TROUBLESHOOTING

Symptom

Possible Cause

Remedy

The Wattbox

is not receiving power.

The Wattbox

is not turned On.

• Turn the Wattbox

switch on.

Make sure the Wattbox

’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 turned on to make

the wall outlet active. Try turning on

the light switches located near the

wall outlet.

Too many devices are connected, causing

an overload, tripping the Thermal Circuit

Breaker.

• Press the Wattbox

resettable circuit

breaker button in to reset. Please

allow 10 minutes before attempting

to reset. If reset too soon, the

breaker will prematurely sense power

overload and not allow the Wattbox

to operate.

• If the circuit breaker continues to trip,

try moving one or more components

to another Wattbox

. Too much

current may be drawing through one

Wattbox

.

Component is not receiving power.

The component is plugged into a switched

outlet and the Wattbox

has not been turned

On.

• Turn the Wattbox

On.

• Or, plug the component into an

unswitched outlet.

The Wattbox

is plugged into a switched

outlet, but power on the component is not

On. In some instances, a component plugged

into a switched outlet won’t receive power

when the Wattbox

is turned On unless the

component power is also switched On.

• Turn the component power On.

Speakers emit a humming or buzzing noise.

The Wattbox

is sharing AC power with

equipment that is not properly grounded.

• Connect your Wattbox

to a

dedicated outlet.

• Try unplugging different components

from the Wattbox

one at a time to

see if the noise stops.

• If a component is discovered to be

improperly grounded, attach a copper

wire from the component’s chassis to

the Wattbox

’s grounding post.
