AV ADVANCED POW

Power connection – The Advanced Pow (APS+) must be plugged 

into a grounded outlet to be properly surge protected. Use of an extension 

cord, adaptor, or other power strip/surge protector in conjunction with the 

APS+ will void all warranties.
Resettable circuit breaker –  If the surge, ground, and switched LEDs are 

not lit and/or connected devices are not receiving power, press the circuit 

breaker to activate power.
Operation button – Push the button to enter Bluetooth pairing mode, and 

reset product to its factory default.
Bluetooth LED indicator – This LED indicates connection status and pairing 

mode.
RJ11 port – Plug the multi-sensor into this port. There will be a soft, audible 

“click” when the connector is inserted correctly.
Surge LED – All outlets on the APS+ are surge protected. When lit green, 

this LED indicates that the surge protection is functioning. If not lit or goes out 

at any time, the APS+ sacrificed itself to protect your electronics and must be 

replaced.
Ground LED – When lit green, this LED indicates that the APS+ is correctly 

grounded. If not lit, there is a grounding problem, and you must contact an 

electrician to properly ground the outlet. Surge protection will not work with an 

improperly-grounded outlet.
Switched LED – When lit, it indicates that the switched outlets are receiving 

power.
Multi-sensor – The multi-sensor is connected to the powerstrip via the RJ11 

port marked “sensor.” 
Always-on outlets – Electronics that require continuous power should be 

plugged into the always-on outlets. These typically include cable or set-top 

boxes, DVRs and gaming consoles with HDDs.
< tv > outlet – The outlet marked < tv > is the control outlet. IMPORTANT: 

The TV must be plugged into this outlet.
Switched outlets – If  the TV is turned off, or if there is no IR remote activity 

or motion detected, these outlets will switch off. 
TAV-Link™ cable (optional, not supplied) – TAV-Link will send high-level 

CEC commands to HDMI-connected devices, allowing them to safely store 

their data and settings prior to powering down.
