  1. Connect Primary Device: Plug your main device (TV or PC) into the outlet labeled 'Control'. This device will regulate the power to the 'Switched' outlets.
  2. Connect Always On Devices: Plug any electronics that require continuous power (e.g., cable box, DVR, router, modem) into the outlets labeled 'Always On'. These outlets remain powered regardless of the control device's status.
  3. Connect Switched Devices: Plug any peripherals that only need power when your primary device is on (e.g., DVD player, game console, printer, subwoofer) into the outlets labeled 'Switched'. These outlets will turn on or off with your control device.
  4. Adjust Threshold Switch (if applicable): If your power strip has an adjustable threshold switch (located on the side), set it according to your primary device's power consumption. Refer to the suggested settings below for optimal performance:
    • Configurazione TV:
      • LCD/LED 50" or Larger: High

  • When your primary device (TV or PC) is turned SPENTO, the 'Switched' outlets will automatically cut power to connected peripherals, eliminating standby power draw. The 'Switched' LED indicator will turn off.
  • The 'Always On' outlets provide continuous power to devices that should not be turned off.
