Surge Protector and (610-2121) Installation Faxback Doc. # 15633 Noise Filter The Radio Shack Computer Equipment Surge Protector and Noise Filter protects your valuable components from damage caused by sudden increases in electrical power from inside or outside your home. The surge protector absorbs these spikes and surges (such as those which occur when you switch air conditioners, refrigerators, and other major appliances on and off). In an unprotected computer, spikes and surges can result in data loss, input/output errors, and even system failure. It also improves the performance of connected equipment by filtering electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. 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. HOW IT WORKS When the surge protector's PROTECTED WHEN LIT light is on, the surge protector absorbs surges and spikes within the limits of its specifications. The equipment is fully protected. If a strong surge or spike damages connected equipment while the PROTECTED WHEN LIT light is on, refer to the "Radio Shack Limited Warranty and Connected Equipment Guarantee" for claim conditions and procedures. A surge or spike beyond the specified limits might overload the protection circuitry and render it inactive. 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, 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 light goes out, replace the surge protector. (llg/all-06/13/95)
