[. . . ] The Power BlockerTM 2 instant reset feature protects the AC lines, and is not applicable to telephone or coaxial lines. Standard surge protectors are not designed to protect against sustained low voltage situations. Sustained low voltage situations can cause damage to some connected equipment. If you are in an area prone to sustained low voltage situations, you should purchase an Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) with surge protection. [. . . ] No surge protector will entirely protect against a direct lightning strike. The surge protector itself is expected to be damaged, thus performing its duty, and you must purchase a new unit to replace the damaged unit.

Installation instructions Power Connections Your Philips surge protector should be plugged directly into a properly grounded outlet. All connected equipment should be plugged directly into your surge protector. Using any extension cord, adapters, other grounding wires or electrical connections in conjunction with a Philips surge protector will void all Philips warranties. (For longer cord applications, use a Philips surge protector with a 10 or 12 foot power cord. ) All wires leading into the equipment, including telephone and coaxial lines, must pass through an appropriate Philips surge protector. Philips surge protectors use an indicator display light to alert you to your surge system's effectiveness. The "Protection Working" indicator light shows "ON" when surge protection circuitry is functioning properly. If that light is off, it indicates that your surge unit has reached capacity and is no longer able to protect against surges. Some units also have a "Ground" indicator light to show you that the wall outlet is wired properly. Phone/Fax/Modem Connections Some Philips surge protector models come with Solid State Phone/Fax/Modem surge protection. Instead of running a connection directly from your Phone/ Fax/Modem to the wall jack, you must pass the connection through the protected jacks on your surge protector.
