Thank you for purchasing the Home or Away Power Station Travel Surge Protector. It’s a safe and easy way to convert one (1)

protection and features 2 USB outputs, enabling the charging of up to 2 mobile devices at once. 
 
READ ME FIRST–SAFETY INFORMATION 
Grounding - This product features a three-prong grounded AC plug designed for use with a grounded three-prong power outlet. If 
the plug does not fit into the power outlet, do not force. Do not alter the plug. Contact a qualified electrician for information on 
installing a grounded outlet. Use with an ungrounded power outlet will void all Accell warranties. 
 
Adapting the Power Cord - The surge protector should be plugged directly into a properly grounded outlet. Using any extension 
cord, adapters, other grounding wires or electrical connections in conjunction with the surge protector will void all Accell 
warranties. 
 
Liquids - Do not use this product near or around water (i.e., aquariums, bathrooms, kitchens, laundry room) or in conditions that 
may expose it to liquid. Do not operate the product if liquid is spilled on or is near it.  
 
Heat - Do not expose this product to direct sunlight or place it near a heater or in an enclosed area prone to high heat. The Home 
or Away travel surge protector is not user serviceable. Should the unit become damaged or non-operational, please unplug the 
unit and consult the Warranty section of this manual for details. 
 
Low Voltage - Standard surge protectors are not designed to protect against sustained low voltage situations. Sustained low 
voltage situations can cause damage to some connected equipment. If you are in an area prone to sustained low voltage 
situations, you should purchase an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) with surge protection.
