Warnings

•This product is intended for use in a controlled environment.

• Keep away from sunlight to prevent heat build-up.

• Do not disassemble or repair.

• Product contains sealed lead-acid battery. Battery must be recycled.

Cautions

•Risk of electrical shock. Not for use outdoors or in other wet or damp areas, with aquariums, in hazardous environments requiring failsafe performance (such as nuclear facilities or aircraft), or for medical or life support equipment. This device must be properly connected to a grounded three prong receptacle, and must not be “daisy-chained” together in serial fashion with other power strips, uninterruptible power supplies, grounding adapters, other surge products or extension cords.

•Do not dispose of batteries in a ﬁre. The battery may explode.

•A battery can present a risk of of electrical shock and a high short circuit current. Observe the following precautions when working on batteries :

•Remove watches, rings or other metal objects

•Use tools with insulated handles

•Wear rubber gloves and boots

•Do not lay tools or metal parts on tops of batteries

•Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals

•Do not open or mutilate the battery. Exposed or dam aged batteries can release electrolytes which are harmful to the skin and eyes and may be toxic.

Service of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel knowledgeable of batteries and the required precautions. Keep unauthorized individuals away from batteries.

When replacing batteries, replace with the same type as the original.

Please save or recycle the packaging materials

The UPS’s packaging materials are designed to protect the UPS during transport. These materials can be used to repack the UPS if it needs to be serviced. Damage during transit is not covered under the warranty. If you choose to discard the packaging materials, take them to your local recycling center.

2 Your UPS

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips !

To fully beneﬁt from the support that Philips offers, register your UPS at

This UPS (Uninterrupted Power System) has been designed to supply power to connected equipment in the event of an electrical blackout. It is also equipped with built-in surge protection to guard connected equipment against electrical damage. When your wall outlet is supplying normal AC power ﬂow, the UPS provides surge protection and draws energy to charge its internal battery. When the AC power ﬂow becomes abnormal, as in the instance of a blackout, the UPS will supply power to the connected equipment immediately, via its

internal battery. Philips offers an entire line of UPS products to safeguard your home

electronics and computer system.

Product highlights

Your UPS is equipped with the following features and functions.

Intelligent microprocessor control

Your UPS is a microprocessor-controlled unit. This means that it operates with the newest technology for high performance and powerful functionality. It is an “intelligent” protector that provides pure, reliable AC power to critical loads — guarding against electri cal power blackouts, current ﬂuctuations, surges and interference. The UPS will also save power, automatically turning off under back-up mode when none of the connected equipment is operating. Utilizing microprocessor control maximizes your UPS’s system ﬂexibility and ensures reliability.

Advanced battery management

Visual and audible signals alert you about UPS and battery status. The self-test function allows the UPS to detect a weak battery before it is put into service. Your UPS will perform a self-test upon start-up.

Automatic voltage regulation

Allows the UPS to adapt to a wide power range and maintain a steady output of pure and reliable power to sensitive, connected equipment.

Automatic frequency sensing

Allows the UPS to automatically match frequency with the incoming utility power.

High level battery charger

Fully charges the internal battery and acts to prolong its life.

Overload protection

Guards against connecting components whose power requirements exceed that of the UPS. Functions in both in-line and battery modes.

Extended back-up time

Prolongs the time your equipment has electricity during power blackouts.

Solid State phone/fax/modem protection

Provides maximum protection against surges present on standard two-wire “dial-up” phone service.

Splitter phone line protection

Splits incoming phone line into two outputs, supporting and protecting phone and modem.

Coaxial cable protection

Provides maximum protection against surges present on standard coax/broadband lines.

Rotating LCD message panel display

Displays time, AVR operation indicator, battery charge level (in AC mode), battery run time (in back-up mode), input voltage and battery load level. May be positioned horizontally or vertically.

Front panel

Power switch: Turns power to the UPS

on or off. May be used as the master ON/OFF switch for all equipment connected to the battery back-up outlets by leaving the power buttons for the connected equipment ON. Also indicates the status of the UPS:

• a steady light indicates the UPS is inline mode and using AC current

• a ﬂashing light indicates the UPS is in battery back-up mode Time set control (minutes): Use this

button to set the time in minutes. Liquid crystal display (LCD) message

panel: Displays UPS status information and time. Surge protection LED indicator: A

steady light signals surge protection is normal. Ground LED indicator: A steady light

signals grounding is normal. EMI/RFI LED indicator: A steady light

signals noise ﬁltration is functioning properly. Time set control (hours): Use this but-

ton to set the time in hours.

LCD message panel display

Digital clock: Displays present time.

AVR (Automatic Voltage Regulation)

indicator: Illuminated “AVR Activate” signals the AVR is actively functioning. Battery charge level: Signals the bat-

tery charging level in AC mode. Battery run time: Signals battery status

in back-up mode. Input voltage: Measures the input

voltage. Battery load level: Signals the total

output load of the UPS.
