<p class="MsoNormal">I have a client who's Mate three basically seized up, Lost its programming and I did a manual reprogram which it then proceeded to lose that also. I called Outback tech they suggested I reset to factory default and then reprogram which
due to the fact I had to leave Colorado for 48 hours I can't do it now the system is complete shut down.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div id="AppleMailSignature">
<p class="MsoNormal">The tech at Outback said that lightning strikes nearby could exhibit an EMP effect on the mate or even static that would cause this to happen.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div id="AppleMailSignature">
<p class="MsoNormal">Is anyone aware of any filtration/ surge protection device that might work without interfering with the maid threes function and accommodate an ethernet cable? <o:p></o:p></p>

<div id="AppleMailSignature">
<p class="MsoNormal">Phil Underkuffler at outback if you want to chime in on this I'd appreciate it and since it is lightning season in Colorado I'm sure other people may appreciate it too <o:p></o:p></p>
