Connecting your devices to the Hama 00116079 Power Strip safely is easy. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Socket Compatibility: Always plug the Hama power strip into a properly installed and easily accessible socket connected to the public power supply.
- Power Consumption Awareness: Check the total power consumption of all your connected devices. Ensure it does not exceed the maximum throughput rating specified for the Hama 00116079 Power Strip to avoid overloading.
- Device Preparation: Before connecting any devices, make sure they are switched OFF. The surge arrester should always be connected between your devices and a protective contact socket.
- Powering Up/Down: Use the On/Off switch on the power strip to disconnect the product from the power supply. If there is no switch, unplug the power cord from the socket.
- Surge Protection Check: Pay attention to the maximum surge protection capabilities indicated on the product's type plate. The red LED on the surge arrester indicates the protection status. If the light is OFF after switching on, the overvoltage protection has been triggered, meaning your connected devices are no longer protected. Replace the power strip if this happens.
