LIMITED WARRANTY — This surge protector product is warranted by RadioShack to the original purchaser against manufacturing defects in material and workman s hip under normal use for five (5) years fro m th e dat e of
purchase (the “Warranty Period”) from RadioShack company owned stores and authorized RadioShack franchisees and dealers. In the event of a covered pr oduct defect during the Warranty Per iod, RadioShack will, at its
option, unless otherw is e provided by law: (a) correct the def ect by surge protector repai r without charge for parts and labo r; (b) replace the surge protector with one of the same or similar design; or (c) refund the purchase
price of the surge protector.
CONNECTED EQUIPMENT GUARANTEE — RadioShack warrants 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) t o t he surge protector and is damaged during th e Warr ant y Period by a transient vo lt age surge/spike from t he AC power line, telephone line or coaxial line that enters the Connected Equipment th rough
the surge protector, RadioShack will reimburse to the original purchaser of the surge protector the lower of the: (a) Connected Equipment repair charges; (b) purchase price of equipment comparable (as determined by
RadioShack) to th e Con nec te d Equi p men t; or (c) ori gin a l pur cha se pr ic e of the Con ne cte d Eq uipm ent , up to a max im um of f if ty t ho us and U.S. dollars ($50,0 00.00) (the “Equipment Limit”). Th e Connected Equipment Gua rantee does not cover data loss or any other da m ages excluded in the all ca pit alized paragraph bel ow. In order to qu alify for Connected Equipment reimbursement, the surge protector must be returned to RadioShack and
inspection of the surge protector must show 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 extens ion cords, adapters, other ground w ires or electrical co nnections may be us ed to connect the s urge protector to AC power and no m ore than one pie c e of Connected Equipment may be c onnected 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 protector. To claim damage to Connected Equipment as a result of telephone line transients, the surge protector must provide telephone line protection, and your telephone service equipment must include a properly
installed and op erating “primary pro te c ti on” device at the se rv ic e entrance. Primary protection devices are normally avail able from the telephone company and added during telephone line installation. To claim damage to
Connected Equipment as a result of coa xi al line transients, the su rge protector must prov ide coaxial line protecti on.
This Limited Warranty and Connected Equipm ent Guarantee applies only to the original purchaser of the surge prot ec t or.
