Belkin Conserve Surge Protector - Manual

Conserve Surge Protector Conserve Surge Protector
1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Conserve energy-saving surge protector from Belkin. Many devices today are never truly
off but instead continue to consume electricity while in a standby mode. Standby mode or “phantom power” is wasted
energy and it adds up quickly. Conserve makes it easy to reduce your electricity consumption by completely turning off
the power to electronic devices when they are not in use.
To find out more about how you can save energy, go to www.belkin.com/conserve.
Please be sure to read through this User Guide carefully to ensure proper installation and setup of the Conserve surge
protector.

2. OPERATION
The Conserve energy-saving surge protector is already preset to work with the wireless remote switch. Only adjust the
channel setting if:
• You have more than one Conserve surge protector and want to control each one independently.
• You want to control more than one Conserve surge protector using the same wireless remote switch.
• You think there is interference on the preset channel and you want to try other channels.
Syncing your Conserve Surge Protector and Wireless Remote Switch
To change the channel setting, use a small screwdriver to shift the keys on the surge protector and the wireless remote
switch. Make sure the keys on the wireless remote switch and the surge protector have the same configuration (up to
eight possible settings). Example:
For ultimate convenience, control multiple Conserve surge protectors with a single remote switch. Adjust the channel
setting on each Conserve unit to match the setting on the remote switch. This will allow you to easily turn off the power to
additional devices connected to the units within range.*
Connecting your equipment
The Conserve surge protector has eight (8) outlets. The outlets
marked “Always On Outlets” are always powered when the
surge protector is plugged in. They are not switchable. These
outlets are intended for use with devices that typically need to
stay on at all times.
The outlets labeled “Remote Switched Outlets” are controlled
via the wireless remote switch. These outlets are intended for
use with devices that do not need to be on all the time or go into
standby mode when not in use. See illustration for examples.
The manual override switch on the surge protector can also be
used to turn the switched outlets on or off without the wireless
remote switch in the event the remote is lost or the battery
needs replacing.
Using the Wireless Remote Switch
An A23 (12V) alkaline battery is included. Before using the wireless remote switch for the first time, simply remove the
battery security tab from the switch. Now the switch is ready.
A green LED on the wireless remote switch will illuminate when the switch is pressed. This indicates that the signal was
sent and that the battery is OK. If you do not see the light, it is time to replace the battery. To replace the battery, see the
Troubleshooting Guide on the next page.
Conserve has a range of up to 60 feet.* Line of sight from the wireless remote switch to the surge protector is
not required.
*Actual range may vary depending on interference, building materials (e.g., masonry, metal walls), and other location-specific conditions.
