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

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

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.

rized by the manufacturer of the Connected Equipment unless
the service center determines that the Connected Equipment is
not repairable or that the cost of repair will be more than the

ment. In no event will RadioShack reimburse more than the
