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.
• 
Connect your phone/fax/modem line from your wall outlet to the “Input” 
jack on the surge protector.  Connect a phone cord into the “Output” 
jack on the surge protector, and connect the other end of the phone cord 
to the phone/fax/modem jack of the device you want to protect.
• 
To claim damage under the Connected Equipment Warranty as a result of 
telephone service line transients, equipment must be properly connected 
to a Philips surge protector which offers telephone line protection, and 
your telephone service equipment must include a properly installed and 
operating “primary protection” 
device at the service entrance.  (Such 
devices are normally added during 
telephone line installation.)
• 
If you fail to connect the phone/fax/
modem protection your connected 
equipment will not be covered by the 
Connected Equipment Warranty.  Most 
modem damage can be prevented 
if you take the time to connect the 
phone/fax/modem protection.  
• 
Surge protector models with telephone 
protection are designed to provide 
maximum protection from surges present 
on standard two wire “dial up” telephone 
service.  Other communications 
networks which happen to use modular 
jacks may not benefit from this 
protection.  CAUTION: The telephone 
feature of this product could be rendered 
inoperable if improperly installed.
 
Power Protector directions for use
This product, like all surge protectors, has a limited life. Even under normal 
circumstances, and in the absence of defects, the product’s life will end when 
the components providing surge protection exceed capacity and cease to provide 
protection from surges and spikes. This surge device features an internal protection 
that will disconnect the surge protective component at the end of its useful life, 
but will maintain power to the load (connected equipment) - now unprotected, 
thus, acting as a multiple outlet strip. If this situation is undesirable for the 
application, the surge protector should be replaced.   Units with Power Blocker™ 
protection will cease to conduct power through the unit once they have reached 
capacity.  At that time, the unit needs to be replaced to ensure proper protection. 
Standard surge protectors are not designed to protect against 
sustained low voltage situations.  Sustained low voltage situations 
can cause damage to some connected equipment.  
Power Blocker™ Protection Feature
Philips products with Power Blocker™ protection are designed to 
sacrifice themselves in order to save equipment connected to it.  Their 
circuitry is designed to cut off all power to AC outlets in the event of an 
electrical or power surge that overwhelms their protection.  If your surge 
protector is not allowing current to pass and the protection working LED 
is off, then your surge protector has performed its duty – protecting your 
equipment – and you must purchase a new unit to replace the expired unit.
Equipment connected to products with Power Blocker™ protection will 
be additionally covered in the event of equipment damaged by a lightning 
strike.  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. 
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. 
Coaxial Cable Connections
Some Philips surge protector models come with Coaxial Cable 
surge protection.  Instead of running a connection directly from your TV/
VCR/DVDR/Cable Box to the wall jack, you must pass the connection 
through the protected coaxial connections on your surge protector.
• 
Connect your incoming cable/broadband line to the “Input” coaxial 
connector on the surge protector.  Connect a coax cable into the “Output” 
coaxial connector on the surge 
protector, and connect the other 
end of the Coaxial Cable to the 
input coaxial connector of the 
device you want to protect.
• 
To claim damage under the 
Connected Equipment Warranty 
as a result of coaxial line 
transients, equipment must be 
properly connected to a Philips 
surge protector which offers 
coaxial line protection. 
• 
If you fail to connect the Coaxial 
Cable protection, your connected equipment will not be covered by the 
Connected Equipment Warranty.  Most TV/VCR/DVDR/Cable Box damage 
can be prevented if you take the time to connect Coaxial Cable protection.
• 
Surge protector models with coaxial protection are designed to provide 
maximum protection from surges present on standard coax/broadband lines.  
Other communications networks, such as antennas, satellite dishes, which 
happen to use coaxial connections may not benefit from this protection.   
CAUTION: The coaxial feature of this product could be rendered inoperable 
if improperly installed.
If you have additional questions, or if you would like to locate the Philips retailer 
nearest you, please contact our customer service department. 
Note: This device features an internal protection that will disconnect the 
surge protective component at the end of its useful life but will maintain 
power to the load - now unprotected. If this situation is undesirable for the 
application, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for replacing the device.
IN/OUT Phone Line Protection
Splitter Phone Line Protection
Splits incoming phone line into 
two outs.  Ideal for people with 
one telephone number, who use 
a modem and telephone. Note: 
Modem and phone can not be used 
at the same time.
