Indicator Lights (Some Models) • In models with a"protected"light, the light should be on when the power switch IN is turned on. If this light goes out at any time, it means your surge protector has OUT sacrificed itself to protect your equipment and should be replaced. • In models with a"grounded"light, the light should be on when the power switch is turned on. If the light does not come on when you turn on the surge protector, you have a ground wiring problem and you should contact an electrician to properly ground the outlet. Connecting your surge protector to an improperly grounded outlet will void all Audiovox warranties. • In models with a power switch light, the light in the power switch lights when the unit is powered on. Your surge protector provides maximum surge protection even if the power switch is in the off position. • Some models have a Surge Stat™ indicator.
