2. Set On/Off on the surge protector to Off .
3. Connect the coaxial cable from a satellite dish or
antenna to the surge protector’s coaxial Satellite In or
Antenna In jack. Then use an F-connector coaxial
jumper cable (not supplied) to connect the surge pro-
tector’s matching
Satellite Out or Antenna Out jack to
the receiver’s input jack.
Note: For the best connections, use cables with
screw-on F-connectors.
4. Connect a modular telephone cord (not supplied)
from the surge protector’s modular Telephone In jack
to a standard telephone wall jack. Then connect the
surge protector’s modular
Telephone Out jack to the
IRD (integrated receiver decoder) box.
5. Plug the AC power cords from your television, IRD,
VCR, and stereo into the surge protector’s AC outlets.
Then plug the surge protector into a standard AC out-
let.
Note: You can plug other equipment into accessory
outlets on your audio/video equipment, but this
affects the total combined wattage.
6. When all connections are complete, set On/Off on the
surge protector to On . The green Protected When Lit
Power Ring lights.

FCC INFORMATION
This surge protector has been tested and found to comply
with all applicable UL and FCC standards.
We have designed your surge protector to conform to
federal regulations, and you can connect it to most tele-
phone lines. However, each device that you connect to
the telephone line draws power from the telephone line.
We refer to this power draw as the device’s ringer equiva-
lency number, or REN. The REN is shown on the bottom
of your surge protector.
If you use more than one telephone or other device on
the line, add up all of the RENs. If the total is more than
five (three in rural areas), your telephones might not ring.
If ringer operation is impaired, remove a device from the
line.
Your surge protector complies with Part 68 of FCC Rules.
You must, upon request, provide the FCC registration
number and the REN to your telephone company. Both
numbers are shown on the bottom of your surge protec-
tor.
Note: You must not connect your surge protector to:
• coin-operated systems
• party-line systems
• most electronic key telephone systems
