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

The Back-UPS is able to temporarily mute user correctable alarms such as On Battery.

During such alarms, a short press (less than 2 seconds) of the POWER button will 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

With the UPS turned on, configuring the On Battery Indicator modes below is done by holding down the POWER button and waiting for the third beep. At the third beep, the POWER button will cycle red / green. Release the POWER button and its color will indicate the mode the UPS is in. Press the POWER button to cycle through each mode. See the following table for the 3 mode selection colors. Once the mode has been selected, wait 5 seconds and the setting will be committed to the UPS.

Voltage Sensitivity Adjustment (optional)

The Back-UPS detects and reacts to line voltage distortions by transferring to battery backup power to protect connected equipment. In situations where either the Back-UPS or the connected equipment is too sensitive for the input voltage level it is necessary to adjust the transfer voltage.

1.Turn off the UPS while connected to a wall outlet.

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.
