Solution
The surge protector's AC line is no longer
protected from surges; replace the surge
protector. The surge protector may have
received a power surge or spike beyond its
specified limits that might overload the
protection circui try and make i t inactive. If th is
happened, the surge protector should have
absorbed enough of the surge to protect the
connected equipment, but it will not protect
against future surges and spikes
.
%#4'
Keep the surge protector dry; if it gets wet,
wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the
surge protector only in normal temp erature
environments. Handle the surge protector
carefully; do not drop it. Keep the surge
protector away from dust a nd dirt, a nd wipe i t
with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new.

the surge protector’s internal components
can cause a mal fun ction and m ight inval idate
its warranty.
