Fireproof MOV Technology Protects Your Equipment
and Your Home
Power surges can harm not only your valuable
home theater equipment but can also start a fire in
your home – even if you’re using a surge protector.
Ordinary surge protectors use plastic-coated MOVs
– metal oxide varistors – to absorb excess voltage. But powerful surges can overheat
and melt the plastic coating, potentially causing a fire.
This Monster Surge Protector features ceramic-encased MOVs for superior fire
protection. The ceramic enclosure is made of fireproof material similar to that used
on the space shuttle to give you peace of mind that your home theater and, more
importantly, your home is safe.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and observe the following safety points at all times.
WARNING – Power Sources
Do not plug this surge protector into a power outlet that differs from the source
indicated for safe use on the Surge protector. 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 surge protector 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.

ENGLISH
B. If you use rooftop devices such as satellite dishes, antennas, or any other
component with wire that connects to your surge protector, 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 Surge Protector if liquid of any kind is spilled onto
or inside the unit.
B. Do not operate your Monster Surge Protector near rain or water that’s spilled
or contained (e.g., bathtub, or kitchen sink).
WARNING – Power Cord Safety
A. When routing your surge protector’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 surge protector immediately. See the Warranty Information section
of this owner’s manual for important details.

ENGLISH
WARNING – No User Serviceable Parts Inside
If, for any reason, your surge protector 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 surge protector 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 Surge Protector is a light
dusting. Unplug your component from the wall outlet before cleaning it. Do not
use any type of liquid or aerosol cleaners.

The surge protector is not
receiving power.
The surge protector is not turned On.
Too many devices are connected, causing an overload,
tripping the Circuit Breaker.
• Turn the surge protector switch on.
• Make sure the surge protector’s AC power plug is plugged into a properly grounded 120 volts (nominal)
wall outlet.

surge protector is turned On unless the component power is
also switched On.
• Turn the surge protector On.
• Turn On the component plugged into the Switched outlet.
Speakers emit a humming
or buzzing noise.
The surge protector is sharing AC power with equipment
that is not properly grounded.
• Connect your surge protector to a dedicated outlet.
• Try unplugging different components from the surge protector one at a time to see if the noise stops.
• Make sure all components are plugged into surge protector.
“Ground OK” Diagnostic Indicator Light
