Satellite and Home Theater Surge Protector
• Detects and protects against a power surge of up to 6,000 Volts and 61,000 Amps in 1 nanosecond (1 billionth of a
second).
• Protects connected equipment from surges of up to 1,080 Joules.
• Lets you plug up to eleven devices into your surge protector (four switched and seven unswitched), then use the
surge protector’s Master Power Ring
™
to turn the devices you plugged into the four switched outlets on or off
together.
• Convenient right angle plug.
• Has coaxial connectors for protection against surges through cable TV or antenna cables.
• Has modular phone jacks for protection against surges through telecommunication wires.
Cautions:
• This surge protector is not a lightning arrestor
and might not protect against lightning-induced
voltage surges.
• Be sure the combined wattage of all connected
devices does not exceed 1,800 watts.
• Use the surge protector only with a three-prong
standard AC outlet or a grounded two-to-three
prong adapter. The surge protector cannot pro-
vide protection without a grounded AC source.
• The equipment you plug into the surge protector
must have the same voltage and frequency rat-
ings as in “Specifications.”

Protect your valuable components from damage caused
by sudden increases in electrical power inside or outside
your home, caused by air conditioners, refrigerators, and
other appliances switching on and off. Your surge protec-
tor absorbs these
spikes
and
surges
. It also improves the
performance of connected components by filtering elec-
tromagnetic and radio frequency interference.
When your surge protector’s Protected When Lit light is
lit, your surge protector protects your equipment by ab-
sorbing surges and spikes within the limits of its specifica-
tions. If a strong surge or spike damages connected
equipment while the Protected When Lit light is on, refer
to the “RadioShack Limited Warranty and Connected
Equipment Guarantee” for claim conditions and proce-
dures.
Your surge protector’s Grounded When Lit light shows
the surge protector is properly grounded. If it does not
light, check your wiring for proper grounding.
When the rated current is exceeded, the resettable 15-
amp circuit breaker (located on the side of the case)
opens to prevent possible damage, and its plunger pops
out. To reset the surge protector, unplug one or more of
the connected devices and allow the surge protector to
cool, then push in the plunger.
Important: A surge or spike beyond the specified limits
might overload the protection circuitry and render it inac-
tive. If this happens, the surge protector’s Protection Fail-
ure Alarm sounds. 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
this happens and the Protected When Lit light goes out,
replace the surge protector.
