Surge Protection
Voltage fluctuation may impair the proper
functioning of sensitive electronic equipment.
Electronic devices, including computers and
many programmable appliances use components
that are designed to operate within a narrow
voltage range and may be affected by momentary
voltage fluctuations. While there is no way to
prevent voltage fluctuations, you can take steps
to protect sensitive electronic equipment.
Install UL1449, CSA-listed, plug-in surge
suppressors on the outlets feeding your
sensitive equipment. Surge suppressors come
in single- or multi-outlet styles. They’re
d e s i g n e d t o p r o t e c t a g a i n s t v i r t u a l l y
all short-duration voltage fluctuations.
Operate this product ONLY outside far away
