Thank you for purchasing the Transparent PowerBank 8 (we call it the P8 for short). With this product you

The PowerBank 8 must be used with the correct voltage to avoid damage to the unit and
associated equipment. Please read the instruction manual carefully before operating your P8.
The PowerBank 8 is one of the finest line conditioning power strips available. It also features the
additional security of surge protection without any of the performance drawbacks normally asso-
ciated with surge protectors. Your new PowerBank 8 has 8 hospital grade grounded outlets. The 4
green dots on the bottom of each duplex indicate that all 8 outlets are hospital grade. You can select
2 levels of AC line noise filtering on the faceplate of the PowerBank. Transparent PowerLink power
cords provide additional filtering and isolation when used with the PowerBank 8. Transparent power
products effectively isolate components, remove line noise and modulation distortion, and suppress
spikes and surges without the use of transformers, chokes or other series filtering devices which
limit current capability and add distortions. These unique products are the most transparent way to
clean up the power going into your high end audio and video components for cleaner sound and
picture coming out.
All Transparent Power Products have a limited two year warranty on parts and labor. This warranty
is also extendable to five years to the original owner. Please consult your warranty card for details.

Before plugging in the PowerBank 8, be sure that it has the correct voltage for your application.
The voltage is marked on the packaging as well as on the unit itself. Use of the P8 with incorrect
voltage can result in an unsafe condition and cause damage to the unit and your equipment.
Damage resulting from the use of the unit with improper voltage is not covered by the warranty.
2
Plug the PowerBank 8 directly into a grounded wall outlet. The PowerBank 8 must be plugged
into a grounded wall outlet to be covered by the Transparent Audio Connected Equipment
Warranty (see back page). Most 3-prong AC outlets are grounded but there are many exceptions,
especially in older homes. If the P8 is plugged into a non-grounded outlet the red LED labeled
GROUND FAULT
will illuminate. Use of the P8 in a non-grounded outlet will void the Connected
Equipment Warranty and will reduce the level of surge protection to your components. Contact
an electrician to have a grounded outlet installed for your system.

The switch on the front panel labeled
SWITCHED OUTLETS
controls power to the 4 white
outlets. When the switch is depressed to the right, with the red mark visible, the white outlets are
activated. The green LED labeled
SWITCHED OUTLETS ON
will illuminate whenever the white
outlets are active.

The red and gray outlets are unswitched and remain active whenever the P8 is plugged into the
wall. The green LED labeled
UNSWITCHED OUTLETS ON
will illuminate whenever the P8 is
plugged into an active AC outlet.
