Appliance Surge Protector

• Detects and protects against a power surge of up to 6,000 Volts and 10,000 Amps in 1 nanosecond (1 billionth of a
second).

• Protects connected equipment from surges of up to 230 Joules.

• Lets you connect up to six devices into your surge protector and leave them all switched on, then use the surge
protector’s Master Power Ring

• Keyhole slots allow easy mounting.

™

to turn them on or off together.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,

This symbol is intended to alert you to the pres­ence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the
product’s enclosure that might be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
Do not open the product’s case.

This symbol is intended to inform you that impor­tant operating and maintenance instructions are

Cautions:

• This surge protector is not a lightning arrestor and
might not protect against lightning-induced voltage
surges.

• Be sure the combined wattage of all connected
devices does not exceed 1,800 watts.

• Use the surge pro tec tor o nl y with a th re e-pr ong s tan­dard AC outlet or a grounded two-to-three prong
adapter. The surge protector ca nnot provide protec­tion without a grounded AC source.

• The equipment you plug into the surge protector must
have the same voltage and frequency ratings as in
“Specifications.”

Protect your valuable appliances from damage caused by
sudden increases in electrical power inside or outside
your home, caused by air conditioners, refrigerators, and
other appliances, switching on and off. Your surge pro­tector absorbs these

spikes

and

surges

. It also improves
the performance of connected components by filtering
electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.

When your surge protector’s Protected When Lit light is
lit, your surge pr otector protects your equipment by ab­sorbing surges and spikes within the limits of its specifica­tions for applianc es plu gge d i nto th e protector. If a strong
surge or spike dam ages connected eq uipment while the
Protected When Lit light i s on, refer to the “RadioShack
Limited Warranty and Connected Equipment Guarantee”
for claim conditions and procedures.

When the rated current is exce eded, the 15-amp circuit
breaker (located on the side of the case) opens to pre­vent possible d ama ge, an d i ts p lun ger pops out. T o r ese t
the surge protector, unplug one or more of the connected
devices and allow the surg e protector to cool, then push
in the plunger.

Important:

A surge or spike beyond the specified limits
might overload the p rotection circuit ry and render it i nac­tive. If this happens, the surge protector should absorb
enough of the surge to protec t the c onnec ted eq uipmen t,
but it will not protect ag ainst

future

surges and spikes. If
this happens and the Protected When Lit lig ht goes out,
replace the surge protector.
