HOW TO DETERMINE THE POWER REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR EQUIPMENT

1. Ensure that the equipment plugged into the battery power-supplied outlets does not exceed the UPS unit’s rated capacity. If rated unit capacities are exceeded, an overload condition may occur and cause the UPS unit to shut down or the fuse blow.

2. There are many factors that can affect the amount of power that your computer system will require. For optimal system performance keep the load below 80% of the unit’s rated capacity.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE

1. Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, r ec harg ing the battery for at least 8 hours is recommended to ensure th at the battery's maximum charge capacity is achieved. Charge loss may occur during shipping and storage. To recharge the battery, simply leave the unit plugged into an AC outlet. The unit will charge in both the on and off position.

2. With the UPS unit off and unplugged, connect the computer, monitor, and any externally powered data storage device.

3. Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounded receptacle (wall outlet). Make sure the wall branch o utlet is prote cted by a fu se or circuit breaker and does not service equipment with large electrical demands.

4. Depress the power switch to turn the unit on. The LCD indicator light will illuminate and the unit will "beep".

5. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.

6. To store your UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. Recha r ge t he b att e r y eve r y thr e e mo nt hs t o en su re ba tt e r y life.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

1. Use dry soft clothes to clean the front panel and plastic parts. Do not use any detergent that contain s alcoholic ingredien t .

2. The expected lifetime of the battery is around 3 years. Improper operation and harsh environment will reduce the actual lifetime.

3. Unplug the UPS from power inlet if the UPS will not operate for long period of time.

STORAGE

1. First tu rn off your UPS and disconnect its power c ord from the wall outlet. Disconn ect all cables co nnected the UPS to avoid battery drain.

2. The UPS should be stored in a cool dry location.

3. Make sure t he battery is ful ly charged before the UPS is stored.

4. For extended storage in moderate climates, the battery should be charged for 12 hours every 3 months by plugging the pow er cord into the wall recepta cle and turning on the main switch. R epeat it every 2 mo nths in high temper ature locatio ns .
