Installation and Operation
WARNING: Shock Hazard
If the input plug is connected and utility power is present, the outlets will be
energized. The front panel ON/OFF button will not turn these outlets off.
Important: PowerSource 1800 should be used or stored in a clean, temperature-
controlled, indoor area away from direct sunlight, moisture or conductive contaminants.
Allow a minimum of 3 inches of space around the unit for optimal ventilation.
Important: PowerSource 1800 must be charged immediately before storage or
use. This will protect the battery inside from damage and will ensure extended usage run
time. A complete charge may take up to 15 hours when recharged from a 120 VAC wall
outlet.
CAUTION: Equipment Damage
• Do not plug surge-protected power bars into
• Do not connect an AC power source to the 120 VAC outlets.
• Do not connect the unit's AC power cord to its 120 VAC outlets.

To install PowerSource 1800:
1. Plug the power cord directly into a wall outlet (not into a surge protector or
power strip).
2. Connect your electronic devices or small household appliances to the five
AC outlets of the PowerSource 1800.
3. Turn on the unit by pressing the Power button for at least half a second. The
green AC Power LED confirms that the PowerSource 1800 is on and ready
to provide backup power.
When the battery needs recharging, the LED screen flashes "CHG" 10 times,
then the battery capacity (%) once. This pattern of flashing continues until
the battery capacity reaches 100% and "FUL" appears on the screen.
Backup Power Feature
The unit's five outlets are permanently backed up by the internal battery
120 VAC
when utility power is not available. To activate the AC outlets for backup
operation, turn on the unit using the Power button. During a power outage or
other utility problem (such as brownouts and over-voltages), PowerSource 1800
will keep running the connected products for up to 10 hours, depending on the
power draw of your application (see "Run Time on Typical Products" and "Run
Time for Combinations of Products"). When utility power is restored, the unit
automatically recharges its internal battery.
Important: When connected to utility power,
power from its internal battery when the utility voltage falls below 105 VAC.
