Installation & Use

The installation of the Newer Technology Power2U is straightforward and the same as replacing a normal electrical receptacle. The Power2U is a large device; make certain that your electrical box can legally accommodate it!

Power2U Installation Steps:

1. Turn the power OFF. This is done at the electrical circuit breaker box or the fuse box. Find the circuit or fuse that corresponds to the receptacle where you will install the Power2U, then turn the circuit breaker OFF or remove the fuse before proceeding!

2. Connect the wires to the Power2U.

  • Strip the wires inside of your wall box 1/2” (13mm) to accept the Power2U device wires.
  • Connect the device’s black wire to the HOT (black) wire in the wall box.
  • Connect the device’s white wire to the NEUTRAL (white) wire in the wall box.
  • Connect the device’s green wire to the GROUND (green or bare) wire in the wall box (only if a grounding wire is available -- if not, attach the green wire to the wall box using a grounding screw).
Wire 13mm, Strip wire 13mm (1/2")

3. Fold the wires into the electrical box. Screw the Power2U into the electrical box. Screw the faceplate into the Power2U.

4. Turn the power back ON at the circuit breaker or fuse panel. Test the Power2U receptacle (125V) power outlets and the 5.2V USB outlets to verify proper operation. The USB outlets are only powered when a USB cord is plugged into the port. There is an internal switch that is depressed when the USB connector is inserted and then turns the USB power on.
