When the Back-UPS is receiving input power, the Battery Backup with Surge Protection
outlets will supply power to connected equipment. During a power outage or other AC
problems, the Battery Backup outlets receive power for a limited time from the Back­UPS.

Connect equipment such as printers, fax machines, scanners, or other peripherals that do
not need battery backup power to the Surge Protection Only outlets. These outlets
provide full-time protection from surges even if the Back-UPS is switched OFF.
