Dynex AV Surge Protector Usage
Power Connections
(all models)
1. Plug the surge protector into a grounded outlet only.
2. Plug all connected equipment directly into the surge
protector.
CAUTION:
DO NOT connect to an ungrounded outlet.
DO NOT use with 2-wire extension cords or adapters.
This surge protector is designed for indoor use only.
Install the surge protector away from heat emitting
appliances such as radiators or heat registers. Do not
install where excessive moisture is present. Do not plug
extension cords into the surge protector. Never install
electrical or telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
DO NOT USE FOR MEDICAL OR OTHER LIFE SUP-
PORT EQUIPMENT OR OTHER HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES.
Phone/Fax/Modem Connections
(some models)
Most modem damage can be prevented if you connect
the Phone/Fax/Modem through the surge protector.
If your surge protector has phone jacks:
1. Connect the Phone/Fax/Modem line from your wall
outlet to the INPUT jack on the surge protector.
2. Connect the phone cord (provided) into the OUTPUT
jack on the surge protector.
3. Connect the other end of the phone cord to the
Phone/Fax/Modem jack of the device you want to
protect.
Coax Cable Connections
(some models)
Most TV/VCR damage can be prevented if you connect
the coax cable through the surge protector.
If you are using a coax cable and your surge protector has coax
jacks:
1. Connect the Cable/Antenna line from your source to
the INPUT jack on the surge protector.
2. Connect a coax cable from the OUTPUT jack of the
surge protector to the device you want to protect.
Indicator Lights
(some models)
• In models with a “protected” light, the light should be
on when the power switch is turned on. If this light
goes out at any time, it means your surge protector
has sacrificed itself to protect your equipment and
should be replaced.
• In models with a “grounded” light, the light should be
on when the power switch is turned on. If the light
does not come on when you turn on the surge
protector, you have a ground wiring problem and
you should contact an electrician to properly ground
the outlet. Connecting your surge protector to an
improperly grounded outlet will void all Dynex
warranties.
• In models with a power switch light, the light in the
power switch lights when the unit is powered on.
Your surge protector provides maximum surge
protection even if the power switch is in the off
position.
• Some models have a Surge Stat™ indicator. In these
models, the indicator shows the current condition of
the surge protector. If the Surge Stat™ indicator
shows either Not Grounded or Exhausted, you need
to take the appropriate action as described in the first
two bullets above.

1. Brancher le parasurtenseur uniquement sur une prise
mise à la masse.
2. Brancher tous les équipements connectés directement
au parasurtenseur.
ATTENTION :
NE PAS connecter à une prise non mise à la
masse. NE PAS utiliser avec des rallonges ou des adapta-
teurs à deux fils. Ce parasurtenseur est conçu pour être
utilisé uniquement à l’intérieur. Installer le parasurtenseur à
l'écart d'électroménagers qui émettent de la chaleur tels
que des radiateurs ou des bouches de chauffage. Ne pas
installer dans des endroits très humides. Ne pas brancher
de rallonges sur le parasurtenseur. Ne jamais installer de
câblage téléphonique ou électrique pendant un orage.
NE PAS UTILISER POUR LES ÉQUIPEMENTS MÉDICAUX
OU DE SURVIE OU AUTRES ACTIVITÉS À HAUT RISQUE.
Connexions téléphone/télécopieur/
modem
(certains modèles)
La connexion du téléphone, du télécopieur ou des
modems à travers le parasurtenseur permet dans la
majorité des cas d'éviter que le modem ne soit endom-
magé.
Si le parasurtenseur utilisé a des prises téléphone :
1. Connecter la ligne téléphone/télécopieur/modem de la
prise murale à la prise d'entrée (INPUT) du parasurte-
nseur.
2. Connecter le fil téléphonique (fourni) à la prise de sortie
(OUTPUT) du parasurtenseur.
3. Connecter l'autre extrémité du fil téléphonique à la prise

Témoins lumineux
(certains modèles)
• Pour les modèles qui ont un témoin lumineux de
protection, le témoin lumineux doit être allumé quand
l'interrupteur d'alimentation est mis sous tension. Si ce
témoin lumineux s'éteint, cela signifie que le parasurte-
nseur s'est sacrifié lui-même pour protéger l'équipement
et qu'il doit être remplacé.
