GETTINGSTARTED
1 Download and install the Pivot Power®
Smart app on your mobile device as
outlined in the Quick Start Card. The app
will enable a Wi-Fi® connection between
your mobile device and Pivot Power
Smart.
2 Plug Pivot Power Smart into a grounded
wall outlet and press the power button to
turn it ON. When the power strip is ON,
the indicator light will glow. DO NOT plug
devices into any of the outlets at this time.
When the power strip is ON, the two
regular outlets are always ON. The two
smart outlets are defaulted to ON, but
can be controlled with the Pivot Power®
Smart app.
3 Open the Pivot Power® Smart app. Follow
the app’s instructions to connect to your
Pivot Power Smart.
Your mobile device connects by sending
light pulses into a sensor on your Pivot
Power Smart. It is best to do this in a dimly
lit environment.
4 Once you’ve connected, you can plug
devices into Pivot Power Smart
Note: DO NOT OVERLOAD the power strip.
ONLY connect the device to a grounded outlet.
DO NOT connect to an ungrounded outlet.
DO NOT extend or daisy chain with other
power strips or adapters.
USINGPIVOTPOWERSMART
You can use Pivot Power Smart to:
1 Adjust and rotate each outlet to fit
designated areas and/or large plugs
and power adapters.
2 Turn ALL outlets ON or OFF using the
main power button.
3 Control both smart outlets:
By manually turning each outlet’s switch
ON/OFF from your Pivot Power® Smart
app or using
the buttons on the side of the power strip.
By creating a power ON/OFF timer via
the Pivot Power® Smart app. Use it to set
notifications for Wi-Fi® or power status.
Note: LEDs next to each smart outlet indicate
whether that outlet is ON or OFF.Troubleshooting
If the Wi-Fi® connection has been lost,
any scheduled timers may not execute
depending on the outage time. Re-
connect the Wi-Fi® network.
If the Pivot Power® Smart app has lost
control of the smart outlets, it may be that
Pivot Power Smart has lost its connection
to the Wi-Fi® network. Try turning the
power strip OFF then ON again to restore
its connection.
If you experience a power outage, power
will cease to ALL outlets and the Pivot
Power® Smart app connection will be lost.
When power is restored, check the main
power button to ensure the power strip is
ON to regain connection.
If you can’t control the smart outlets from
a different mobile device, ensure you
are using the same account information
within the app.
If you do not get push notifications on
your mobile device from the Pivot Power®
Smart app as you have specified in the
app, please check that notifications are
turned on for Pivot Power® Smart app in
your mobile device’s notification settings.
