Embertec Recommends Safety First IMPORTANT: Please retain your User Manual for future use. At Embertec, we believe that safe performance is the first priority in any consumer product, so that you, our valued customer can confidently use and trust our products. We ask that any electrical appliance that you use be operated in a sensible fashion with due care and attention placed on the following important operating instructions.
• Connected plugs must be kept clean and free from defect. • Suitable for indoor use only. • Ensure the device is securely plugged into the wall socket to avoid the device slipping out. Ensure cords plugged into the device remain tangle free.

• • The ‘Computer Only’ socket (grey) is recommended for use with a laptop or desktop computer. This will ensure that constant computer power is not interrupted or removed at any time to avoid damage to your computer hardware or data files. Specifications • The ‘Power Saver’ socket (green) is recommended for peripheral devices that can be switched off automatically when the computer is not in use (e.g. monitors, printers, speakers, external hard drives and lamps).
What is the EmberCeptor PC™? The EmberCeptor PC™ automatically switches off power to peripherals connected to the power saving socket when the computer switches off or goes into sleep mode. Equipment is re-powered by simply reactivating your computer. The EmberCeptor PC™ connects to existing power boards and works with all computer equipment regardless of brand or age. NOTE: It is not guaranteed to work accurately for laptops with old or damaged batteries.
Using Your EmberCeptor PC™ Before First Use Remove any packaging and promotional material from the EmberCeptor PC™ device. Setting Up the EmberCeptor PC™ To maximise your energy saving, please ensure your computer’s power management settings are active so the computer enters sleep, standby or hibernate modes. Normally this function is found in a menu in a PC, called ‘Power Options’. In an iMac, ‘Energy Saver’ is used to tell the computer when to go to sleep.

The LED monitoring light on the EmberCeptor PC™ will now light up for 3 seconds to indicate detection of connected equipment. This also indicates the EmberCeptor PC™ is monitoring your power consumption and providing power to the ‘Power Saver’ socket and then will switch off. Your PC system is now ready for normal use. Led Monitoring Light Status The LED light on the EmberCeptor PC™ is ON whenever power has been applied to the Power Saver socket, and OFF when power has been removed.
Standby Power Down Once the Computer enters standby, hibernate / sleep or off mode, the EmberCeptor PC™ will detect this and begin the standby power down mode. During this time, the EmberCeptor PC™ will monitor the power consumption to ensure the computer is no longer being used. After approximately 60 seconds of inactivity from the user, the peripheral appliances connected to the ‘Power Saver’ socket will be switched off.
Overload Protection The EmberCeptor PC™ is fitted with a safety device that switches off the device in the event of overloading. Should the device stop working, turn off and unplug all units, and reset the safety protection button on the device before attempting to restart the device. If the device fails to operate or the safety device switches off again, ccontact Embertec by email at emberceptor@embertec.com Alternatively, visit us on our website at embertec.
Care and Maintenance To clean the outside of the EmberCeptor PC™ device, first switch off and remove the device from the power point. Then wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Never use an abrasive cleaner. When not in use, store the EmberCeptor PC™ (preferably in its original box) in a cool, clean and dry location.
Troubleshooting Guide Problem To Check The EmberCeptor PC™ is not receiving power. • If the power board has a power switch, ensure it is turned on. The EmberCeptor PC™ is not powering down my peripheral appliances. This may be caused by older laptops where the batteries are continuously recharging. • Ensure the equipment is plugged into the ‘Power Saver’ socket, not to the ‘Computer Only’ socket. The EmberCeptor PC™ has stopped working.
Disposal/Recycling To protect the environment, the EmberCeptor PC™ should be recycled, or disposed of safely at the end of its life. Please return the EmberCeptor PC™ to a recycling centre for safe recycling or disposal. http://uk.simsrecycling.
