The US Society of AutomotiveEngineers
[SAE] has documented the existence of
power surges and highvoltage spikes on
cigarette lightersand other12-volt DCpower
outlet circuits. Thesepotentially damaging
spikes can be as great as 600 volts!
Computers, TV's, DVD players, PDA's, cell
phones, andother portable electronics can
be damagedby these surges and spikes if
unprotected.Protect your equipment by
plugging the AutomotiveSurge and Spike
Protector intoyour vehicle’s cigarette lighter
socket or power outlet. Thenplug your
equipment into the Protector.
This product complies withSAESpecification
J1113-11and ISO Specification 7637. Tests
were performed by anindependent testing
laboratory verifying that the unit eliminated
the potentially damaging surges and spikes
identified in these specifications. Use of this
product provides you with an assurancethat
your sensitive and valuable electronics are
connected toa powerful, power-conditioning
circuit that will divert damaging high voltage
spikes. The three outlets can carry a
combined12-volt DCload of 10 ampsand
are protected by a replaceable 15-amp fuse.
For best results, follow the Installation and
Use instructions.

Installation and Use
1. Insert the power plug firmlyinto the vehicle's 12-volt
cigarette outlet or other 12 volt-DCpower source.
2. The greenLED should light. If not, try turning the
vehicle's ignition switch to the "On"or "Accessory"
position. Some vehicles turn off all12-volt circuits
when the key is turned off.
If you are using a cigarette lighter receptacle and the
LED still does not light, check thecigarette lighter
circuit to see if the lighter heats up. Pushthe lighter
intothereceptacleuntilitlatches.Ifthelighterdoesnot
heatup andpop out after30seconds, you mayhave a
defective lighter or a blown fuse in the lighter circuit.
Refer to your vehicle owner's manual forthe fuse
location and replacementprocedure.
If you are using a separately provided 12-volt DC
power outlet and the LED does not light, check the
fuse in the circuit by referring to your owner’s manual
for the fuse location and replacement procedure.
3. If the LED goes out,the adapter’s surge and spike
protection circuits are not working.Check the
adapter’s replaceable fuse and if blown, replace with
the same type of 15-amp fuse. Replace the fuse by
pressing in thetip, rotatingit, then pull to remove.
4. Before using theadapter, unplug allitems connected
to the adapter. Connect your productsone at atime
to see if one of the products iscausing the fuseto
blow. If thefuse blows immediatelyafter inserting the
product'sadapterplug intoanoutlet,replacethefuse
in the adapter and have the product repaired.
5. If the green LED turns offafter normal operation, the
surge and spike protectorhas experienced a
