interference.

Your surge protector is supplied with pairs of
indication tags to identify which device’s
power cords are connected to which AC
socket. Stick a large color tag on the power
cord near the base of the device and the
same color small tag next to the surge

Condition
The PROTECTED WHEN LIT indicator does
not light.
Solution
The surge protector's AC line is no longer
protected from surges; replace the surge
protector. The surge protector may have
received a power surge or spike beyond its
specified limits that might overload the
protection circuitry and make it inactive. If this
happened, the surge protector should have
absorbed enough of the surge to protect the
connected equipment, but it will not protect
against future surges and spikes
