    SURGE, AUX 1, AUX 2, PRINTER, and MONITOR indicators turn on.

3.  To turn off power, press MASTER/CPU again.  All the indicators turn
    off.

Follow these steps to turn on each component individually.

1.  Press in MASTER/CPU to turn on power.  The MASTER/CPU and SURGE

PROTECTION

SURGE PROTECTION

The Power Switching Center minimizes voltage surges and noise generated by
other electrical devices.  It does not regulate voltage or current, nor
can it protect the information in computer memory against power failures
or brownouts.

When the SURGE indicator is on, the surge protection circuit is
functioning.  If the SURGE indicator does not light, the surge protector
was subjected to a power transient beyond its rated capacity and was
damaged.  The Power Switching Center still functions as a circuit breaker
and as a control device, but it no longer provides surge protection .  If
this happens, take the Power Switching Center to your local Radio Shack
store for assistance.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

If the total power draw exceeds 1,875 watts, the circuit breaker trips.
If this happens, turn off all switches on the center and reduce the power
draw by disconnecting a component from the center.  Press RESET on the
back of the center to reset the circuit breaker.
