how to install Tripp Lite by Eaton Protect It!

• Choose a suitable, grounded wall outlet or power strip as the source for the surge protector’s 6-foot cord. Avoid daisy-chaining through other power strips or surge protectors.
• Place the surge protector on a stable, flat surface or mount it using compatible slots or brackets if provided. Ensure it has adequate clearance for ventilation and that the swivel light bars can operate without obstruction.
• Route cables neatly, keeping cords away from heat sources and blocking doors or foot traffic. Use cable ties or clips if available to maintain an organized setup.
• Plug the surge protector into the grounded outlet, then connect your devices to the available 10 outlets and USB ports. Group critical devices to maximize protection and minimize power draw spikes.
• Power on your connected devices and verify the indicator lights on the surge protector show proper operation. If the unit includes status indicators, ensure they reflect normal protection mode.
• Avoid overloading the surge protector by distributing high-wattage devices across multiple outlets and USB ports. Check device power requirements and respect the unit’s surge rating to maintain safe operation.
• Periodically inspect the cord and outlets for signs of wear or damage. If you notice frayed cords or warm sensations during use, disconnect devices and replace the unit or consult the manufacturer’s guidance.
