teléfono/fax/módem
La mayoría de daños de módems se pueden prevenir si
conecta el teléfono/fax/módem por medio del protector
de sobrevoltaje.
Si su protector de sobrevoltaje cuenta con tomas para teléfono:
1. Conecte la línea de teléfono/fax/módem de la toma de
pared a la toma de entrada (INPUT) en el protector de
sobrevoltaje.
2. Conecte el cable telefónico (incluido) en la toma de
salida (OUTPUT) en el protector de sobrevoltaje.

Si está usando un cable coaxial y su protector de sobrevoltaje cuenta
con tomas coaxiales:
1 Conecte la línea de TV por cable o antena de su fuente a
la toma de entrada (INPUT) en el protector de sobre-
voltaje.

desea proteger.
Luces indicadoras
(ciertos modelos)
• En los modelos con una luz marcada "protected" (protegido),
la luz debería estar iluminada cuando el interruptor de
encendido se encuentra en la posición de encendido. Si esta
luz se apaga en cualquier momento, esto signi ca que su
protector de sobrevoltaje se ha sacri cado a si mismo para
proteger su equipo y tendrá que ser reemplazado.
• En los modelos con una luz marcada "grounded"
(conectado a tierra), la luz debería estar iluminada cuando
el interruptor de encendido se encuentra en la posición de
encendido. Si la luz no se ilumina cuando enciende su
protector de sobrevoltaje, tiene un problema de cableado a
tierra y deberá ponerse en contacto con un electricista para
conectar apropiadamente a tierra el tomacorriente.
Conectar su protector de sobrevoltaje a un tomacorriente
que no esté conectado a tierra correctamente anulará
todas las garantías de Dynex.
• En modelos con un indicador del interruptor de encendido,
el indicador se iluminará al encender el protector. Su
protector de sobrevoltaje le provee la máxima protección
contra sobretensión aunque el interruptor de encendido se
encuentre en la posición de apagado.
• Ciertos modelos cuentan con un indicador Surge Stat™. En
estos modelos, el indicador muestra la condición actual del
protector de sobrevoltaje. Si el indicador Surge Stat™
muestra ya sea Not Grounded (sin conexión a tierra) o
Exhausted (Agotado), necesita tomar acción adecuado tal
como se describe en los primeros dos puntos anterior-

(tous modèles)
1. Brancher le parasurtenseur uniquement sur une prise
mise à la masse.
2. Brancher tous les équipements connectés directement
au parasurtenseur.
ATTENTION : NE PAS connecter à une prise non mise à la
masse. NE PAS utiliser avec des rallonges ou des adapta-
teurs à deux ls. Ce parasurtenseur est conçu pour être
utilisé uniquement à l'intérieur. Installer le parasurtenseur à
l'écart d'électroménagers qui émettent de la chaleur tels
que des radiateurs ou des bouches de chau age. Ne pas
installer dans des endroits très humides. Ne pas brancher
de rallonges sur le parasurtenseur. Ne jamais installer de
câblage téléphonique ou électrique pendant un orage.
NE PAS UTILISER POUR LES ÉQUIPEMENTS MÉDICAUX
OU DE SURVIE OU AUTRES ACTIVITÉS À HAUT RISQUE.

Si le parasurtenseur utilisé a des prises téléphone :
1. Connecter la ligne téléphone/télécopieur/modem de la
prise murale à la prise d'entrée (INPUT) du parasurte-
nseur.
2. Connecter le l téléphonique (fourni) à la prise de sortie
(OUTPUT) du parasurtenseur.
3. Connecter l'autre extrémité du l téléphonique à la prise

(certains modèles)
La connexion du câble coaxial à travers le parasurtenseur
permet dans la majorité des cas d'éviter que le
téléviseur/magnétoscope ne soient endommagés.
En cas d'utilisation d'un câble coaxial et si le parasurtenseur a des
prises coaxiales :
1. Connecter la ligne câble/antenne de la source à la prise
d'entrée (INPUT) du parasurtenseur.
2. Connecter un câble coaxial à partir de la prise de sortie
(OUTPUT) du parasurtenseur au périphérique à protéger.
Témoins lumineux
(certains modèles)
• Pour les modèles qui ont un témoin lumineux de
protection, le témoin lumineux doit être allumé quand
l'interrupteur d'alimentation est mis sous tension. Si ce
témoin lumineux s'éteint, cela signi e que le parasurte-
nseur s'est sacri é lui-même pour protéger l'équipement
et qu'il doit être remplacé.
• Pour les modèles qui ont un témoin lumineux de mise à
la masse, le témoin lumineux doit être allumé quand
l'interrupteur d'alimentation est mis sous tension. Si le
témoin ne s'allume pas lors de la mise sous tension du
parasurtenseur, cela signi e qu'il existe un problème de
câblage à la masse. Il convient de contacter un
électricien pour mettre cette prise correctement à la
masse. La connexion du parasurtenseur à une prise qui
n'est pas correctement mise à la masse annulera toutes
les garanties de Dynex.
• Pour les modèles qui ont un interrupteur avec témoin
lumineux, ce témoin s'allume quand l'appareil est mis
sous tension. Ce parasurtenseur fournit une protection
maximale contre les surtensions mêmes si l'interrupteur
d'alimentation est en position arrêt (o ).
• Certains modèles ont un témoin Surge StatMC. Sur ces
modèles, le témoin indique l'état actuel du parasurte-
nseur. Si le témoin Surge StatMC indique soit « Not
Grounded » (Non mis à la masse) ou « Exhausted »
(Épuisé), il est nécessaire de procéder de la façon
appropriée, conformément à ce qui est décrit dans les
deux premiers points ci-dessus.
