Connecting Your Equipment to Surge Protection Devices
Here are some simple instructions to help you install your
surge protection equipment. If you have questions, e-mail
us or call us toll-free at 1-888-284-3561.
Wall-Mount & Plug-Strip Devices

1. Plug the protector directly into the wall socket.
2. Plug in the item(s) you want protected into the surge
protection device.
3. If the surge protector has telephone protection, plug
in the supplied phone cord from your wall phone jack to the surge protector
"input" jack. Plug the cord from your phone into the "output"
jack.
4. If the surge protector has coax cable protection, connect
the coax cable from the outside antenna to the "input" jack and your
TV's coax cable to the "output" jack.
5. Turn the power switch "ON". The indicator lights
should be on after the unit has been installed.
Tips and Troubleshooting:
- If the indicator lights don't work, the problem could
be in your home's wiring. Use another protector to see if the same problem
occurs. If so, you may want to call an electrician to determine the problem.
- Incorrect grounding or the lack of grounding can render
the protector ineffective. Proper grounding is important to prevent shock.
- Surge protection products are designed for indoor use.
Avoid areas with large moisture content (such as basements). If you need to
use an extension cord to supply power to the equipment, the surge protector
must be plugged into the extension cord and the equipment to be protected
must be plugged directly into the surge protector.
- Important: Never install phone cords or coax cables
during thunderstorms.
