2.Press the front panel pushbutton fully inward for 10 seconds. All indicators on the Back-UPS will flash to acknowledge going into Programming Mode.

3.The Back-UPS will then indicate its current Sensitivity Setting, as shown in the following table.

Flashing	Setting	Range
		(for utility
		operation)
1	Low	160 - 278 Vac	Input voltage is extremely low or
(yellow)			high. Not recommended for computer
			loads.

2	Medium	180 - 266 Vac	Back-UPS frequently goes On
(yellow, and red)	(factory default)		Battery.

3	High	196 - 256 Vac	Connected equipment is sensitive to
(yellow, red, and red)			voltage fluctuations (recommended).

4.To select the Low Sensitivity setting, press the pushbutton until the yellow indicator is flashing.

5.To select the Medium Sensitivity setting, press the pushbutton until the yellow and red indicators are flashing.

6.To select the High Sensitivity setting, press the pushbutton until yellow and both red indicators are flashing.

7.To exit without changing the Sensitivity Setting, press the pushbutton until the green indicator is flashing.
