INSTALLATION

1. Connect the mains cord of the UPS to a working, grounded AC wall socket outlet. The unit will start automatically.
2. For best results, allow the UPS to recharge the batteries during a period of approx. 8 hours. It is acceptable to use
the UPS without first charging the battery, but the runtime may be reduced.
3. Plug your computer and monitor into the "Battery backup & surge protection" outlets. These outlets will provide
emergency battery backup power during a mains power failure as well as surge protection from surges and
spikes.
CAUTION: Do NOT plug LASER PRINTERS into any of the "Battery backup & surge protection" or "surge protection"
outlets.
CAUTION: Do NOT plug an ACCESSORY SURGE strip into any of the "Battery backup & surge protection" outlets.
4. Plug your peripheral equipment (printer, scanner, fax, speaker, etc.) into the "Surge protection" outlets.
NOTE: These outlets will NOT provide battery backup power during a mains power failure.
5. When the "On mains" LED illuminates, switch on the connected equipment.

OPERATION

1. ON/OFF Button
Press and hold the ON/OFF button for one beep, then release it to turn on (or turn off) the UPS. The UPS will charge
the battery as long as the mains power is present.
NOTE: When you turn on the UPS it will perform a self-test during which the alarm will sound intermittently.
2. LED On mains/ on battery (green)
This green LED illuminates when the UPS is on and receiving the normal mains power. It indicates that the
connected equipment is receiving power and the battery is charging.
The LED will blink and the alarm beeps every 10 seconds when the UPS operates on battery.
