USING THE INDICATION TAGS

Your surge protector comes with pairs of indication tags to identify which device’s power cord is connected to which AC socket. Stick a large color tag on the power cord at the rear of the device and the same color small tag next to the surge protector’s target AC socket.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Condition

The PROTECTED WHEN LIT and ON 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.

Condition

The PROTECTED WHEN LIT and ON 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 and ON indicators will not light, replace the surge protector.

CARE

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.

SERVICE AND REPAIR

If your surge protector is not performing as it should, take it to your local RadioShack store for assistance. Modifying or tampering with the surge protector’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate its warranty.
