The battery charges automatically whenever the green light is
on. To make sure the UPS’ batteries can supply power, let the
batteries charge for at least 10 hours, especially if you have stored

To protect your equipment, turn it off and plug it into the
outlets on the back of the UPS.

plug you received to the equipment’s power cord.

Switch on the equipment plugged into the UPS, one at a time. If
the display shows “OL” and the Alarm light comes on, your
equipment needs more power than the UPS can supply. Turn off
the UPS (if it has not shut itself down) and disconnect the least
important equipment. Then, restart the UPS. If the display still
shows “OL,” turn off more equipment until the alarm stops and
the display shows the percent load (99 or below).

The UPS includes a CheckUPS software package that monitors
power conditions; during a long power outage, CheckUPS
automatically shuts down a computer system connected to your
UPS just before the UPS runs out of battery time. CheckUPS
also provides basic UPS monitoring and control. Find the
interface cable that came with the software package. Plug the
end of the cable marked “UPS” into the port on the back of the
UPS as shown, and tighten the screws on the top and bottom of
the port. Then, connect the other end of the cable to the
computer system that the UPS is protecting.
