Belkin, on thread below, says they don't make this protector or others that are always on. What the heck does this mean? Does it shut itself off?

Wow! You couldn't ask a simple question, like how do you like it's features ? I never noticed if it shuts off, but I really like the swivel outlet feature, It actually allow you to use every outlet, even with most electronic devices chargers, and all their weird shapes. I love it. I will however check it at night to see if it shuts off by itself ! Maybe it does if nothing you have plugged in, is turned on.

I know this won't be helpful, but if it monitors power usage and finds nothing is in use, maybe it does. Even when it's plugged in the surge protector uses power. Unplug everything and see if it powers down.

Hi, If there are no devices connected to the surge protector, the Protected light would be off. It would just turn on if there are some devices connected to it. However, if there are no lights are turned on from the surge protector even though there are devices connected to it then it means that there's a problem with the surge protector. Thanks, Belkin Support http://www.belkin.com/us/support

I ordered this because they say here it does not auto off but when it came it says it does in 2 hours and I tried it and it does turn off in 2 hours. What is up? I am going to try disabling it.

Go to Belkin.com and look at what they have. This one works great, don't have to reset much. High speed etc.

When switched off, no power gets to your appliance, so I cannot see how a power surge would effect the appliance. However, the Belkin switch may be *fried* after a power surge.

I don't have an answer for you. My guess is your unit is "fried". I had two friends who had surge protector power strips, not Sidesocket, catch fire. I'm glad they were home!

Evidently the CP free software "Power Panel Personal Edition" enables the shutting off of the alarm. I say "evidently" because I'm running this UPS as backup for my NAS (a Synology DS-213) and router, not a computer....and I couldn't do it anyhow, because all our computers are Macs, with which this software isn't compatible. The NAS has limited software showing the basic functioning of the CP685AVR, but not really much in the way of controls. The few times the power's gone down, I haven't heard the alarm, but all that stuff is in a closet, so it may not even be audible when this happens. I'll have to yank the plug sometime just to see what it does. Evidently the CP free software "Power Panel Personal Edition" enables the shutting off of the alarm.

It sounds like there may be an issue with the device. My unit simply shuts off with no alarm whatsoever. You may want to contact the seller for more information and/or an exchange.

Well I have this strip but it didn't list it and Belkin doesn't make this brand any more. There is a newer version that is listed at 1800J. Here is a link on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Outlet-Protector-Telephone-Protection/dp/B000JEACFK/ref=pd_sim_sbs_e_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=0ZTVHR271WGRDJ253FCW The info on Belkin site is at http://www.belkin.com/us/BP108200-06/p/P-BP108200-06/

I have the same problem with this, as does my friend who also bought one. After we each sent one back we just figured it was a flaw in the printer and we just deal with it. It is a good idea to shut it off when you shut down for the day. It seems to stay connected for several hours before it loses the connection. I keep mine off until I am going to need it and when I turn it on it works fine. Not ideal but it avoids the frustration

It shouldn't power off completely. At most it should power down to the low fan setting.

I don't know. I just know that Belkin provides lousy product support so I'm advising people to avoid them.

Mine does the same thing. It stays on indefinitely, so must be a timer issue. I have contacted Amazon and they are sending a replacement.

When it turns off the search protector is doing its job by turning off in means you have to much power going in.. Ok

Whatever it had did not work properly as my equipment was destroyed after a surge. Belkin tested it and said it was fine. If it was fine, why was my equipment damaged? I lost thousands. Word from Belkin, "Claim Denied"! (go away pesky customer). Never again.

I did have a problem with my Diskstation not waking up at one time so I just switched off the sleep function. For me, I'd much rather have the unit awake and available at all times than save a couple dollars in electricity. If you do want this feature then you might want to make sure you have "wake on LAN" enabled and also make sure that your firewall isn't blocking the incoming request to wake the diskstation up.

there is an outlet in green power mode that is considered the main connection. If the device plugged in to it is turned off, then none of the other devices will come on either. Look and see what you have plugged in to that spot and make sure it is turned on when you want the other things to come on. I have my computer plugged in there and my printer, scanner, speakers,etc. plugged in to the other power mode outlets. When I turn off my computer, all the others go off too.
