Placement

This UPS is intended for indoor use
only; its internal components are not
sealed from the environment.
Please install it in a protected
environment away from excessive heat
or excessive moisture.

Charging the UPS first

The battery is fully charged at the
factory. However, it is recommended to
charge the battery at least 8 (eight)
hours before using the UPS, since
energy loss may have occurred during
shipping or long duration storage. To
recharge the battery, simply leave the
UPS plugged into an AC outlet.

Connecting your equipment to the UPS

For UPS models with US-type outlets: connect the power cord(s) of your computer
equipment to the output receptacle(s) of the UPS.

For UPS with IEC outlets, as shown in the illustration, use your computer power cord to
connect UPS to the wall socket. Use the power cord supplied with the UPS to connect
your PC to one of UPS outlets (item 1.5 on the rear panel drawing below).

Turn on the UPS

To turn UPS on please press the power button for 3 seconds. Pressing the power button
shortly under normal mode will enable the self-test function. The silence function can be
enabled/disabled by shortly pressing the power button in backup mode. In addition, the
power button can be used as the master on/off switch for your equipment by leaving your
equipment connected to UPS and switched on. To turn off the UPS, please press power
button for about 3 seconds.

Warning

DO NOT PLUG LASER PRINTERS INTO THE UPS BECAUSE
THEY TYPICALLY DRAW TOO MUCH POWER

No Load Shutdown Function

As a battery saving feature, the UPS will automatically turn off if none
of the connected equipment is operating while the UPS is in back-up
mode. Once normal utility power returns, the unit will re-start
automatically. You can disable the “No Load Shutdown” function by
pressing the power button of your switched-off UPS until you hear two
beeps.

Front panel LED (UPS status indicator)

AC Mode

When the LED is continuously lit and the
buzzer is silent, the UPS is in normal mode and
providing power to your equipment. The UPS
will continue to filter electrical noise and
provide surge protection.

Battery Mode

When the LED blinks every 2 seconds in time
with the beeping sound, the UPS is providing
power from its battery.

Fault

When the LED is flashing rapidly and the
beeping sound is continuous, it indicates that
the UPS is overloaded.