• Pour les modèles qui ont un témoin lumineux de mise à
la masse, le témoin lumineux doit être allumé quand
l'interrupteur d'alimentation est mis sous tension. Si le
témoin ne s'allume pas lors de la mise sous tension du
parasurtenseur, cela signifie qu'il existe un problème de
câblage à la masse. Il convient de contacter un
électricien pour mettre cette prise correctement à la
masse. La connexion du parasurtenseur à une prise qui
n'est pas correctement mise à la masse annulera toutes
les garanties de Dynex.
• Pour les modèles qui ont un interrupteur avec témoin
lumineux, ce témoin s'allume quand l'appareil est mis
sous tension. Ce parasurtenseur fournit une protection
maximale contre les surtensions mêmes si l'interrupteur
d'alimentation est en position arrêt (off).
• Certains modèles ont un témoin Surge StatMC. Sur ces
modèles, le témoin indique l'état actuel du parasurte-
nseur. Si le témoin Surge StatMC indique soit « Not
Grounded » (Non mis à la masse) ou « Exhausted »
(Épuisé), il est nécessaire de procéder de la façon
appropriée, conformément à ce qui est décrit dans les
deux premiers points ci-dessus.

1 Conecte la línea de TV por cable o antena de su fuente a
la toma de entrada (INPUT) en el protector de sobre-
voltaje.
2. Conecte un cable coaxial desde la toma de salida
(OUTPUT) del protector de sobrevoltaje al equipo que
desea proteger.
Luces indicadoras
(ciertos modelos)
•
En los modelos con una luz marcada “protected” (protegido),
la luz debería estar iluminada cuando el interruptor de
encendido se encuentra en la posición de encendido. Si esta
luz se apaga en cualquier momento, esto significa que su
protector de sobrevoltaje se ha sacrificado a si mismo para
proteger su equipo y tendrá que ser reemplazado.
• En los modelos con una luz marcada “grounded”
(conectado a tierra), la luz debería estar iluminada cuando
el interruptor de encendido se encuentra en la posición de
encendido. Si la luz no se ilumina cuando enciende su
protector de sobrevoltaje, tiene un problema de cableado a
tierra y deberá ponerse en contacto con un electricista para
conectar apropiadamente a tierra el tomacorriente.
Conectar su protector de sobrevoltaje a un tomacorriente
que no esté conectado a tierra correctamente anulará
todas las garantías de Dynex.
• En modelos con un indicador del interruptor de encendido,
el indicador se iluminará al encender el protector. Su
protector de sobrevoltaje le provee la máxima protección
contra sobretensión aunque el interruptor de encendido se
encuentre en la posición de apagado.
• Ciertos modelos cuentan con un indicador Surge Stat™. En
estos modelos, el indicador muestra la condición actual del
protector de sobrevoltaje. Si el indicador Surge Stat™
muestra ya sea Not Grounded (sin conexión a tierra) o
Exhausted (Agotado), necesita tomar acción adecuado tal
como se describe en los primeros dos puntos anterior-
mente.

LIMITED WARRANTY AND CONNECTED
EQUIPMENT GUARANTEE
By purchasing a Dynex Surge Suppressor Model DX-SP6BK, DX-SP7CBK,
DX-SP7CPBK, or DX-SP8CPBK in the United States or Canada, the original
end-user consumer purchaser (referred to as the "Initial Customer") receives a
Limited Warranty and a Connected Equipment Guarantee.
Limited Warranty. The Initial Customer receives the limited warranty
explained below (referred to as the "Limited Warranty") for the Dynex Surge
Suppressor Model DX-SP6BK, DX-SP7CBK, DX-SP7CPBK, or DX-SP8CPBK
(referred to as the "Surge Suppressor").
Connected Equipment Guarantee. Dynex provides the Initial Customer with
limited additional protection in the event that the Surge Suppressor is
defective in materials or workmanship and certain equipment plugged into
the Surge Suppressor is damaged.
This Limited Warranty and Connected Equipment Guarantee gives you specific
rights, and you may have other rights, which vary from state to state or
province to province.
If you are the Initial Customer, you are asked to read the following terms and
conditions carefully before using the Surge Suppressor. By using the Surge
Suppressor you consent to be bound by and become a party to the terms and
conditions of the Limited Warranty and Connected Equipment Guarantee
provided in this document. If you do not agree to the terms and conditions of
the Limited Warranty and Connected Equipment Guarantee, you should return
the Surge Suppressor for a full refund prior to using it.
