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.

ENGLISH
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, kitchen or 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 – 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.

iii
ENGLISH
CAUTION – Proper Cleaning
In general, the only cleaning necessary for your Monster PowerCenter is a light dusting. Unplug the PowerCenter
from the wall outlet before cleaning it. Do not use any type of liquid or aerosol cleaners.
CAUTION – To reduce the risk of electric shock, use only indoors and in dry locations. Do not allow the device
to be exposed to moisture, rain, dust, excessive heat or direct sunlight.
CAUTION – Connect this device to a 3-prong-grounded outlet. Make sure the circuit branch is protected
and not servicing equipment requiring heavy electricity.
Note: This equipment has been tested and complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subjected to the following conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation

ENGLISH
FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION
INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION:
To Assure Continued FCC Compliance:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the grantee of this device could void the user's authority
to operate the equipment.

PROPER GROUNDING AND INSTALLATION
WARNING – Proper Grounding
Monster PowerCenters require a properly grounded outlet for safety and to protect connected equipment.
If you’re not sure if your home’s electrical wiring is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT NOTE – Proper Power and Protection
To completely protect your equipment against electrical surges, every AC power cable coaxial cable, network line,
and phone line in the system must be connected to an appropriate PowerCenter outlet or port.
IMPORTANT NOTE – Proper Protection and the Limited Connected Equipment Warranty
The U.S. $400,000 Limited Connected Equipment Warranty becomes invalid if any wire (AC, coax, phone or network)
or audio or video interconnect leading into the equipment comes from a component that is not properly protected
by the PowerCenter. See the Warranty Information section of this owner’s manual for important details.

THANK YOU for purchasing the Monster Power®GreenPower System HTS 1900G.
This PowerCenter is designed to save energy costs by eliminating stand-by mode power
consumption. It also provides advanced power protection to keep your valuable home theater
equipment safe from dangerous power conditions, and features power filters specially tuned
for high definition AV components.
To address growing concerns about the waste and cost of stand-by or sleep mode energy use, the
1900G features Monster GreenPower™RF controlled outlets. These outlets automatically shut off to
eliminate the drain of "vampire" power. GreenPower outlets substantially reduce energy wasted by
HDTVs, DVD/Blu-ray™Disc players, subwoofers, and other components in stand-by mode.
The GreenPower outlets are controlled by the included HT 300RF wall tap. This revolutionary new
system works with the HTS 1900G to reduce energy consumption without compromising your
home theater experience. Simply plug the HT 300RF into AC wall outlet closest to your HDTV and
plug your TV into it. When you turn your HDTV off, the 300RF sends a signal to your PowerCenter
to switch off the GreenPower outlets – when you turn your HDTV back on, the PowerCenter
receives a signal to turn on the GreenPower outlets. You get all the convenience and energy
savings of GreenPower and the added benefit of being able to place your HDTV in the optimum
viewing location, instead of being limited by the length of your HDTV's power cord.
Other Monster Power breakthroughs include exclusive T2™automatic disconnect protection
circuitry and patented Tri-Mode™protection featuring an audible alarm. Tri-Mode automatically
disconnects equipment from both live power lines (line and neutral) and sounds an alarm.
A NOTE FROM THE HEAD MONSTER

ENGLISH
Microprocessor-controlled T2 takes protection a step further. T2 works with Tri-Mode circuitry to automatically
disconnect both the PowerCenter itself and your equipment from both live power lines (line and neutral) when
a dangerous surge or spike hits.
Patented Monster HD Clean Power™is specifically designed 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 thrilling 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 Monster GreenPower.
