Condition
The GROUNDED WHEN LIT indicator does
not light.
Solution
Your surge protector is not grounded. You
must move it to a different grounded, three-
prong AC outlet.
#
If the GROUNDED WHEN LIT still does not
light after moving the surge protector to a
grounded oultet, return the product to
RadioShack 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.
Condition
The PROTECTED WHEN LIT, ON and
GROUNDED WHEN LIT indicators turn off,
and
RESET
pops out.
Solution
Your surge protector received a current that
exceeded its capacity due to overload.
When this happens, the 15-amp circuit
breaker (located on the side of the case)
trips to prevent possible damage, and
RESET
pops out. To reset the surge
protector, disconnect one or more of the
connected devices and allow the surge
protector to cool down. Then push
RESET
in.
Condition
The PROTECTED WHEN LIT, ON and
GROUNDED WHEN LIT indicators turn off,
and the surge protector sounds an alarm.
Solution
Your surge protector's AC line is no longer
protected from surges and power is not
allowed to pass beyond the alarm. When the
surge protector receives an unusually strong
surge, the built-in protection absorbs the
surge to protect your equipment. If the surge
is strong enough, it diminishes the
protection circuitry’s ability and the surge
protector sounds an alarm. If the
PROTECTED WHEN LIT, ON and
GROUNDED WHEN LIT indicators will not
light, replace the surge protector.