LIMITED WARRANTY
Dynex warrants to you, the Initial Customer, that the Surge Suppressor will be
free from defects in material and workmanship one year (365 days) beginning
on the original purchase date, subject to the terms of this Limited Warranty.
This Limited Warranty gives you specific rights, and you may have other rights,
which vary from state to state or province to province.
Any Implied Warranty of Merchantability or of Fitness for a Particular Purpose,
if applicable to the Surge Suppressor, is limited in duration to the term of this
warranty. This provision shall NOT create any Implied Warranty or Merchant-
ability or of Fitness for a Particular Purpose that would not otherwise apply to
the Surge Suppressor. NOTE: Some States and Provinces do not allow
limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation
may not apply to you. The Limited Warranty does not cover or apply to:
misuse, modification, operation or storage outside environmental limits of the
Surge Suppressor, a Surge Suppressor in transit, in shipment, or in storage,
improper operation or maintenance, or use with items not designed or
intended for use with the Surge Suppressor. You must contact Dynex within
fifteen (15) days of the failure of the Surge Suppressor in order to make a
warranty claim.
What Does This Warranty Cover?
During the Warranty Period, if the original manufacturer of the materials or
workmanship of the product is determined to be defective by an authorized
Dynex repair center or store personnel, Dynex will (at its sole option): (1) repair
the product with new or rebuilt parts; or (2) replace the product at no charge
with new or rebuilt comparable products or parts. Products and parts
replaced under this warranty become the property of Dynex and are not
returned to you. If service of products and parts are required after the
Warranty Period expires, you must pay all labor and parts charges. This
warranty lasts as long as you own your Dynex product during the Warranty
Period. Warranty coverage terminates if you sell or otherwise transfer the
product.
How To Obtain Warranty Service?
If you purchased the product at a retail store location, take your original
receipt and the product to the store you purchased it from. Make sure that
you place the product in its original packaging or packaging that provides the
same amount of protection as the original packaging. If you purchased the
product from an online web site, mail your original receipt and the product to
the address listed on the web site. Make sure that you put the product in its
original packaging or packaging that provides the same amount of protection
as the original packaging. You MUST prepay all shipping costs and you are
responsible for packaging and shipment.
Dynex will inspect and examine the Surge Suppressor. If the Surge Suppressor
is defective in material or workmanship, Dynex will repair or replace the Surge
Suppressor and return it to you at Dynex's expense, or, if Dynex is unable to or
decides not to repair or replace the Surge Suppressor (if defective) within a
reasonable time, Dynex will refund to you the full purchase price you paid for
the Surge Suppressor (purchase receipt showing price paid is required).
CONNECTED EQUIPMENT GUARANTEE
The Initial Customer is protected for the lifetime of the Surge Suppressor
against certain losses due to the Surge Suppressor’s defective material or
workmanship that is directly and properly connected to electronic equipment
(referred
to as the “Connected Equipment”), subject to certain terms and conditions
provided below.
The Connected Equipment Guarantee is not "first dollar" coverage. Dynex's
obligation is reduced by any amounts that the Initial Customer is entitled to
recover from other sources regarding the Connected Equipment, including
insurance, other warranty, or extended warranty coverage, whether or not the
Initial Customer makes a claim for recovery, including but not limited to a
claim under any applicable insurance, other warranty, or extended warranty.
To be covered under the Connected Equipment Guarantee: (a) you must notify
Dynex within fifteen (15) days of the event for which you intend to make the
Connected Equipment claim; (b) the Surge Suppressor must have been
defective in material or workmanship and such defect must have directly and
proximately caused the damage; (c) the Connected Equipment must have
been damaged by a transient, spike, or surge (a “Power Disturbance”) on an AC
Power Line on properly installed, grounded, and code-compliant 120 volt
power lines in the United States and Canada, or by a Power Disturbance on
standard telephone land lines, PBX telephone equipment lines, ethernet lines,
or coaxial cables that are properly installed and connected; and (d) is directly
plugged into and properly connected to the Surge Suppressor in its original
condition which is properly operated when a Power Disturbance passes
through the Surge Suppressor and (i) exhausts the protection capacity of the
Surge Suppressor or (ii) damages the Surge Suppressor.
