How do you determine whether a surge has occurred and the unit must be reset or replaced? There is no check light to verify that protection is active.

When you plug something into it and it does not work try resetting it. If that does not work try replacing it.

I cannot answer your question. I guess if it doesn't work you know that it's occurred!

I had the same thing happen. From the internet surfing I did, I assumed the unit was dead. Sorry.

No it should not you may have bigger problems check to see if you have power or your surge protector is tripped

I used a surge protected with mine. It was fine. However I bought mine in feb now it doesnt work. Just stopped working. I think I will stick to the brand "comfort zone" from walmart. Under $20 and still working

It alerts me when opened or closed no matter what. Not sure if power is lost.

Hmmm, Only suggestion I can make is to unplug the power to it and plug it in again, sometimes it needs to be restarted.

Actually, that's a good question! In other words, once a surge is encountered does, #1: the device re-function as an electrical line connection?, and, #2: does it re-function as a surge protector? I honestly can't for sure answer either one of those questions. I usually use these devices, in-line with other surge protection, and once in a while use them in the field, for my laptop computers as the primary surge protection. So, insofar as the field work is concerned, I really don't know if I've ever encountered a surge to test the efficiency of the protection, ie re-function of the device?!

Check the power plug at the base of the unit. Sometimes the plug will back itself out and disconnect the power. It looks like it's plugged in, but the plug isn't fully seated.

I have the same unit for about a year and haven't had any issues. Are you having power surges?

Addendum: perhaps this is too basic for you, but must be considered. Remove the grill and see if the light is on. Red means units is turned off and blue means it is turned on. If no lights then check your power strip and outlet. Try using another one. If the outlet and power strip is good and you have no lights then you probably have a major problem, perhaps you got hit by a power surge. Surge protectors don't last forever. After they have been hit they usually need to be replaced. Try the things I mentioned in this and my previous answer and let me know what you find.

That is a power switch. As far as I know it offers no protection from a power surge.

Assuming the outlet is working, it sounds like your base unit is shot. I've had a couple of these phones now and they are very sensitive to power surges. I put my current unit on a surge protector and it's lasted several years now.

Hi,If there are no devices connected to the surge protector, the Protected light would be off. It would just turn on if there are some devices connected to it. However, if there are no lights are turned on from the surge protector even though there are devices connected to it then it means that there's a problem with the surge protector.Thanks,Belkin Supporthttp://www.belkin.com/us/support

Have you checked the outlet it's plugged into to see if it's hot? If you experienced a power surge when the outage occurred it may have fried the power supply. (We had this happen to several devices plugged into a surge suppressor when we had a lightning strike.) If you've only had this monitor for a short time (less than the 1 yr warranty coverage) you might contact Dell for guidance. Other than that, I can only suggest you have a tech look at it to determine cause and possible repair.

Surge protector are designed to stop the flow of current to your electrical device. This product is no different. It would either have to be reset or replaced depending on how heavy of a surge it received.

I know this won't be helpful, but if it monitors power usage and finds nothing is in use, maybe it does. Even when it's plugged in the surge protector uses power. Unplug everything and see if it powers down.

The unit provides protection against electrical spikes and surges. Your problem is with the electrical utility provider could be a transformer issue
