Connect Battery

For safety, the Back-UPS is shipped with one battery wire disconnected. The Back-UPS will not operate until the wire is connected to the touch safe battery terminal.

NOTE: Small sparks may occur during battery connection. This is normal.

TURN the Back-UPS over, and slide the battery compartment cover off of

the battery housing.

REMOVE the battery from the battery compartment, and connect the black wire

to the negative (-) battery terminal. Ensure the battery is installed as shown below.

Battery Backup Surge Protection

These outlets are powered whenever the Back-UPS is switched ON. During a power outage, or other utility problems (brownouts, over-voltages), these outlets will be powered for a limited time by the Back-UPS. Plug your computer, monitor, and two other datasensitive devices (external disk or tape drive) into these outlets.

INSTALL the battery compartment cover back onto the battery housing.

Place the Back-UPS to avoid:

- Direct sunlight

- Excessive heat

- Excessive humidity or contact with fluids

Plug the Back-UPS power cord directly into a wall outlet, and not to a surge protector or power strip. The wall outlet should be located near the equipment, and easily accessible.

Surge Protection Only

These outlets provide full-time protection from surges even if the Back-UPS is switched OFF. Plug your printer, fax machine, scanner, or other peripherals that do not need battery power into these outlets.

Connect AC Line Cord

Plug the Back-UPS power cord into a wall outlet, not a surge protector or power strip. The outlet should be near the equipment and easily accessible.

Sensitivity Adjustment

(Optional)

In situations where the Back-UPS, or connected equipment, appears too sensitive to the input voltage, it may be necessary to adjust the transfer voltage. This is a very simple task that requires the use of an ON/OFF push button. To adjust the transfer voltage, perform the following steps:

1. Plug the Back-UPS into the utility power source. The Back-UPS will be in “Standby mode” (no indicators are lit).

2. Press the ON/OFF push button fully in for 10 seconds. The Online LED will begin glowing in a cyclical order: GREEN-AMBER-RED, indicating it is going into “Program mode”.

3. The Back-UPS will then indicate the current sensitivity, as shown in the Transfer Voltage and Sensitivity Adjustment table below.

4. To select the LOW sensitivity setting, press the ON/OFF push button until the LED begins flashing GREEN.

5. To select the MEDIUM sensitivity setting, press the ON/OFF push button until the LED begins flashing RED.

6. To select the HIGH sensitivity setting, press the ON/OFF push button until the LED begins flashing AMBER.

7. To exit Programming mode, once sensitivity is set, wait approximately 5 seconds, and all of the LED indicators will be off (unlit).
