Power USB
U S E R M A N U A L
Please read the PowerUSB Basic manual for software installation
and Basic model feature descriptions. The Watchdog model will
have all
the features of the Basic model except for the Outlet-3
control. This
manual describes only the additional features of the
Watchdog model.
CAUTION
The Watchdog model is designed to prevent occasional stalling of software and other
programs by
hard rebooting the computer. These hang-ups could happen from power
interruptions, operating system (OS)
issues, or hardware glitches. If the computer locks
up frequently, then hardware needs to
be fixed at the source. Watchdog is not a
solution to the root cause of hang-ups, and frequent reboots from Watchdog can cause
OS corruption.
Please make sure the BIOS Power option is set to “Power On After Power Failure.”
This will ensure that the computer will power on when outlet power is reset and
switched on.
