Network Equipment Surge Protector
OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.
Your RadioShack Network Equipment Surge
Protector provides excellent surge protection
against unforeseen surges such as electrostatic discharge, lightning, and ground surge.
The surge protector works with a wide variety of network communication equipment, including a personal computer (PC), plotter,
printer, fax, and answering machine. It is
also an ideal surge protector for USB hubs
and cable modems.
Important:
A surge or spike beyond the
specified limits might overload the protection
circuitry and make it inactive. If this happens,
the surge protector should absorb enough of
the surge to protect the connected equipment, but it will not protect against future
surges and spikes. If a spike occurs and the

THE FCC WANTS YOU TO
KNOW
We have designed your Network Equipment
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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Your Network Equipment 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.
Your surge protector complies with Part 68 of
FCC Rules
the FCC registration number and the REN to
your telephone company. Both numbers are
on the bottom of the protector.
