61-2429

Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack 6 Foot SurgeCord. Your SurgeCord surge protector is easy to install. Simply remove the detachable power cord from your equipment, plug in the surge protector, and your equipment is protected. You can also protect connected equipment from telephone line surges.

OWNER’S MANUAL Please read before using this equipment.

Your surge protector connects directly to a modular telephone line jack. If your telephone wiring does not have a modular jack, you can update the wiring yourself using jacks and adapters (available at your local RadioShack store), or have the

telephone company update the wiring for you. You must use compatible modular jacks that are compliant with Part 68 of FCC Rules and the requirements adopted by ACTA. The telephone cord and modular plug provided is Part 68 compliant for connecting to the telephone company network.

If 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 however, it will deplete the ability of the protection circuitry. If the LED does not light, the surge protector's AC line is no longer protected from surges. Replace the surge protector.

Some examples of equipment your 6 Foot SurgeCord protects:

•Computer CPU

•Monitor

•Printer

•Telephone

•Answering Machine

•Fax Machine

Female Connectors
