Surge protector is just another set of plugs with added benefits of protecting from sudden voltage surges (hopefully). Don't have to do anything special. Use it like any power bar.And could I also just plug my computer into the surge protector when it’s off and Just leave it, or do I have to log onto it right away or somethin
As long as you shut Windows down, and the system and monitor is turned OFF...no problem.Hello,
I recently bought a surge protector and I wanted to know, will my computer be okay if I unplug it while it’s off to plug it into my new surge protector, along with my monitor?
Thanks,
Ryan

Switch on what, the 'surge protector'?Ok and what does the switch that says reset and off mean?
My montior just had the yellow light on but It was offSwitch on what, the 'surge protector'?
Reset would be to reset the circuit breaker after it tripped from too much power and it doing its thing to protect your equipment.
On/Off means.....on and off.
The little instruction manual it came with should tell you this.
Yes, it is probably OK.I forgot to turn off my monitor when I unplugged it to my surge protector will that be okay?
Should I turn my surge protector off when I’m not using it? The green light on the surge protcector says “proctected”. When it’s on.This "operation" is nothing worse and even safer than loss of power while computer is off or on. Don't see what all this fuss is about.
