Install Software

Press the ON/OFF switch to power the unit ON.

A single short beep and the green “Power On” indicator confirms that Back-UPS ES is on and ready to provide protection.

The Back-UPS ES should charge for at least 16 hours to ensure sufficient runtime. The unit is being charged whenever it is connected to utility power, whether the unit is turned ON or OFF.

If the red Building Wiring Fault indicator (located on the end near the power cord) is lit, your building wiring presents a shock hazard that should be corrected by a qualified electrician.
