TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM – The PowerCenter is not receiving power.
Possible Cause #1
The PowerCenter is not turned on.
Possible Solutions
• Press the ON button on the PowerCenter.
• Make sure the PowerCenter’s AC power plug is plugged into a properly grounded 120V wall
outlet.
• In some households, a wall switch may need to be thrown to make the wall outlet come alive.
Try turning on the light switches located near the wall outlet powering the PowerCenter.
Possible Cause #2
Too many devices are connected, causing an overload, throwing the thermal circuit breaker. Please note: The total
power consumption on all the components powered by the PowerCenter should not exceed 1800 watts.
Possible Solutions
• Press the PowerCenter’s thermal circuit breaker (labeled BREAKER 15A on the back panel)
button in to reset. Please allow 10 minutes from the time the circuit breaker is initially thrown
before attempting to reset. If you reset too soon, the breaker will prematurely sense power
overload and not allow unit to operate.
• Disconnect any component that may be overloading the PowerCenter.