Further, the Connected Equipment Guarantee does not apply if the Surge
Suppressor has been operated in a failure mode or not in compliance with
Dynex operating instructions and manuals, or if the Connected Equipment has
not been operated in compliance with the instructions and manuals of
its manufacturer/vendor.
Dynex’s total liability under this Connected Equipment Guarantee is
limited to the Agreed Damage Amount (defined later in this warranty).
Making a Connected Equipment Guarantee Claim.
To make a claim for damage to Connected Equipment under the
Connected Equipment Guarantee, you must do the following:
1. Provide reasonable proof of purchase (for example, a sales receipt)
that establishes you as the Initial Customer of the Surge Suppressor.
2. Call Dynex at (800) 305-2204 (toll free) within fifteen (15) days of the
date of the event for which you wish to make a Connected Equipment
claim.
3. When you contact Dynex, identify the Surge Suppressor (by model
number) and the item(s) of Connected Equipment (by manufacturer
and model). Have information on all applicable insurance or other
resources of recovery/ payment that are available to the Initial
Customer and the name of the power utility supplier for the location
of the Connected Equipment. Dynex will then send you additional
instructions and the appropriate claim forms.
Dynex’s Duties.
Dynex will inspect and examine the Surge Suppressor and the item(s) of
Connected Equipment (or at Dynex's election, your written statement
and repair cost estimate for those item(s)). You must return the Surge
Suppressor for inspection.
If the damage to Connected Equipment is covered by the Connected
Equipment Guarantee, Dynex’s sole obligation and the Initial Customer’s
exclusive remedy is: repair (or pay the cost of repair) or replacement of
the Connected Equipment by Dynex; or at the option of Dynex, as
permitted by law, payment by Dynex to the Initial Customer the Agreed
Damage Amount for the Connected Equipment. The "Agreed Damage
Amount" for all items of the Initial Customer's Connected Equipment
shall be the lesser of the amount determined under Clause (1) or (2)
below, reduced by any amounts described in Clause (3) below:
1. The fair market value of the Connected Equipment as established by
the lower of (a) the average price the same or similar items are being
sold for on eBay®, (b) the price list of Orion Blue Book (or if such price
list is no longer published, a published or announced price list
reasonably selected by Dynex), or (c) the lowest price the same or
similar items can be purchased for in the United States; or
2. The Aggregate Limit for all Connected Equipment as set forth below,
minus:
3. The amount(s) of all payment you have or are entitled to receive from
insurance, other warranties, extended warranties, or from other
sources or persons for the Connected Equipment or damage to such
equipment so that Dynex’s maximum liability shall be reduced to
reflect all such other payments or sources of recovery.
AGGREGATE LIMIT: Model Amount
DX-SP8CPBK
$100,000.00
DX-SP7CPBK $75,000.00
DX-SP7CBK
$50,000.00
DX-SP6BK
$25,000.00
If Dynex replaces the connected equipment or pays the Agreed Damage
Amount to the Initial Customer, the Initial Customer shall transfer all
item(s) to Dynex without warranty by the Initial Customer, but free of lien
or other interest.
Dynex reserves the right to inspect the Surge Suppressor, the Connected
Equipment, and the site where the event occurred. All costs of shipping
the Surge Suppressor and the Connected Equipment to and from Dynex
for inspection shall be borne solely by the Initial Customer. Dynex
reserves the right to negotiate the cost and choose the facility at which
any repairs will take place, and Dynex must be notified and approve any
repair facility before any Connected Equipment is serviced. Any repair or
modification of the Connected Equipment or Surge Suppressor by a
facility or entity not approved by Dynex voids this Connected Equipment
Guarantee. If Dynex determines, in its sole discretion, that it is impractical
to ship the damaged equipment to Dynex, Dynex may designate, in its
sole discretion, an equipment repair facility to inspect and estimate the
cost to repair such equipment. The cost, if any, of shipping the equipment
to and from such repair facility and of such estimate shall be borne solely
by the Initial Customer. Damaged equipment must remain available for
inspection until the claim is finalized. Whenever claims are settled, Dynex
reserves the right to be subrogated under any existing insurance policies
the claimant may have.
CONDITIONS COMMON TO THE LIMITED WARRANTY AND THE
CONNECTED EQUIPMENT GUARANTEE
