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.”

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.
