Appliance Surge Protector

• Detects and protects against a power surge of up to 6,000 Volts and 10,000 Amps in 1 nanosecond (1 billionth of a 

second).

• Protects connected equipment from surges of up to 230 Joules.
• Lets you connect up to six devices into your surge protector and leave them all switched on, then use the surge 

protector’s Master Power Ring

 

to turn them on or off together.

• Keyhole slots allow easy mounting.

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 stan-

dard AC outlet or a grounded two-to-three prong
adapter. The surge protector cannot provide protec-
tion without a grounded AC source.

• The equipment you plug into the surge protector must

have the same voltage and frequency ratings as in
“Specifications.”

WARNING:

 To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, do not ex-

pose this product to rain or moisture.

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. 

DO NOT OPEN.

CAUTION:

 TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,

DO NOT REMOVE COVER OR BACK. NO USER-SERVICE-
ABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED PER-
SONNEL.

This symbol is intended to alert you to the pres-
ence of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the
product’s enclosure that might be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
Do not open the product’s case.

This symbol is intended to inform you that impor-
tant operating and maintenance instructions are
included in the literature accompanying this prod-
uct.

Protect your valuable appliances 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 pro-
tector absorbs these 

spikes

 and 

surges

. It also improves

the performance of connected components by filtering
electromagnetic 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 for appliances plugged into the protector. 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 procedures. 

When the rated current is exceeded, the 15-amp circuit
breaker (located on the side of the case) opens to pre-
vent 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 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.
