OWNER’S MANUAL — Please read before using this equipment.  
Thank you for purchasing the RadioShack 8-Outlet Computer Network Equipment Surge  
Protector. It protects your valuable computer network equipment from damage caused by  
sudden electrical spikes and surges. Your surge protector absorbs electrical spikes and  
power surges, and ensures steady performance of the connected devices by filtering  
electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. .

We have designed your surge protector to  
conform to federal regulations, and you can  
connect it to most telephone lines. However,  
each surge protector that you connect to the  
telephone line draws power from the  
telephone line. We refer to this power draw  
as the device's ringer equivalence number,  
or REN.

Your surge protector complies with Part 68  
of FCC Rules. You must, upon request,  
provide the FCC registration number and the  
REN to your telephone company.  
You must not connect your surge protector  
to:  
If you use more than one phone or other  
device on the line, add up all of the RENs. If  
the total is more than five (three in rural  
areas), your telephones might not ring. If  
ringer operation is impaired, remove a  
device from the line.

LIMITED WARRANTY — This surge protector product is war-  
ranted by RadioShack to the original purchaser against manu-  
facturing defects in material and workmanship under normal use  
for five (5) years from the date of purchase (the “Warranty  
Period”) from RadioShack company owned stores and autho-  
rized RadioShack franchisees and dealers. In the event of a cov-  
ered product defect during the Warranty Period, RadioShack will,  
at its option, unless otherwise provided by law: (a) correct the  
defect by surge protector repair without charge for parts and  
labor; (b) replace the surge protector with one of the same or  
similar design; or (c) refund the purchase price of the surge pro-  
tector.  
CONNECTED EQUIPMENT GUARANTEE — RadioShack war-  
rants to the original purchaser of the surge protector that if any  
electronic equipment (the “Connected Equipment”), which is  
properly installed and connected (as defined below) to the surge  
protector and is damaged during the Warranty Period by a tran-  
sient voltage surge/spike from the AC power line, telephone line  
or coaxial line that enters the Connected Equipment through the  
surge protector, RadioShack will reimburse to the original pur-  
chaser of the surge protector the lower of the: (a) Connected

its protection  
was exhausted by  
a
surge. “Properly  
installed and connected” means the surge protector must be  
plugged directly into a properly wired and grounded AC outlet;  
no extension cords, adapters, other ground wires or electrical  
connections may be used to connect the surge protector to AC  
power and no more than one piece of Connected Equipment  
may be connected to any one surge protector outlet. The wiring  
in the building must comply with all applicable codes (NEC, CSA,  
etc.), and all wires (power, telephone and coaxial) leading into  
the Connected Equipment must pass through the surge protec-  
tor. To claim damage to Connected Equipment as a result of tele-  
phone line transients, the surge protector must provide  
telephone line protection, and your telephone service equipment  
must include a properly installed and operating “primary protec-  
tion” device at the service entrance. Primary protection devices  
are normally available from the telephone company and added  
during telephone line installation. To claim damage to Connected  
Equipment as a result of coaxial line transients, the surge protec-  
tor must provide coaxial line protection.  
If the surge protector proves to be working  
properly, you may need to contact a  
professional electrician to check your outlets  
for proper grounding.
