Power Connections To reduce standby power waste, the Managed outlets turn on only when the ECOFICIENT outlet device is turned on. These outlets turn off when the ECOFICIENT outlet device goes into standby or sleep mode, or is turned off. ECOFICIENT outlet: The ECOFICIENT outlet detects the electric current changes in the connected device and turns the Managed outlets on/off accordingly. Desktop or laptop computers are ideal for the ECOFICIENT outlet. Managed outlets: These outlets are for devices that do not need to be on all the time and can be completely turned off when not in use. These outlets are automatically switched on and off by the ECOFICIENT outlet to save energy. Some recommended devices for the Managed outlets are monitors, speakers, scanners, printers, DVD players, amplifiers, game consoles, subwoofers, etc. Always on outlets: These outlets are for devices that should be powered all the time, such as devices used for recording or scheduling, or hard drive-based devices. Some recommended electronic devices for these outlets are modems, wireless routers, fax machines, external hard drives, cable/sat boxes, DVRs, VCRs, etc. Please Note: A phone would not draw enough current to turn the managed outlets on. The Ecoficient outlet need about 60W of power draw to turn the receptacles on. The intent was that a desktop or laptop computer would normally be plugged into the Ecoficient outlet and printers, scanners multifunction devices, ect. could be plugged into the managed outlets. |

USB Charging The 2.1 USB Charge outlet on this surge protector is optimized for use with certain types of devices such as the iPad®. As a result, the 2.1 USB Charge outlet may not charge all models of all brands of your mobile devices. If any of your devices will not charge using the 2.1 USB Charge outlet on this surge protector, use the other USB Charge outlet to charge that device. This surge protector is designed to charge two devices simultaneously. However, if you plug in two devices to charge simultaneously and their combined power requirements exceed the power capacity of this surge protector, this surge protector will shut down to protect your devices. In that case, try charging each device by itself. |
