Your surge protector complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules. You must, upon request, provide the FCC registration number and the REN to your telephone company.

You must not connect your surge protector to:

???coin-operated systems

???party-line systems

???most electronic key telephone systems

We have designed your surge protector to conform to federal regulations, and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each surge protector that you connect to the telephone line draws power from the telephone line. We refer to this power draw as the device's ringer equivalence number, or REN.

If you use more than one phone or other device on the line, add up all of the RENs. If the total is more than five (three in rural areas), your telephones might not ring. If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the line.

Condition

The GROUNDED WHEN LIT indicator does not light.

Solution

Your surge protector is not grounded. You must move it to a different grounded, three- prong AC outlet.#

If the GROUNDED WHEN LIT still does not light after moving the surge protector to a grounded oultet, return the product to RadioShack for assistance.

If the surge protector proves to be working properly, you may need to contact a professional electrician to check your outlets for proper grounding.

Condition

The PROTECTED WHEN LIT, ON and GROUNDED WHEN LIT indicators turn off, and RESET pops out.

Solution

Your surge protector received a current that exceeded its capacity due to overload. When this happens, the 15-amp circuit breaker (located on the side of the case) trips to prevent possible damage, and RESET pops out. To reset the surge protector, disconnect one or more of the connected devices and allow the surge protector to cool down. Then push RESET in.

LIMITED WARRANTY ??? This surge protector product is war- ranted by RadioShack to the original purchaser against manu- facturing defects in material and workmanship under normal use for five (5) years from the date of purchase (the ???Warranty Period???) from RadioShack company owned stores and autho- rized RadioShack franchisees and dealers. In the event of a cov- ered product defect during the Warranty Period, RadioShack will, at its option, unless otherwise provided by law: (a) correct the defect by surge protector repair without charge for parts and labor; (b) replace the surge protector with one of the same or similar design; or (c) refund the purchase price of the surge pro- tector.

CONNECTED EQUIPMENT GUARANTEE ??? RadioShack war- rants to the original purchaser of the surge protector that if any electronic equipment (the ???Connected Equipment???), which is properly installed and connected (as defined below) to the surge protector and is damaged during the Warranty Period by a tran- sient voltage surge/spike from the AC power line, telephone line or coaxial line that enters the Connected Equipment through the surge protector, RadioShack will reimburse to the original pur- chaser of the surge protector the lower of the: (a) Connected Equipment repair charges; (b) purchase price of equipment com-

its protection capacity was exhausted by a surge. ???Properly installed and connected??? means the surge protector must be plugged directly into a properly wired and grounded AC outlet; no extension cords, adapters, other ground wires or electrical connections may be used to connect the surge protector to AC power and no more than one piece of Connected Equipment may be connected to any one surge protector outlet. The wiring in the building must comply with all applicable codes (NEC, CSA, etc.), and all wires (power, telephone and coaxial) leading into the Connected Equipment must pass through the surge protec- tor. To claim damage to Connected Equipment as a result of tele- phone line transients, the surge protector must provide telephone line protection, and your telephone service equipment must include a properly installed and operating ???primary protec- tion??? device at the service entrance. Primary protection devices are normally available from the telephone company and added during telephone line installation. To claim damage to Connected Equipment as a result of coaxial line transients, the surge protec- tor must provide coaxial line protection.

This Limited Warranty and Connected Equipment Guarantee applies only to the original purchaser of the surge protector.

LIMITED FIVE-YEAR WARRANTY

AND CONNECTED EQUIPMENT GUARANTEE

Condition

The PROTECTED WHEN LIT, ON and GROUNDED WHEN LIT indicators turn off, and the surge protector sounds an alarm.

Solution

Devices connected to your surge protector are no longer protected from surges and power is not allowed to pass beyond the alarm. When the surge protector receives an unusually strong surge, the built-in protection absorbs the surge to protect your equipment. If the surge is strong enough, it diminishes the protection circuitry???s ability and the surge protector sounds an alarm. If the PROTECTED WHEN LIT, ON and GROUNDED WHEN LIT indicators will not light, replace the surge protector..

%#4'

Keep the surge protector dry; if it gets wet, wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the surge protector only in normal temperature environments. Handle the surge protector carefully; do not drop it. Keep the surge protector away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it looking new.
