Tips:

• Good: Unplug all electronics when not in use if the memory function is not needed
• Better: Use a basic power strip to plug in all of your home electronics, this allows you to shut them all off with the click of a button when not in use
• Even Better: Use a basic power strip and a plug in timer to allow you to automatically shut the entire power strip off for extended periods of time when the home electronics are not in use
• Best: Use an advanced power strip with a built in timer. These units typically have three sets of power outlets on one power strip. Two outlets are constant on for items that must have constant power for memory, two strips to set a timer to operate for a set time frame, and then tow additional outlets that can be set for a separate operating timer.
