STEP 2 Outlet Programming NOTE: All PowerCenter outlets located on the rear panel are “programmable”. In order to program each outlet pair, you must use the recessed slide switches (fig.2). There are two recessed slide switches for each outlet pair that enable you to program between ”unswitched“, ”switched on“, and ”switched on after delay“ settings. You can change the 1 settings, when necessary. Using the outlet pair labeled as an example, the following diagrams illustrate how to program
