We have designed your surge protector to
conform to federal regulations, and you can
connect it to most telephone lines. However,
each surge protector 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.

Your surge protector complies with Part 68
of FCC Rules. You must, upon request,
provide the FCC registration number and the
REN to your telephone company.
You must not connect your surge protector
to:
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.

Operating this surge protector from a non-
grounded outlet will invalidate your “Connected
Equipment Guarantee” and puts your valuable
equipment at risk.
If the surge protector proves to be working
properly, you may need to contact a
professional electrician to check your outlets
for proper grounding.
Condition
The PROTECTED WHEN LIT, ON and
GROUNDED WHEN LIT indicators turn off,

Solution
Your surge protector received a current that
exceeded its capacity due to overload.
When this happens, the 15-amp circuit
breaker (located on the side of the case)
trips to prevent possible damage, and
RESET pops out. To reset the surge
protector, disconnect one or more of the
connected devices and allow the surge
protector to cool down. Then push RESET in.
Condition
The PROTECTED WHEN LIT, ON and
GROUNDED WHEN LIT indicators turn off,

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 the

LIMITED FIVE-YEAR WARRANTY AND CONNECTED EQUIPMENT GUARANTEE
LIMITED WARRANTY — This surge protector product is warranted by RadioShack to the original purchaser against manufacturing defects in material and workmanship under normal use for five (5) years from 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”), which is properly installed and connected
(as defined below) to the surge protector and is damaged during the Warranty Period by a transient voltage surge/spike from the AC power line, telephone line or coaxial line that enters the Connected Equipment 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 fifty thousand U.S. dollars ($50,000.00) (the “Equipment Limit”). The Connected Equipment Guar-
antee does not cover data loss or any other damages excluded in the all capitalized paragraph below. In order to qualify 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 extension cords, adapters, other ground wires or electrical connections may be used to connect the surge protector to AC power and no more than one piece 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.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, RADIOSHACK MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PUR-
POSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THE WRITTEN LIMITED WARRANTIES CONTAINED HEREIN. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, RADIOSHACK SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR
RESPONSIBILITY TO CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LIABILITY, LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE
PRODUCT OR ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR CONNECTED EQUIPMENT GUARANTEE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM INCONVE-
NIENCE, LOSS OF TIME, DATA, PROPERTY, REVENUE, OR PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF RADIOSHACK HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POS-
SIBILITY 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 replacement equipment. If the Connected Equipment is not to be repaired, get a written quo-
tation for the purchase price of comparable replacement equipment. In no event will RadioShack reimburse more than the Equipment Limit. The repair bill or estimate from the authorized service center 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 au-
thorized 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 quo-
tation 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 protector 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 instruc-
tions, 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 of initial
repairs to Connected Equipment performed by a service center authorized by the manufacturer of the Connected Equipment; (c) consumables such as fuses or batteries; (d) cosmetic damage; (e) transportation, shipping
or insurance costs; or (f) costs of product or Connected Equipment removal, installation, set-up service adjustment or reinstallation.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
