LimitedWarranty and Connected
Equipment Guarantee
Ignition L.P. warrants this surge protector product (“Product”) against defects in materials
and workmanship under normal use by the original purchaser for five (5) years after the
date of purchase (the “Warranty Period”). IGNITION L.P. MAKES NO OTHER EXPRESS
WARRANTIES.
This warranty does not cover: (a) damage or failure caused by or attributable to abuse, misuse,
failure to follow instructions, improper installation or maintenance, alteration, accident, Acts of
God (such as floods) except as expressly stated herein; (b) improper or incorrectly performed
repairs by persons who are not an Ignition L.P.Authorized Service Facility; (c) consumables
(such as fuses); (d) ordinary wear and tear or cosmetic damage; (e) transportation, shipping
or insurance costs; (f) costs of product removal, installation, set-up service, adjustment or
reinstallation; and (g) claims by persons other than the original purchaser.
Connected Equipment Benefit: If the Product is properly installed and connected (as defined
below) to any electronic equipment (the“ConnectedEquipment”) and if the Connected
Equipment is damaged during theWarranty Period by a transient voltage surge/spike from the
AC power line, telephone line or coaxial line that enters the Connected Equipment through
the Product, then Ignition L.P.will reimburse the original purchaser of the Product the lesser
of: (a) the repair charges for the Connected Equipment; (b) the purchase price of replacement
equipment that is reasonably comparable (as determined by Ignition L.P.in its sole discretion)
to the Connected Equipment; or (c) the original purchase price of the Connected Equipment;
provided, however, that in no event will the Connected Equipment Benefit exceed a maximum
of one hundred thousand U.S. dollars ($100,000) (the “Equipment Limit”). The Connected
Equipment Benefit does not cover data loss and is subject to all of the limitations described in
the all capitalized paragraph below. In order to qualify for the Connected Equipment Benefit,
the Product must be returned to Ignition L.P. and inspection of the Product must show its
stated protection capacity was exhausted by a power surge.
“Properly installed and connected” means: (a) the Product must be plugged directly into a
properly wired and grounded AC outlet; (b) that no extension cords, adapters, other ground wires
or electrical connections may be used to connect the Product toAC power; (c) that no more than
one piece of Connected Equipment may be connected to any one outlet of the Product; (d) that
the wiring in the building must comply with all applicable codes (NEC, CSA, etc.); and (e) that all
wires (power, telephone and coaxial) leading into the Connected Equipment must pass through
the Product. To claim damage to Connected Equipment as a result of telephone line transients,
the Product must provide telephone line protection, and your telephone service equipment must
include a properly installed and operating “primary protection” 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 Product must provide coaxial line protection.
To make a claim for surge-induced damage to Connected Equipment, you must:
1) Call IgnitionL.P.at 1-866-829-2185for areturnauthorization numberduring theWarranty
Period. Under no circumstances will a claim for surge-induced damage to Connected
Equipment be accepted without a return authorization number;
2) Haveanysurge-induced, damagedConnected Equipmentrepaired (orget anestimate for
repair) by a service center authorized 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 purchase price of comparable replacement
equipment. If the Connected Equipment is not to be repaired, get a written quotation for
the purchase price of comparable replacement equipment. In no event will Ignition L.P.
reimburse more than the Equipment Limit.The repair bill or estimate from the authorized
service center must indicate that the damage to the Connected Equipment was surge-
induced; and
3) Ship theoriginal surgeprotector, postage prepaidto: IgnitionL.P.,4241 12th AVENUE EAST
SUITE 400, SHAKOPEE, MN 55379. Include: (a) your name, address and daytime telephone

a photocopy of the quotation for comparable replacement equipment and the authorized
service center repair estimate must contain a statement that the Connected Equipment is
not repairable or that the cost of repair will be more than the purchase price of comparable

• This surge protector is not a lightning arrestor and might not protect
against lightning-induced voltage surges.
The total wattage of all connected devices must not exceed 1,875 watts.
• Use the surge protector only with a three-prong standard AC plug.
The surge protector cannot provide protection without a grounded
AC source.
TelephoneWire Instructions

Troubleshooting
Q: The GROUNDED WHEN LIT indicator does not light.
A: Move your surge protector to a different grounded,
three-prong wall outlet. If it still does not light, return
the product to the dealer for assistance. If the surge
protector proves to be working properly, you may
need to contact a professional electrician to check
your outlets for proper grounding.
Q: The PROTECTED WHEN LIT indicator does not light.
A: Try moving the surge protector to another wall outlet.
If that does not work, replace the surge protector. It
may have received a surge or spike that it absorbed,
but may be damaged and will not protect against
future surges and spikes.
