operation & installation

This MANHATTAN Line Interactive UPS can protect your equipment from all power problems, including
surges, spikes, blackouts, brownouts and line noise. When AC power is present and the UPS is on, it
continues to charge the battery and provide the power to the equipment directly from the AC line. The
battery can provide stable power to complete your work, save your data and safely shut down your
system when the utility power has failed.

The UPS is simple to operate and install:

1. Connect the UPS to a grounded AC power outlet.

2. Charge the battery at least eight hours for a full charge before use.

3. Plug your computer and monitor into the Battery Backup & Surge Protection outlets. (These outlets will
provide emergency battery backup power during power problems as well as surge protection from
surges and spikes.)

CAUTION: Do not plug laser printers into any of the Battery Backup outlets.
CAUTION: Do not plug accessory surge strips into any of the Battery Backup & Surge Protection outlets.

4. Plug your peripheral equipment (printer, scanner, fax, speaker, etc.) into the Surge Protection outlets.
(These outlets will not provide battery backup power during a utility power failure.)

5. Switch on the device while the connected equipment is off.

6. Turn on your connected equipment when the AC Mode LED is illuminated.
