Safety and General Information
Inspect the package contents upon receipt. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is any
damage.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This section contains important instructions that should
be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in equipment damage.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
UPS
• This UPS is intended for indoor use only.
• Do not operate this UPS in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, or where there is excessive
dust or humidity.
• Connect the UPS power cable directly to a wall outlet.
Mobile Power Pack (battery)
• Do not short circuit this battery. To avoid short circuit, keep the battery away from any metal
objects (e.g., hair clips and keys).
• Use this battery as instructed to avoid electric shock; do not disassemble.
• This battery is not user repairable; contact APC for tech support related issues.
• Do not heat this battery or throw it into a fire.
• Keep this battery away from high temperature, wet, or dusty environments.
• During normal usage keep the battery out in the open to allow excess heat to dissipate.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
UPS
• This UPS is designed for low power devices less than 50 Watts. When the UPS is on battery,
the BGE50ML / BGE50ML−CA will shut down automatically to protect itself once the load on
the UPS is greater than 50Watts.
• Be sure the air vents on the UPS are not blocked. Allow adequate space for proper ventilation.
• The battery typically lasts for three to five years. Environmental factors impact battery life.
Elevated ambient temperatures, poor quality AC power, and frequent short duration discharges
will shorten battery life.
Mobile Power Pack (battery)
• It is normal that the battery will feel warm during heavy use.
• Do not drop or place the battery under a heavy object.
• Charge M12USWH / M12USWH−CA for 2.5 hours before initial use.
• Keep the USB output port and micro−USB input port clean and free of obstruction.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
Getting Started
Using the UPS
Press the POWER button located in front of the UPS. The POWER button LED will illuminate
and a single short beep will be audible to indicate that the UPS is turning on.
The UPS provides surge protection and battery backup to low power equipment like modems,
gateways, routers, cordless phone base units and VoIP base units.
Note that high power devices like PCs or monitors may overload the UPS during a blackout. It is
recommended that only low power devices be connected.
Rotating Outlets
Both outlets can be rotated 90° and
45° to minimize adapter plug
interference.
USB charging ports
The three USB ports provide a total of
4.4A of DC power, and will provide
power even when the UPS is on
battery.
Fast charging is available at the 2.4A
USB port. This port integrates Smart Charging technology to maximize output according to the
smartphone or tablet detected.
Surge Only Mode
The battery can be removed and the UPS will continue to provide surge protection for the
connected AC devices. When the battery is removed the POWER button LED will illuminate
amber. In this mode the USB port will continue to provide charging power for smartphones and
other USB devices.
Mobile Power Pack
When removed from the UPS the battery can be used as a mobile power pack to charge devices
in a mobile environment.
To turn on the battery press the POWER button on the battery. The LEDs will illuminate to show
battery capacity. After 20 seconds the battery will enter a power saving mode if it is not charging
a device or being charged. If the battery is charging a device or being charged, after 20 seconds
the LEDs will dim down to 10% brightness. Pressing the POWER button at any time will cause
the LEDs to illuminate at 100% brightness for 20 seconds.
Battery Charge and Capacity Information
• Charge battery in the UPS for 2.5 hours prior to initial use. The battery will charge whether
the UPS is on or off as long as there is AC power to the UPS.
• Do not expect full battery runtime capability during the initial charge period.
• To charge the battery using the micro-USB input, connect the battery to any USB charging
port. When separate from the UPS, battery charging is slower. When charging the battery
using the USB port on a PC, the LEDs will flash more slowly to indicate slower rate of
charge.
• UPS runtime information is available on the APC Web site, www.apc.com.

Voltage Sensitivity Adjustment (optional)
The UPS detects and reacts to line voltage distortions by transferring to battery backup power to
protect connected equipment. In situations where either the UPS or the connected equipment is too
sensitive for the input voltage level it is necessary to adjust the transfer voltage.
1. Connect the UPS to a wall outlet but make sure it is off.
2. Press and hold the POWER button. After 10 seconds the POWER button LED will illuminate
alternately green-red to indicate that the UPS is in Program mode.
3. After releasing the POWER button the POWER button LED will illuminate either green,
amber, or red to indicate the current sensitivity level. Press the POWER button to change
sensitivity. Refer to the table below for an explanation of the sensitivity setting and transfer
voltage sensitivity level that corresponds to each LED color.
4. To exit Program mode wait five seconds and all LED indicators will extinguish. Program
mode is no longer active.

Recommended Use
Use this setting with equipment that is less
sensitive to fluctuations in voltage or waveform

Factory default setting. Use this setting under
normal conditions.
Use this setting when connected equipment is
sensitive to voltage and waveform fluctuations.
Mute Low Battery Alarm
Follow the instructions below to adjust the audio setting of the UPS to enable or disable low battery
alarm.
To change the setting make sure the UPS is on. Press and hold the POWER button. Releasing the
POWER button after hearing the 3rd short beep will toggle the low battery alarm mute function.
The UPS will emit a short double beep to confirm that the low battery alarm has been disabled. If
the UPS emits a 1- second beep it indicates that the low battery alarm is audible.
Note: The default setting of the low battery alarm is audible.

Leave the UPS connected to AC power for 2.5 hours
while the battery charges to full capacity.
As a battery ages, the runtime capability decreases.
Contact APC by Schneider Electric at the Web site
www.apc.com, to order replacement batteries.
The amount of power a device draws depends on its
compatibility with the USB Battery Charging
Specification 1.2. Compatible devices can draw more
power than devices that are less compatible. For devices
that can charge using input greater than 1A make sure that
the device is connected to the 2.4A USB charging port.
Disconnect device from the USB port on the UPS. USB
charging will resume when the LED turns green. Contact
SEIT Technical Support if the LED continues to alternate
green / amber.
Disconnect device(s) from the USB port(s) on the mobile
power pack. When the mobile power pack is not paired
with the UPS the power pack will enter safe mode if the
USB error has not been resolved within 30 seconds.
Charge the battery inside the UPS for best results. Using
the micro-USB port to charge the battery will require
more time. The speed is also dependent on the type of
USB charger. Some USB chargers support 1A and others
up to 2.4A. More powerful chargers will reduce the time
required. USB ports on a PC can also charge the battery
but older PCs only support 500mA which will result in
even more time to charge.
