We have designed your surge protector to
conform to federal regulations, and you can
connect it to most telephone lines. However,
each surge protector that you connect to the
telephone line draws power from the
telephone line. We refer to this power draw
as the device's ringer equivalence number,
or REN.

LIMITED THREE-YEAR WARRANTY AND CONNECTED EQUIPMENT GUARANTEE
LIMITED WARRANTY — This surge protector product is warranted by RadioShack to the original purchaser against manufacturing defects in material and workmanship under normal use for three
(3) years from the date of purchase (the “Warranty Period”) from RadioShack company owned stores and authorized RadioShack franchisees and dealers. In the event of a covered product defect
during the Warranty Period, RadioShack will, at its option, unless otherwise provided by law: (a) correct the defect by surge protector repair without charge for parts and labor; (b) replace the surge
protector with one of the same or similar design; or (c) refund the purchase price of the surge protector.
CONNECTED EQUIPMENT GUARANTEE — RadioShack warrants to the original purchaser of the surge protector that if any electronic equipment (the “Connected Equipment”), which is properly
installed and connected (as defined below) to the surge protector and is damaged during the Warranty Period by a transient voltage surge/spike from the AC power line, telephone line or coaxial line
that enters the Connected Equipment through the surge protector, RadioShack will reimburse to the original purchaser of the surge protector the lower of the: (a) Connected Equipment repair
charges; (b) purchase price of equipment comparable (as determined by RadioShack) to the Connected Equipment; or (c) original purchase price of the Connected Equipment, up to a maximum of
twenty-five thousand U.S. dollars ($25,000.00) (the “Equipment Limit”). The Connected Equipment Guarantee does not cover data loss or any other damages excluded in the all capitalized para-
graph below. In order to qualify for Connected Equipment reimbursement, the surge protector must be returned to RadioShack and inspection of the surge protector must show its protection capacity
was exhausted by a surge. “Properly installed and connected” means the surge protector must be plugged directly into a properly wired and grounded AC outlet; no extension cords, adapters, other
ground wires or electrical connections may be used to connect the surge protector to AC power and no more than one piece of Connected Equipment may be connected to any one surge protector
outlet. The wiring in the building must comply with all applicable codes (NEC, CSA, etc.), and all wires (power, telephone and coaxial) leading into the Connected Equipment must pass through the
surge protector. To claim damage to Connected Equipment as a result of telephone line transients, the surge protector 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 surge protector must provide coaxial line protection.
This Limited Warranty and Connected Equipment Guarantee applies only to the original purchaser of the surge protector.
EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN, RADIOSHACK MAKES NO EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR
A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE DURATION OF THE WRITTEN LIMITED WARRANTIES CONTAINED HEREIN. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN,
RADIOSHACK SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY TO CUSTOMER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY LIABILITY, LOSS OR DAMAGE
CAUSED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY BY USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCT OR ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF THIS LIMITED WARRANTY OR CONNECTED EQUIPMENT
GUARANTEE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY DAMAGES RESULTING FROM INCONVENIENCE, LOSS OF TIME, DATA, PROPERTY, REVENUE, OR PROFIT OR ANY INDIRECT,
SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IF RADIOSHACK HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply
to you.
To make a claim for surge-induced damage to Connected Equipment, you must:
1. Call RadioShack at 1-888-353-1560 for a return authorization number during the Warranty Period. Under no circumstances will a claim for surge-induced damage to Connected Equipment be ac-
cepted without a return authorization number;
2. Have any surge-induced, damaged Connected Equipment repaired (or get an estimate for repair) by a service center authorized by the manufacturer of the Connected Equipment unless the ser-
vice 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 RadioShack 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 the original surge protector, postage prepaid to: RadioShack, 7020 Koll Center Pkwy, Suite 136, Pleasanton, California, 94588. Include: (a) your name, address and daytime telephone num-
ber; (b) the original or a photocopy of the sales receipt for the surge protector; (c) a brief description of any problem with the surge protector; (d) a brief description of how the damage to the Con-
nected Equipment occurred; (e) the original authorized service center repair bill or estimate documenting that the damage to the Connected Equipment was surge-induced; and (f) if replacement
equipment is to be purchased, the original or 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 replacement equipment.
If RadioShack determines that damage to Connected Equipment is covered, RadioShack will reimburse, up to the Equipment Limit amount defined above, to the original purchaser of the surge pro-
tector the lower of the: (a) repair charges; (b) purchase price of comparable replacement equipment; or (c) the original purchase price of the Connected Equipment. In addition, in the event of a cov-
ered product defect during the Warranty Period, RadioShack will, at its option, unless otherwise provided by law: (a) correct the defect by surge protector repair without charge for parts and labor; (b)
replace the surge protector with one of the same or similar design; or (c) refund the purchase price of the surge protector.
To make a warranty claim for a defect in the surge protector without a claim for surge-induced damage to Connected Equipment, you must, during the Warranty Period, take the surge protector and
the RadioShack sales receipt as proof of purchase date to any RadioShack store.
All replaced parts, products, and Connected Equipment and products and Connected Equipment on which a refund is made, become the property of RadioShack. New or reconditioned parts and
products may be used in the performance of warranty service. Repaired or replaced parts in surge protectors and replacement surge protectors are warranted for the remainder of the Warranty
Period. You will be charged for repair or replacement of the product made after the expiration of the Warranty Period.
This Limited Warranty and Connected Equipment Guarantee does not cover: (a) damage or failure caused by or attributable to acts of God, abuse, accident, misuse, improper or abnormal usage,
failure to follow instructions, improper installation or maintenance, alteration, lightning; (b) any repairs other than: (i) surge protector repairs provided by a RadioShack Authorized Service Facility;
