Solution
Your surge protector is not grounded. You
must move it to a different grounded, threeprong AC outlet. #
Condition
The PROTECTED WHEN LIT and
GROUNDED WHEN LIT indicators turn off,
and the surge protector sounds an alarm.
Solution
Your surge protector's AC line is no longer
protected from surges and power is not
allowed to pass beyond the alarm. When 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, it diminishes the protection
circuitry’s ability and the surge protector
sounds an alarm. If t he PR OTECTED W HEN

will not light, replace the surge protector.

Keep the surge protector dry; if it gets wet,
wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the
surge protector only in normal temp erature

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.

LIMITED WARRANTY — T his surge prote ctor p rodu ct is warra nted by Ra di oShack to th e ori gina l purch aser a gai nst m anufact uring d efect s in m ater ial and w or kmansh ip unde r nor mal use for thr ee ( 3) yea rs fro m the
date of purchase (the “Warranty Period”) from RadioShack company owned stores and authorized RadioShack franchisees and dealers. In the event of a covered product defect during the Warranty Period,
RadioShack will, at its option, unless otherwise provided by law: (a) correct the defect by surge protector repair without charge for parts and labor; (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” ), whic h is proper ly insta lled and connected (as defined below) to the surge pro tector and is damaged d uri ng th e W a rranty Period by a transient voltage surge/sp ike from the A C pow er line, te l ephon e line or coa x ial lin e that en ters th e Connecte d Eq uipment through 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 the Connected Equipment; or (c) original purchase price of the Connected Equipment, up to a maximum of twenty five thousand U.S. dollars ($25,000.00) (the “Equipment Limit”).
The Connected Equipment Guarantee does not cover data loss o r an y othe r d amag es exclud ed i n the all capi ta lized paragraph below . In or der to qualify for Connected Equi pme nt r eimbu rseme nt, t he sur ge prote ctor
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 gr ounde d AC ou tlet; no extension cords, adapters, other grou nd wires or electr ica l connectio ns may be used to co nnect the surge prote ctor to AC power and no mor e than on e pi ece
of Connected Equipment may be connected 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 operating “primary protection” device at the service entrance. Primary protection devices are normally available from the telephone company and added during telephone line installation. To claim damage to Connected Equipment as a result of coaxial line transients, the surge protector must provide coaxial line protection.
This Limited Warranty and Connected Equipment Guarantee applies only to the original purchaser of the surge protector.

RADIOSHACK HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.
To make a claim for surge-induced damage to Connected Equipment, you must:
1. Call RadioShack at 1-888-353-1560 for a return authorization number during the Warranty Period. Under no circumstances will a claim for surge-induced damage to Connected Equipment be accepted without a
return authorization number;
2. Have any surge-induced, damaged Connected Equipment repaired (or get an estimate for repair) by a service center authorized by the manufacturer of the Connected Equipment unless the service center determines that the Connected Equipment is not repairable or that the cost of repair will be more than the purchase price of comparable re placem ent equi p ment. If the Connected E quipm ent is not to be repa ired, get a
written quotation for the purchase price of comparable replacement equipment. In no event will RadioShack reimburse more than the Equipment Limit. The repair bill or estima te from the au thorize d servi ce cen ter
must indicate that the damage to the Connected Equipment was surge-induced; and
3. Ship the original surge protector, postage prepaid to: RadioShack, 7020 Koll Center Pkwy., Suite 136, Pleasanton, California, 94588. Include: (a) your name, address and daytime telephone number; (b) the original or a photocopy of the sales receipt for the surge protector; (c) a brief description of any problem with the surge protector; (d) a brief description of how the damage to the Connected Equipment occurred; (e)
the original authorized service center repair bill or estimate documenting that the damage to the Connected Equipment was surge-induced; and (f) if replacement equipment is to be purchased, the original or a
photocopy of the quotation for comparable replacement equipment and the authorized service center repair estimate must contain a statement that the Connected Equipment is not repairable or that the cost of
repair will be more than the purchase price of comparable replacement equipment.
If RadioShack determines that damage to Connected Equipment is covered, RadioShack will reimburse, up to the Equipment Limit amount defined above, to the original purchaser of the surge prote ctor the lower of
the: (a) repair charges; (b) purchase price of comparable replacement equipment; or (c) the original purchase price of the Connected Equipment. In addition, in the event of a covered product defect during the Warranty Period, RadioShack will, at its option, unless otherwise provided by law: (a) correct the defect by surge protector repair without charge for parts and labor; (b) replace the surge protector with one of the same
or similar design; or (c) refund the purchase price of the surge protector.
To make a warranty claim for a defect in the surge protector without a claim for surge-induced damage to Connected Equipment, you must, during the Warranty Period, take the surge protector and the RadioShack
sales receipt as proof of purchase date to any RadioShack store.
All replaced parts, products, and Connected Equipment and products and Connected Equipment on which a refund is made, become the property of RadioShack. New or reconditioned parts and products may be
used in the performance of warranty service. Repaired or replaced parts in surge protectors and replacement surge protectors are warranted for the remainder of the Warranty Period. You will be charged for repair
or replacement of the product made after the expiration of the Warranty Period.
This Limited Warranty and Connected Equipment Guarantee does not cover: (a) damage or failure caused by or attributable to acts of God, abuse, accident, misuse, improper or abnormal usage, failure to follow
instructions, improper installation or maintenance, alteration, lightning; (b) any repairs other than: (i) surge protector repairs provided by a RadioShack Authorized Service Facility; and (ii) reimbursement of the cost
