The following precautions should be observed when working on batteries.

a. Remove watches, rings or other metal objects.
b. Use tools with insulated handles.
c. Wear rubber gloves and boots.
d. Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
e. Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals.
f. Determine if battery is inadvertently grounded. If inadvertently grounded, remove source from

ground. Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The likelihood
of such shock can be reduced if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.

Product Description

The APC by Schneider Electric Easy UPS offers power and surge protection for wireless networks,
computers, gaming consoles and other electronics in your home or business. This UPS supply battery
backup during outages and unstable voltage fluctuations, as well as provide protection from damaging
surges and spikes. They are the choice helps to protect your data and keep you connected.

Place and Power On

1. Place the Easy UPS to avoid:

 Direct sunlight
 Excessive heat
 Excessive moisture
 Excessive dust/dirt

For operation, please place the unit on the floor.

2. Connect the battery by pulling the battery handle up,

and then pushing it into the unit.

3. Connect equipment to the UPS. Avoid using extension cords.

4. Plug the Easy UPS power cord directly into a wall outlet, not into a surge protector or power strip.

5. Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the unit.
The green “Power On” indicator confirms that the Easy UPS is on and ready to provide protection.

The Easy UPS should charge for at least 24 hours to ensure sufficient runtime. The unit is being
charged whenever it is connected to AC power, whether the unit is turned ON or OFF.

Operational Features

Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR)

Automatic Voltage Regulation boosts/trims the AC voltage when it drops/exceeds levels.

This allows the equipment plugged into the unit to operate during low/high voltage conditions,
conserving the battery power in the event of a power cut.

The Easy UPS will switch to battery power if the input voltage level becomes too low/high for the
Automatic Voltage Regulation to compensate, or if the AC power is distorted.

USB Charging Port for Smartphones and Tablets (only for BVX700LUI models)

This USB charging port provides a maximum of 5V 1 A DC power. The port will charge the connected
equipment when the UPS is on line mode, battery mode and off charging mode.

Quick Mute

The Easy UPS is able to temporarily mute user correctable audible alarms such as On Battery. During
such audible alarms, a short press (less than 2 seconds) of the POWER button will temporarily mute
the audible 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 events such as Battery replacement and Charger notification can not be temporarily muted. The
unit in these cases must be turned off.
