HDP 850G FEATURESA NOTE FROM THE HEAD MONSTER
®
“Small surges can occur
several times a day or a
hundred times an hour
ranging from several
thousand volts to under 100
volts…A single, powerful
surge literally melts, welds,
pits and burns its way
through solid state circuits.”

GreenPower
™
HDP 850G PowerCenter. Today’s high
definition components use digital microprocessors to
deliver incredible picture and sound. But this delicate
digital circuitry is vulnerable to even small variations
in power. The HDP 850G features advanced surge
protection and power filtering to protect your home
theater equipment, plus GreenPower outlets to stop
standby mode energy waste.
The HDP 850G features GreenPower switched outlets
that automatically shut off when you’re not using the
equipment connected to them. This stops energy
waste caused by flatscreen TVs, DVD/Blu-ray Disc
™
players, subwoofers and other components in stand-by mode.
Exclusive Dual Mode Plus
™
automatic disconnect protection circuitry protects against
even the most powerful surges. There are also surge-protected coax connections
to protect against dangerous power conditions on cable and satellite lines.
Patented Monster HD Clean Power
®
is specifically engineered for today’s high definition
home theater components. Its filters are precision-engineered to virtually stop
the electromagnetic and radio frequency noise that goes right through typical surge
protectors. This advanced technology reduces stress on delicate digital circuitry,
maximizing the lifespan of connected equipment and delivering improved performance.
These days, AV components are better than ever, providing surround sound
and razor sharp HD picture. With Monster Power, you’ll have peace of mind knowing
your home theater investment is protected and that you’re getting all the performance
you paid for, while saving money and energy with GreenPower.
Save Energy, Save Money
and Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
Monster GreenPower
™
is a revolutionary new way
to automatically eliminate energy waste and save
money. Simply plug your HDTV or AV receiver into the
PowerCenter’s Control outlet. When it’s turned off or goes
to sleep, the Monster GreenPower outlets switch off,
automatically eliminating stand-by energy waste by your,
subwoofer, DVD player, and more. When your HDTV
or AV receiver switches back on, the GreenPower outlets
automatically power up again.
Advanced Monster Dual Mode Plus
™
for Enhanced
Surge Protection and Safety
™
For added protection against more powerful surges and spikes, advanced Monster Dual
Mode Plus
™
circuitry automatically disconnects your AV equipment from the live power
line to isolate your equipment from dangerous AC power conditions. Dual Mode Plus also
sounds an alarm to alert you that your PowerCenter has protected your electronics.
Patented HD Clean Power
®
Removes Noise and Interference
to Protect Your AV Equipment and Maximize Performance
Your home’s electricity is full of noise and interference caused by all of your appliances
and electronics: cell phones, computers, even your lights, all contribute to the problem.
This “dirty power” stresses the delicate digital circuitry inside HDTVs and other home
theater equipment, reducing their performance and potentially shortening their lives.
However, ordinary surge protectors can’t remove the effects of dirty power.
The HDP 850G features HD Clean Power filtering that is precision-engineered to remove
electrical noise and interference. This protects the delicate circuitry inside your HDTV and
other electronics from unnecessary wear. HD Clean Power maximizes your equipment’s
lifespan and ensures the best possible picture and sound performance.

Symptom Possible Cause Remedy
The PowerCenter™is not
receiving power.
The PowerCenter is not turned On.
Too many devices are connected, causing an overload,
tripping the Circuit Breaker.
• Turn the PowerCenter switch on.
• Make sure the PowerCenter’s AC power plug is plugged into a properly grounded
120 volts (nominal) wall outlet.
• In some households, a wall switch may need to be thrown to make the wall plug
active. Try turning on the light switches located near the wall unit.
• Press the PowerCenter main power switch to “OFF” and then again to “ON” to reset.
Component is not
receiving power.
The component is plugged into a GreenPower switched outlet
and the PowerCenter has not been turned On.
The PowerCenter 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 PowerCenter
is turned On unless the component power is also switched On.
The component is plugged into a GreenPower switched outlet
and the component connected to the GreenPower Control Outlet has
not been turned On.
• Turn the PowerCenter On.
• Turn On the component plugged into the Switched outlet.
Speakers emit a humming
or buzzing noise. The PowerCenter is sharing AC power with equipment
that is not properly grounded.
• Connect your PowerCenter to a dedicated outlet.
• Try unplugging different components from the PowerCenter
one at a time to see if the noise stops.
• Make sure all components are plugged into PowerCenter.
Alarm beeps continuously.
The PowerCenter protection circuitry has sacrificed itself to protect
connected equipment from a catastrophic surge.
The PowerCenter must be replaced. See the Warranty Information
section for important details.
“Ground OK” Diagnostic Indicator Light
does not come on. Make sure PowerCenter is plugged into grounded outlet. Contact a qualified electrician to check outlet(s) for proper grounding.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and observe the following safety points at all times.
WARNING – Power Sources
Do not plug this PowerCenter™into a power outlet that differs from
the source indicated for safe use on the PowerCenter. If you don’t know
the type of electrical power that is supplied to your home, consult your
local power company or a qualified electrician.
WARNING – Grounding and Polarization
A. Do not force your PowerCenter plug into an outlet that is not designed
to accept a three-wire grounded-type AC plug (a three-prong plug).
This plug is designed to be inserted into a grounded-type outlet only.
If this plug doesn’t fit directly inside your outlet, do not attempt to force
it into the outlet. Never attempt to dismantle the plug in any way
(or to alter the power cord). Do not attempt to defeat the grounding
feature by using a 3-to-2 prong adapter. If you have questions about
grounding, consult your local power company or a qualified electrician.
B. If you use rooftop devices such as satellite dishes, antennas, or any
other component with wire that connects to your PowerCenter,
be sure the wire(s) is properly grounded. This protects against
voltage surges and static charges.
C. Do not place any antenna near overhead power lines or any other
power circuit. Do not touch any power line or power circuit.
Doing so may cause severe physical injury or possibly death.
WARNING – Liquid: Avoiding Electrical Shocks
A. Do not operate your Monster PowerCenter® if liquid of any kind
is spilled onto or inside the unit.
B. Do not operate your Monster PowerCenter near rain or water
that’s spilled or contained (e.g., bathtub, or kitchen sink).
WARNING – Power Cord Safety
A. When routing your PowerCenter’s AC power cord, do not place
it near heavy foot traffic areas (e.g., hallways, doorways, and floors).
Do not create a trip hazard with the power cord.
B. If your power cord’s protective jacket begins to rip or fray, exposing
the internal wiring, shielding, etc., disconnect it from the AC power
source and discontinue use of the Monster PowerCenter immediately.
See the Warranty Information section of this owner’s manual
for important details.
WARNING – Storm Precautions
In the event of a lightning storm, it’s always a good idea to disconnect your
Monster PowerCenter from the power outlet; there is no need to disconnect
your separate AV components. Make sure that ALL of your AV components
and PC products are protected with Monster Power.
WARNING – No User Serviceable Parts Inside
If, for any reason, your PowerCenter is not operating properly,
do not remove any part of the unit (cover, etc.) for repair. Unplug
the unit and consult the Warranty Information section of this owner’s
manual for important details.
CAUTION – Exposure To Heat
Do not expose your PowerCenter to direct sunlight or place it near wall
heaters, space heaters, or any enclosed space prone to temperature increase.
CAUTION – Proper Cleaning
In general, the only cleaning necessary for your Monster PowerCenter
is a light dusting. Unplug your component from the wall outlet before
cleaning it. Do not use any type of liquid or aerosol cleaners.
