Frequently Asked Questions - SPP5065B PHILIPS

How do I set up my Philips surge protector?

Plug the power cord into a properly grounded outlet. Then plug your equipment into the surge protector. Do not use extension cords or adapters.

What does the protection indicator light mean?

The Protection Working indicator light shows that surge protection is active. If it is off, the protector has exceeded its capacity and should be replaced.

What is the Power Blocker protection feature?

Power Blocker cuts off all power to AC outlets in the event of an electrical surge that overwhelms the protector, preventing damage to connected equipment.

How do I connect phone/fax/modem protection?

Connect the phone line from the wall to the input jack on the surge protector, then another cord from the output jack to your device. For splitter models, use the appropriate jacks.

How do I connect coaxial cable protection?

Connect the incoming cable line to the input coaxial connector on the surge protector, then a coaxial cable from the output connector to your TV/VCR/DVD/satellite/cable box.

What should I do if the surge protector gets wet?

Do not operate it if liquid is spilled on it. Immediately unplug it and contact support. Never use it near rain or wet areas.

What is covered by the connected equipment warranty?

Philips will repair or replace equipment damaged by surges if the surge protector failed to protect it, provided all connections (power, phone, coax) pass through the protector and the protector shows signs of damage.

How do I claim warranty service?

Contact Philips customer service at 1-800-233-8413 (USA/Canada) for a Return Authorization number. Provide proof of purchase and follow instructions for returning the equipment.

How can I recycle my surge protector?

Do not dispose with household waste. Follow local regulations for separate collection of electrical and electronic products. The crossed-out wheel bin symbol indicates recyclable materials.

Can I use an extension cord with the surge protector?

No. Using extension cords, adapters, or other grounding wires voids all Philips warranties. Plug equipment directly into the surge protector.

2 Connect one end of a phone cord into the output jack on the surge protector, and the other end to the phone/fax/modem jack of the device.

(c) or resulting from modification of the surge protector. After any repair or modification of the surge protector by a facility not authorized by Philips, any problems that arise will not be remedied under this warranty.

This warranty does not cover (a) damages caused by acts of God, including flood, erosion, or earthquake, but excluding lightning on products with Power Blocker™ technology; (b) damages caused by a sustained low voltage situation, or a low voltage disturbance, including brownouts, sags, or power outages; (c) damages caused by war, vandalism, theft, normal use wear-and-tear, depletion, obsolescence, abnormal care or uses, or abuse; (d) damage due to non-authorized program or system equipment modification or alteration; or (e) damage to equipment that was not directly connected to the surge protector at the time of the Occurrence.

This warranty is limited to losses that are not covered by a warranty from the manufacturer of the connected equipment, or by the consumer's homeowners insurance or renter's insurance policy. Consumer agrees to first seek coverage under any such warranty or policy, and not seek duplicate coverage from Philips. Consumer agrees to provide insurance information to Philips, at its request; and after a claims settlement, if applicable, Philips reserves the right to be subrogated under any existing warranty from the manufacturer of the connected equipment or under any existing insurance policies the claimant may have.

(Such devices are normally added during telephone line installation.) If you fail to connect the telephone line protection properly, your connected equipment will not be covered by the Connected Equipment Warranty.

Philips will determine, at its sole discretion, whether consumer should send the damaged equipment and the surge protector to Philips, or to an independent repair facility.

Philips also reserves the right to examine the site where the damage occurred. If Philips determines that the Connected Equipment Limited Warranty covers the damaged equipment, and that the equipment was damaged as a result of the surge protector which is covered under the Surge Protector Limited Warranty, Philips will either (a) authorize repair of the connected equipment, at a cost up to the maximum amount set forth on the packaging of the surge protector involved; (b) provide the consumer with an equivalent equipment replacement; or (c) reimburse the consumer for the present fair market value of the damaged connected equipment.
