Please read before using this equipment.
Thank you for purchasing a RadioShack Single-Outlet Computer Equipment Surge Protector
Cube. Your surge protector lets you protect your computer and fax/modem in any location that
has an AC outlet. It protects your valuable computer equipment from damage caused by
sudden electrical spikes and surges and ensures the steady performance of connected devices
by filtering electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. Its small size makes it ideal for
travel with your notebook computer.

Do not use the surge protector with an aquarium
or near wet locations.
• This product is intended for indoor use only.
• This surge protector is not a lightning arrestor
and might not protect against lightninginduced voltage surges.
• Be sure the total wattage of all connected
devices does not exceed 1875 watts.
• Use the surge protector only with a threeprong standard AC plug. The surge protector
cannot provide protection without a grounded
AC source.
• Retain Instructions — Retain the safety and
operating instructions for future reference.
• Damage — Unplug the surge protector from
the wall outlet and replace it:

• If the GROUNDED WHEN LIT indicator does
not light, your surge protector is not
grounded. You must reconnect it to a different
grounded, three-prong AC outlet.
Operating this surge protector from a nongrounded outlet will invalidate your “Connected
Equipment Guarantee”, and puts your valuable
equipment at risk.

Your surge protector connects your fax,
modem or other data line to a telephone line.
When using telephone lines, it is important to
follow these safety precautions.
• Never install telephone wiring during a
lightning storm.
• Never install telephone jacks in wet
locations unless the jack is specifically
designed for use in wet locations.
• Never touch uninsulated telephone wires
or terminals unless the telephone line
has been disconnected at the network
interface.
• Use caution when installing or modifying
telephone lines.

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.

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
and void your FCC authorization to operate it.

We have designed your surge protector to conform
to federal regulations, and you can connect it to
most telephone lines. However, each device, such
as a surge protector, telephone, or answering
machine 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. The REN is on the bottom of your
surge protector.
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.
Your surge protector complies with Part 68 of
Rules
. You must, upon request, provide the FCC
registration number and the REN to your telephone
company. Both numbers are on the bottom of the
protector.
You must not connect your surge protector to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key telephone systems
