Introduction

Thank you for purchasing AudioQuest's PowerQuest

Power Conditioner/

Surge Protector.

Most

power surge protectors are 3-mode surge-suppression devices.

Though these may guard against catastrophic power surges,

they

can also

allow even modest transient-power spikes

dissipate via

the

electrical

ground. This

significant since

surge protection technology dissipates

the

incoming surge/spike

either zero volts

amps. Most

powerline surges

spikes are

frequent-and

they are

not

catastrophic.

In fact, transient-power spikes

can

occur dozens

times daily in any home

office

with

standard

utility

power. Appliances and machinery often generate

these power spikes, and, when they occur, a typical 3-mode protection device

can send

the

remaining electrical energy

audio/video component's circuit

ground. Over time, this

can

cause incremental damage

the

component's

delicate surface-mount circuit chips.

PowerQuest's Micro-Spike Technology prevents this from happening while

also protecting your valuable system from catastrophic power surges.

PowerQuest G8 Performance Enhancer/Surge Protector

The Quest Group Product Limited 5-Year Warranty

The Quest Group warrants to the original purchaser of any The Quest Group PowerQuest G8

Performance Enhancer/Surge Protector with a 5-year limited warranty for the product that the

PowerQuest G8 Performance Enhancer/Surge Protector shall be free of defects in design, assembly,

material, or workmanship, and will repair or replace, at its option, any defective product free of charge.

The Quest Group Connected Equipment Protection Warranty

The Quest Group warrants to the original purchaser of any The Quest Group PowerQuest G8

Performance Enhancer/Surge Protector connected equipment coverage for ve (5) years from the date

of purchase, up to $500,000.00. The Quest Group will repair or replace, at its option, any equipment

which is damaged by a transient voltage surge/spike or lightning strike that contacts the connected

component via the AC line. Such an “Occurrence” is covered while the Quest Group PowerQuest G8 is

properly wired via the building’s AC power line (outlet), with a protective ground.

Power surges or spikes via an incoming signal line are not applicable to this warranty. Best protection for

incoming cable, ethernet, or satellite signal line is to Earth ground such signal wiring to the building’s

principal Earth ground rod or electrical buss, before the signal line enters the building or connects to

your equipment.

Equipment Warranties

The fair market value of the equipment shall be the current value of the equipment specied in the

most recent edition of the Orion Blue Book by Orion Research Corporation. Subject to all terms and

conditions contained here. This warranty in no way guarantees the recovery of lost data on your hard

drive. The Quest Group reserves the right to review the damaged The Quest Group PowerQuest G8

Performance Enhancer/Surge Protector, the damaged equipment, and the site where the damage

occurred. All costs of shipping The Quest Group PowerQuest G8 Performance Enhancer/Surge Protector

and the damaged equipment to The Quest Group for inspection shall be borne solely by the purchaser.

The Quest Group reserves the right to negotiate the cost of repairs. If The Quest Group determines,

in its sole discretion, that it is impractical to ship the damaged equipment to The Quest Group repair

center, The Quest Group may designate, in its sole discretion, an equipment repair facility to inspect and

estimate the cost to repair such equipment. The cost, if any, of shipping the equipment to and from such

repair facility and of such estimate shall be borne solely by the purchaser. Damaged equipment must

remain available for inspection until the claim is nalized.

Whenever claims are settled, The Quest Group reserves the right to be subrogated under any existing

insurance policies the claimant may have. All above warranties are null and void if The Quest Group

PowerQuest G8 Performance Enhancer/ Surge Protector in use during the Occurrence is not provided

to MHHC Enterprises, Inc. for inspection upon MHHC Enterprises, Inc.’s request at the sole expense of

the purchaser; MHHC Enterprises, Inc. determines that The Quest Group PowerQuest G8 Performance

Enhancer/ Surge Protector has been improperly installed, altered in any way or tampered with; MHHC

Enterprises, Inc. determines that the damage did not result from the Occurrence or that no Occurrence in

fact took place; the repair or replacement of the damaged equipment is covered under a manufacturer’s

warranty; or The Quest Group determines that the connected equipment was not used under normal

operating conditions or in accordance with any labels or instructions.

All The Quest Group PowerQuest G8 Performance Enhancer/Surge Protector devices must be plugged

directly into the power source and must not be “daisy-chained” together in series fashion with other

power strips, power conditioners, regenerators, UPS battery back-up devices, or other surge protectors

or extension cords. A three-to-two-prong adapter may not be used. Any such installation voids the

warranty.

The Quest Group Connected Equipment Warranty only protects against damage to properly connected

equipment where The Quest Group has determined, in its sole discretion, that the damage resulted

from an Occurrence, and does not protect against acts of God (other than lightning, such as ood,

earthquake), war, vandalism, theft, normal-use wear and tear, erosion, depletion, obsolescence, abuse,

damage due to low-voltage disturbances (i.e. brown outs or sap), non-authorized program, or system

equipment modication or alteration. The Quest Group PowerQuest G8 Performance Enhancer/Surge

Protector warranty is null and void if a power disturbance that damages your equipment occurs through

the phone or network lines. You are only covered if the disturbance entered through the AC lines.

Please note: This product is not for use with aquatic items like aquariums and other water product

classes and or all other water-related products. Generators and sump pumps are excluded for use with

this product. Use only indoors and in dry locations.

This warranty contains the sole warranty of The Quest Group, there are no other warranties, expressed

or, except as required by law, implied, including the implied warranty or condition of quality,

merchantability or tness for a particular purpose, and such implied warranties, if any, are limited in

duration to the term of this warranty.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations

may not apply to you. In no event shall The Quest Group be liable for incidental, special, direct, indirect,

and consequential or multiple damages such as, but not limited to, lost business or prots arising out of

the sale or use of any The Quest Group PowerQuest G8 Performance Enhancer/Surge Protector, even if

accused of the possibility of such damages.

This warranty gives you specic legal rights, and you may also have other rights, which may vary

from state to state. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential

damage, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

This warranty is valid only for the original purchaser of the product. All damage claims against

the product must be made within fteen (15) days from the date of the occurrence and must be

accompanied by a receipt for the damaged equipment or the warranty is void. Warranty is valid in USA,
