not light.
Solution
The surge protector's AC line is no longer
protected from surges; replace the surge
protector. The surge protector may have
received a power surge or spike beyond its
specified limits that might overload the
protection circuitry and make it inactive. If this
happened, the surge protector should have
absorbed enough of the surge to protect the
connected equipment, but it will not protect
against future surges and spikes
.
%#4'
Keep the surge protector dry; if it gets wet,
wipe it dry immediately. Use and store the
surge protector only in normal temperature
environments. Handle the surge protector
carefully; do not drop it. Keep the surge
protector away from dust and dirt, and wipe it
with a damp cloth occasionally to keep it
looking new.

If your surge protector is not performing as it
should, take it to your local RadioShack store
for assistance. Modifying or tampering with
the surge protector’s internal components
can cause a malfunction and might invalidate
its warranty.

protects against a power
surge of up to 6,000 volts
and 42,500 amps within 1
nanosecond (1 billionth of a
second).
