving power.

Ground LED: Will illuminate blue when lit. This indicates that Austere Power is

plugged into a properly grounded circuit. If the Ground LED does not illuminate, there is

something wrong with the electrical wiring to the AC outlet, and we recommend having

it inspected by a licensed and insured electrician. When the Ground LED is not

illuminated, your equipment is NOT protected from surge or irregular power events.

Powering your equipment with Austere Power in the absence of Ground LED voids the

Austere Limited Lifetime Guarantee and Component Guarantee.

Protected LED: Will illuminate blue when lit. This indicates that Austere Power

surge suppression components are intact and fully protected against surges. When the

Protected LED no longer illuminates, it is time to replace the unit. When the Protected
