HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Your new UPS may be used immediately upon
receipt. However, after receiving a new UPS, to
ensure the battery’s maximum charge capacity,
it is recommended that you charge the battery
for at least 8 hours. Your UPS is equipped with an
auto-charge feature. When the UPS is plugged
into an AC outlet, the battery will automatically
charge whether the UPS is turned on or turned
*Battery recharges 72 hours to 100% capacity
based on CEC, Energy Star eciency test
2. With the UPS unit turned o and unplugged,
connect your equipment requiring battery backup
into the battery and surge protected outlets. Plug
the other peripheral equipment (printer, scanner,
speakers) into the full-time surge protection
(DO NOT plug a laser printer, paper shredder,
copier, space heater, vacuum, sump pump or
other large electrical device into the “Battery
and Surge Protected Outlets”. The power
demands of these devices will overload and
possibly damage the unit.)
3. Plug the UPS into a 2-pole, 3-wire grounded
receptacle (wall outlet). Make sure the wall branch
outlet is protected by a fuse or circuit breaker and
does not service equipment with large electrical
demands (e.g. air conditioner, refrigerator, copier,
etc…). The warranty prohibits the use of extension
cords, outlet strips, and surge strips.
4. Press the power switch to turn the unit on. The
Power On indicator light will illuminate green and
the unit will “beep” twice.
5. If an overload is detected, an audible alarm will
sound and the unit will emit one long beep. To
correct this, turn the UPS o and unplug at least
one piece of equipment from the battery power
supplied outlets. Make sure the circuit breaker is
depressed and then turn the UPS on.
6. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS
plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
7. To store the UPS for an extended period of time,
cover it and store with the battery fully charged.
While in storage, recharge the battery every three
months to ensure optimal battery life.
8. Ensure the wall outlet and UPS are located
near the equipment being attached for proper
9. Lay the UPS horizontally or use the key-hole
mounting slots to ax the UPS to the wall in the
