GreenGenius™ Overview: 
1. The long 6’ power cord’s plug fits into a grounded three-prong power outlet. Please do not run the cable in traffic 
areas where cord can become damaged or pose a tripping hazard. 
2. The Power Switch also acts as a Reset for the 15-amp circuit breaker. The circuit breaker may be triggered to 
stop power flow due to overloading, high temperature or a short circuit. The Power Switch is illuminated when in 
the On position and receiving power. To reset circuit breaker, toggle the power switch. 
3. A lighted Green “Ground” LED indicates that the wall outlet is actively grounded. The surge protector must be 
plugged into an actively ground outlet to provide equipment protection and warranty compliance. 
4. A lighted Red “Surge” LED indicates that the GreenGenius surge protection is active. 
5. A lighted Yellow “Controlled Outlets On” LED indicates that power is flowing to the Controlled Outlets.  
GreenGenius™ Setup: 
1. Connect the incoming phone line (RJ11) from the wall plate to the Phone/Fax port labeled In. Connect the ports 
labeled Out to the phone, modem, fax or other devices. 
2. Master Outlet: Plug your TV or computer in the Master Outlet. The device plugged into the Master Outlet 
controls the Energy-Saving Controlled Outlets. If the device in the Master Outlet is on, the devices in the 
Energy-Saving Controlled Outlets are on. If the device in the Master Outlet is off, the devices in the Energy-
Saving Controlled Outlets are off. 
3. Non-Controlled Outlets: The Non-Controlled Outlets are always on, regardless of the device plugged into the 
Master Outlet. Use these outlets for devices that you would like to remain on, like a clock and Modem. Power to 
these outlets can be cut off using the Power Switch. 
4. Energy-Saving Controlled Outlets: Plug in all your other accessories here, such as a monitor, printer and 
external hard drive. These accessories will automatically turn on or off with the device plugged into the Master 
Outlet. When the device in the Master Outlet is turned off, the accessories plugged into the Energy-Saving 
Controlled Outlets are automatically turned off, saving energy and saving money. 
5. Setting the Sensitivity Adjustment: You may need to adjust the GreenGenius’ sensitivity. The Adjust dial turns 
easily using a screwdriver or fingernail. The Adjust dial turns only 1 rotation. Please do not force it. 
If the Energy-Saving Controlled Outlets never turn On: 1. Turn On the device in the Master Outlet. 2. Slowly 
turn the Adjust dial clockwise until the device/s in the Energy-Saving Controlled Outlets turn On. Turn Off the 
device that is in the Master Outlet. If the Energy-Saving Controlled Outlets are Off, then you are done. 
If the Energy-Saving Controlled Outlets never turn Off: 1. Turn Off the device in the Master Outlet. 2. Slowly 
turn the Adjust dial counter clockwise until the device/s in the Energy-Saving Controlled Outlets turn Off. Turn 
On the device in the Master Outlet. If the Energy-Saving Controlled Outlets are On, then you are done.  
Note: 1. During adjustment, a computer in the Master Outlet should not be in sleep or hibernate mode. 
2. If using a lamp in the Master Outlet, it must be at least 25W (incandescent) or 5W (florescent).
