(SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)
This manual contains important safety instructions. Please read and follow all instructions care fully dur ing installation and operation
of the unit. Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to unpack, install, or operate your UPS.
CAUTION! To prevent the risk of fire or electric shock, install in a temperature and humidity controlled indoor area free of
conductive contaminants. (See the specifications for the acceptable temperature and humidity range.)
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of overheating the UPS, do not cover the UPS' cooling vents and avoid exposing the unit to direct
sunlight or installing the unit near heat emitting appliances such as space heaters or furnaces.
CAUTION! Do not attach non-computer-r elated items, such as medical equipment, life-support equipment, microwave ovens, or
vacuum cleaners to UPS.
CAUTION! Do not plug the UPS input into its own output.
CAUTION! Do not allow liquids or any foreign object to enter the UPS. Do not place beverages or any other liquid-containing
vessels on or near the unit.
CAUTION! In th e event of an emergency, press t he OFF button and disconnect the power cord from the AC power supply to

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 capacit y
(500VA/300W for VI500R1U, 750VA/450W for VI750R1U). 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 INSTALLA TION GUIDE
1. Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, recharging the battery for at least 8 hours is recommended
to ensure that the battery's max i mum charge capacity is achieved. Charge loss may occur during shipping and storage. To
recharge the battery, simpl y l eave the unit plugged into an AC outlet . The unit will charge in b oth 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 wa ll branch outlet is protected by a fuse o r
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 out let at all times.
6. To store your UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. Recharge the battery every three
months to ensure battery 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 contains alcoholic ingredient.
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 turn off your UPS and disconnect its power cord from the wall outlet. Disconnect all cables connected the UPS to avoid
battery drain.
2. The UPS should be stored in a cool dr y location.
3. Make sure the battery is fully ch arged before the UPS is st ored.
4. For extended storage in moderate climates, the battery should be charged for 12 hours every 3 months by plugging the power
cord into the wall receptacle a nd turning on the main switch. Repeat it every 2 months in high t em perature l ocations.
