Prior to Use

Before using the UPB80 it should be fully charged. Please follow the instructions below on how to use and maintain the UPB80.

Finding the Notebook Voltage

Setting

Before using this battery, determine the DC input voltage requirement for the notebook being used. Notebook voltage ratings are usually indicated in one of two locations: at the back of the notebook on the system label or on the notebook AC-to-DC power adapter label.

If the voltage cannot be located, refer to the “Compatibility Guide” to determine the required setting for the notebook being used.

Charging and Connecting the UPB80

Prior to use, completely charge the UPB80. Follow the instructions for setting the output voltage on the UPB80. Provided with the UPB80 is a plastic bag with an assortment of plug and jack tips. Plug and jack tips are each marked with a letter designator which corresponds to notebook models listed in the “Compatibility Guide” and “Compatibility” section of this manual. Plug tips are used to connect the output power of the UPB80

to the input DC voltage port on the notebook. Jack tips are used to connect the UPB80 to a power source (notebook’s AC/DC Power Adapter, or APC’s TravelPower or Universal Power Adapters - purchased separately). Tips are marked with an uppercase letter (A, B, C, etc.). Jacks are marked with a lowercase letter (a, b, c, etc.).

Example: An IBM

Travel Mate correspond to notebook models listed in the “Compatibility Guide” and “Compatibility” section of this manual. To make connections, refer to Figures 1 and 2, then proceed as follows:

1.Attach the appropriate Jack tip to the UPB80 Input Power Connector.

2.Attach the Plug tip to the UPB80 Output Power Connector.

3. Attach the notebook power adapter, APC TravelPower Adapter, or

4. The UPB80 Statu s indicators should illuminate. If they do not,

uses plug tip “K” and jack tip “k”, etc. The letter designators

5. When the Statu s indicators illuminate, the UPB80 is charging. Continue charging the UPB80 until all indicators illuminate and then extinguish.

6. Check the UPB80 capacity. Press the On/Status push button. The Status indicators on the UPB80 will light and stay lit for about 5 seconds. If this is the first time using the battery, and all indicators do not light, fully charge the UPB80 before continuing.

7. The UPB80 is now ready for use. If the notebook power adapter, APC TravelPower Adapter, or APC Universal Power Adapter is present, the UPB80 will pass through power to the notebook. If the notebook power adapter is removed, the UPB80 will continue to provide power to the notebook, and the notebook will appear to be connected to utility power. To optimize runtime for the battery, adjust the notebook power settings to save power. See notebook user manual for information on changing power mode settings.

Turning On the UPB80

When the battery has been stored for more than 15 minutes, or has not been attached to a notebook), the battery will enter Sleep Mode. To turn the battery on, press the On/Status push button for 1 second, then release. The Status indicators illuminate, showing the battery is awake.

Checking UPB80 Status

You can check the status of the battery at any time. Simply press and hold the On/ Statu s push button for 1 second, then release. The LED Status indicators will

illuminate, indicating the charge level of the battery. Refer to Figure 3 for Status Indicator Definitions (when you turn on or check status of the battery, it will show the remaining charge level capacity).

APC’s Universal Notebook Battery is a slim and lightweight external battery pack which provides up to 8-hours of continuous runtime (actual runtimes may vary by notebook model and power setting).

Features

• Ultra-lightweight construction reduces bulk and weight in notebook carry-on luggage.

• Wide range of selectable output voltages power most notebook computers.

• Four charge/discharge level indicators.

• Letter-coded power tips provided compatibility with most notebook computers (see Compatibility Guide).

• Compatible with APC’s TravelPower Adapter and Universal Power Adapter models.

• 80 Watts of continuous power, up to 100 Watts peak power output.

• Up to 8 hours of continuous runtime for your notebook.

Inspection

If any item listed above is not in the package, contact APC Customer Service.

Output Voltage Setting

Please refer to Figure 1 to become familiar with all aspects of the UPB80.

To set the voltage output for the UPB80, proceed as follows:

1. Locate the input voltage requirement for your notebook computer. (Refer to “Finding the Notebook Voltage Setting” for instructions).

2. Remove the yellow sticker on the UPB80 which covers the Output Voltage Selector Switch.

3. Turn the Output Voltage Selector Switch to the required voltage setting for the notebook being used.

4. Press the "On/Status" button to make the change effective. Note: If this is the first time using the battery, attach a power source to wake up the battery. Continue reading the manual for further instructions on first use.

Changing the Voltage While the Battery is

in Use

If the voltage selector dial is moved while the battery is in use, the battery will interrupt the output of power to your notebook computer. To resume power output, ensure that the voltage selector is turned to the correct output voltage (please refer to the Notebook Users Manual for instructions). Press the On/Status push button for approximately 1 second, then release. The On/Status indicators will illuminate, indicating the

battery has resumed power output.

Check the voltage rating from the system label on the notebook or power adapter.

Turn the Output Voltage Selector Switch to the corresponding voltage.

Disconnect and reconnect the UPB80 Power Cable from/to the UPB80.

Disconnect the Power Cable from the UPB80. Turn the Output Voltage Selector Switch to the next highest voltage setting.

Example: if the notebook AC adapter is 15V, turn the Output Voltage Selector Switch to 16V.

Disconnect the UPB80 Power Cable; set the Output Voltage Selector Switch to 20V. Connect the UPB80 Power Cable to the notebook.

Check the notebook, notebook power adapter, “Compatibility Guide” or “Compatibility” section of this manual to ensure the appropriate voltage setting for the notebook is being used, and to ensure the proper jack tip and plug tip are being used.

Remove the UPB80 from the enclosed area, and let it cool for a few minutes. Unplug and re-plug the UPB80 Power Cable. The unit will recover from thermal protection mode.

UPB80 is designed to deliver 80 watts of continuous output power. Perform one of the following to resume UPB80 power output:

1. Fully charge the notebook internal battery using the adapter provided with the notebook; connect the UPB80 to the notebook.

2. Change the power settings on the notebook to conserve battery power.

Press the On/Status push button for 1 second, then release. The On/Status indicators will illuminate and the battery will resume power output. If no indicators are lit, charge the UPB80.

Battery Recycling, Storage, and Battery Life

The Universal Notebook Battery should be disposed of properly. Please do not dispose in trash receptacles or incinerate. For information about APC's battery recycling program, visit: mobilecomputing.apc.com.

For best results, do not store the UPB80 where there is excessive heat or cold, as such environments can damage the battery pack and reduce battery life. If storing the UPB80 for an extended period, completely discharge and recharge the unit before the next use. This can be done by attaching the UPB80 to a notebook and waiting until the it is fully discharged. The UPB80 is fully discharged when the amber Status indicator is extinguished. Attach a notebook power adapter to the UPB80 and continue charging it until all Status indicators are extinguished. For best results, the UPB80 should be fully discharged and recharged once every 3 months. This will condition the cells inside the battery to ensure the UPB80 delivers the most capacity available.
