Turn On the Back-UPS

Press the POWER button. It will illuminate green and a single short beep indicating that the Back-UPS is on and providing protection for connected equipment.

The Back-UPS battery will charge regardless of whether the Back-UPS is switched on or off as long as it is connected to AC power. The UPS will have full runtime capability after the initial 24-hour charging period, connected to AC power.

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

Turn Off the Back-UPS

Press the POWER button for at least 2 seconds. At the first beep, release the button and the UPS will turn off. A 2 second delay has been added to mitigate unintentional contact with the POWER button.

Quick Mute

temporarily mute the alarm until the condition has been reset. A short double beep will confirm that Quick Mute has been activated. Pressing the POWER button for more than 2 seconds will turn off the UPS.

Other critical events such as Battery replacement and Charger notification can not be temporarily muted. The unit in these cases must be turned off.

On Battery Indicator Modes

2. Press and hold the ON/OFF button for 10 seconds. The POWER button will alternate greenred to indicate that the Back-UPS is in Program mode.

3. The POWER button will flash either green, amber, or red to indicate the current sensitivity level. Refer to the table for an explanation of the transfer voltage sensitivity levels.

4. To exit Program mode wait five seconds and all LED indicators will extinguish. Program mode is no longer active.
