He couldn't unprotect it. His "Unprotector" did the exact same thing my does. So, CV is not an option...

DANE: My surge protectors are annoying as hell every time the power has a brown out "Not all the way out, just lower in voltage" They literally trigger all of the fire alarms in the house, and make the garage door open and close to try and get our attention. Lets just say my mom doesn't like it when that happens. (almost every single day). She "marches her self down there and terns em off".

Not the most intellegent little thing in the world.
