Do NOT plug a surge protector or power strip into an existing surge protector or power strip. This practice is called "daisy-chaining" or "piggy-backing" and can create a serious hazard. There should only be one surge protector or power strip plugged into a single duplex electrical outlet. - Power strips should not be overloaded. Most are rated for 15A. This equates to approximately 1500 watts of power connected to the device.
- Surge protectors, power strips, and/or extension cords are NOT a substitute for permanent wiring.
- Do NOT locate a surge protector or power strip in any area where the unit would be covered with carpet, furniture, or any other item that will limit or prevent air circulation.
- Do NOT staple, tack, or tape a surge protector or power strip.
