This warranty excludes all stand-alone “electronic equipment” using microchip, microprocessor or transistor technology, such as but not limited to computers, televisions, DVD Players/Recorders and Security Systems.

This has been discussed before but the warrenty clearly is designed to pay if the surge protector fails which they will check when it's sent back to the factory if the indicator lights go out and as I mentioned, it's not designed to protect sensitive electronic equipment. It's designed to block and or reduce a large surge coming from the power grid so your subsequent whole house surge and point of use protectors can manage the remainder of the surge. It will also protect non-electronic motor driven devices such as you washer/dryer if it's an older type or an electric stove for example if they don't have any electronic digital controls.
