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 com-
parable (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 Guarantee 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, tele-
phone 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 pro-
vide 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 MERCHANT-
ABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THE WRITTEN LIMITED WARRANTIES CON-
TAINED 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 INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OF TIME, DATA, PROPERTY, REVENUE, OR PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDEN-
TAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF 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 1-800-408-9344 for a return authorization number during the Warranty Period. Under no circumstances will a claim for surge-induced damage to Connected Equipment be accepted with-
out 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 re-
paired, 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 estimate from the autho-
rized 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 at the address provided to you when you intially called RadioShack for a return authorization number. 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 Con-
nected 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
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 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.

FCC S
TATEMENT
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. The FCC registration number is
located on the bottom of your surge protector. The REN is on the bottom of your telephone.
Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state
public utility commission, public service commission, or corporation
commission for information.
We have designed your surge protector to conform to federal regulations,
and you can connect it to most telephone lines. However, each surge
protector (and each device, such as a 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 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.
In the unlikely event that your phone causes problems on the phone line, the phone company can
temporarily discontinue your service. If this happens, the phone company attempts to notify you in
advance. If advance notice is not practical, the phone company notifies you as soon as possible and
advises you of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
Also, the phone company can make changes to its lines, equipment, operations, or procedures that
could affect the operation of this surge protector. The telephone company notifies you of these
changes in advance, so you can take the necessary steps to prevent interruption of your telephone
service.
Surge Protection
Your surge protector has built-in protection circuits to reduce the risk of damage from surges in
telephone line and power line current. These protection circuits meet or exceed the FCC
requirements. However, lightning striking the surge protector or power lines can damage your surge
protector.
Lightning damage is not common. Nevertheless, if you live in an area that has severe electrical
storms, we suggest that you unplug your phone when storms approach to reduce the possibility of
damage.

You must not connect
your surge protector to:
• coin-operated systems
• most electronic key
telephone systems
• party-line systems

Keep the surge protector dry; if it gets wet, wipe it
dry immediately. Use and store the surge
protector only in normal temperature
environments. Handle the surge protector
carefully; do not drop it. Keep the surge protector
away from dust and dirt, and wipe it with a cloth
occasionally to keep it looking new.
If your surge protector is not performing as it
should, take it to your local RadioShack store for
assistance. To locate your nearest RadioShack,
use the store locator feature on RadioShack's
website (www.radioshack.com), or call 1-800-
The Shack (843-7422) and follow the menu
options. Modifying or tampering with the surge
protector's internal components can cause a
malfunction and might invalidate its warranty and
void your FCC authorization to operate it.
