Power Switching System  (260-0203)   Hints and Tips    Faxback Doc. # 2803

The Power Switching System minimizes transients and noise generated by
other electrical devices.  It does not regulate voltage or current, nor
can it protect the contents of memory against power failures or brownouts.

If the SPIKE PROTECTOR indicator alone does not light (meaning the
transient protection circuitry is not functioning properly), the spike
protector was subjected to a transient beyond its rated capacity and was
damaged.  If all panel LED indicators are off, the circuit breaker
requires resetting.

If the metal-oxide varistors in the spike protector stop functioning, 
current is being supplied without spike protection.  In this case, you 
will need to have the metal oxide varistors and protective fusing 
circuitry replaced at a Radio Shack Service Center.
