FAQs: V32395 8 Outlet Surge Protection Swivel Outlet w/2 USB Ports Q: Why do I need a surge protector? Surge protectors are designed to help safeguard electronic products from the dangerous effects of sudden changes in electrical voltage, caused by variations in the demand for electricity. These shifts in demand can come from turning a heavy duty appliance on or off or from an outside source such as an electrical storm. Surge protectors contain Metal Oxide Varistors (MOVs) which absorb excess electrical energy and helps to prevent it from reaching sensitive electrical equipment. Q: What is a Joule Rating? Joules refer to energy dissipation. The Joule rating indicates the maximum amount of electrical energy that a surge protector can absorb. Q: What are the green and red indicator lights by the power button? The green light indicates that the device is grounded. If the green light does not turn on it means that the grounded dual receptacle outlet that it has been plugged into is not properly grounded. The red light is the surge indicator light. When the red light is on it means that the swivel surge is protecting your connected devices against surge protection. If the red light does not turn on it means that your product has absorbed all of the surges that it can. The device will still function, but will no longer protect against surges. Q: What is the Amp output of the USB charging ports? The 2 USB charging ports provide a total of 2.1A. This is more than enough to charge most devices such as smart phones, tablets, PC’s, MP3 players, digital cameras, etc. Q: Are my USB chargeable devices also being protected from surges when they are plugged into this unit? Yes. All 6 standard grounded outlets as well as the 2 USB charging ports provide 2100 Joules of surge protection. Q: Can I charge 2 USB chargeable devices at the same time? Yes, but the charging speed will vary depending on the amperage required to charge the devices. Information Provided by Globe Electric
