Surge:
The F3’s surge protector is live as soon as
it is plugged in and switched on at the wall. It is
working as long as the indicator light is lit.
If the light is extinguished it has reached the end
of its life and you should contact us to arrange
replacement.
The F3 will continue to work in the meantime,
but surge protection will be disabled.
