TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom Possible Cause Remedy
The PowerCenter is
not receiving power. The PowerCenter
is not turned on. • Turn the PowerCenter switch on.
• Make sure the PowerCenter’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 thrown to make the wall plug
come alive. Try turning on the light switches
located near the wall unit powering the
PowerCenter.
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. • Press the PowerCenter Thermal Circuit Breaker
button (labeled as RESET below the power
cord) in to reset. Please allow 10 minutes from
the time the circuit breaker is thrown before
attempting to reset. If you reset too soon, the
breaker will prematurely sense power overload
and not allow unit to operate.
• If the Circuit Breaker continues to trip, try
moving one or more components to another
PowerCenter. You may be drawing too much
current through one PowerCenter.
