Safety Instructions

Read this manual thoroughly before use and keep it in a safe place for future reference, along with the

purchase receipt and carton. The safety precautions enclosed herein reduce the risk of fire, electric shock

and injury when correctly adhered to. Follow all instructions and take notice of all warnings to reduce

the risk of fire or electric shock. Always exercise caution when operating any electrical device. Install in

accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Turn off when not in use.

DO NOT use if power supply become damaged or broken. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or

plug is damage, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been

exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

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

a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug

does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. To reduce the risk

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

Important: This device features an internal protection that will disconnect the surge protective component

at the end of its useful life but will maintain mains power to the power strip – all connected devices are now

unprotected. It is recommended to replace this unit every 5 years.

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 with the push

pins. Remove the template and install the mounting screws (User Supplied). Drive the screws into the pin

hole 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 it illuminates 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 optimum operating conditions of the power strip when it is plugged into a 120V AC outlet.

Power LED: Will illuminate blue when lit. This indicates the power strip is plugged in and receiving

power.

Ground LED: Will illuminate blue when lit. This indicates that the unit is plugged into a properly

ground circuit.

Protected LED: Will illuminate blue when lit. This indicates that the power strips surge

suppression components are intact and providing full protection against surges.

Connect Your Equipment: Plug your equipment's power cords into the power strip's AC outlets. All

Austere power products feature expansive SmartFit outlets to accommodate your equipment's

transformers without covering neighboring outlets. It is important to remember that you should NOT plug in

extension cords directly into the power strip. DO NOT OVERLOAD the surge protector's outlets. The surge

protector can accommodate a total equipment load of up to 15 amps (whether plugged into a single outlet

or spread out over multiple outlets).

If the load on the surge protector exceeds 12 amps, the internal circuit breaker will trip and the outlets will

stop providing power. If the circuit breaker trips, reduce the load by unplugging some devices. Reset the

strip by cycling the power button from On to Off and then On again. Repeat the process of unplugging a

device to reduce the overall load until the strip remains On delivering power to all connected devices.

When plugged in, if the ground indicator LED does not light, move the power strip to a different grounded

3-prong AC outlet. If this symptom continues, your outlets may not be properly grounded and need to be

repaired by a professional electrician.

If the protected LED does not light, the power strip's AC line is no longer protected from surges and the

power strip must be replaced. If the strip continues to be used with the protected LED in the Off state any

connected equipment will not be protected from future surges and spikes.

USB Charging Ports: A total of (5) USB ports are available on both the V & VII Series power strip models;

1. Two USB A ports on all models.

2. Three USB C ports on all models.

3. One of USB C ports is a Power Delivery (PD) connection delivering 45W and up to 20v, enough to

charge and run high power products such as laptops and large tablets. The PD power port is a

feature that is only available on the VII series models (7S-PS6-US1 and 7S-PS8-US1).
