	The documented example ~~operated normally during testing~~.		The documented example was tested for basic electrical operation and wiring integrity. When energized, both the Protected/Protégé indicator and illuminated RESET/OFF switch operated normally. The protection-status indicator appeared noticeably brighter than the lamp within the power switch and remained easily visible under normal room lighting conditions. Testing with a receptacle tester confirmed correct outlet wiring and grounding.

	~~The red~~ Protected/Protégé ~~status~~ indicator illuminated ~~when power was applied, indicating that surge protection remained available.~~

	~~The integrated~~ RESET/OFF ~~power~~ switch ~~also illuminated during operation~~. The protection-status indicator ~~was~~ noticeably brighter than the lamp within the power switch and remained ~~highly~~ visible under normal room lighting conditions.
