MDP 700
Instructions and
Warranty Information

Dear Enthusiast,
THANK YOU for purchasing the Monster Power®
Digital PowerCenter 700. The MDP 700 reflects
our commitment to providing
innovative and practical solutions
to protect your home theater, AV
electronics, and computer equipment.
Today’s AV and computer electronics,
from HDTVs and DVD players,
to modems, printers and more,
all use extremely delicate digital
microprocessors. Common power
surges and spikes can easily damage sensitive digital
circuitry in computers and AV components. Even worse,
they can corrupt or destroy valuable data like digital
photos, music, videos, and important documents.
Noel Lee

The MDP 700 features Monster®Dual Mode Plus™
to protect against even the most powerful surges.
It automatically disconnects to protect your valuable
equipment and data. It also includes surge protection
for phone and network connections. With Monster
Power on your side, you’ll have the extra peace of mind
to know that your equipment and your data is protected.
Noel Lee
The Head Monster

Ordinary surge protectors have a limited surge
absorption capacity, if a powerful surge exceeds
that fixed capacity, any equipment is vulnerable
to damage or even destruction.
For advanced protection against more powerful
surges, Monster®Dual Mode Plus™automatically
disconnects to protect your valuable equipment and
data from dangerous power conditions. Dual Mode
Plus then sounds an alarm to alert you that it has
protected your system from damage.

Equipment Hookup
Connect your equipment to the PowerCenter™
and attach the corresponding cord labels.
NOTE: The outlets on your PowerCenter are labeled
for convenience. It will not harm equipment to plug
it into an outlet that’s labeled differently.

TROUBLESHOOTING
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.

Symptom Possible Cause Remedy
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.
