Quick Startup
1
If your Patriot Pro II UPS has a removable power cord, connect the power cord to the back
of the unit. Plug the UPS into a wall outlet.
2
Let the unit charge the battery for at least 8 hours. You may use the unit while the battery
charges, but the battery backup runtime will be reduced until the battery is fully charged.
3
Note: The On/Off button must be pressed and held for about one second to turn the Patriot
Pro II unit on or off. To start the unit now, press and hold the On/Off button (the bottom
button on the front panel). When the unit starts, it will:
3.a. Beep, then light the front panel lights, turn them off and light them again. Next, the
Patriot Pro II applies AC output to the back panel receptacles. It then does a brief
self test, and turns various front panel lights off and on.
3.b. After 5 seconds or less, the self test ends. The top and bottom green lights will come on
and remain on. If the unit beeps, or if the top light does not remain on, even though
input power is available from the wall outlet, go to the Troubleshooting section.
4
Switch off the equipment you want to protect, and plug it into the outlets on the back of the
Patriot Pro II.
5
Switch on the protected equipment, one at a time. If the UPS beeps an alarm when you start
your equipment, the UPS may be overloaded. See the Troubleshooting section.
The bottom four lights on the front of the UPS show the % of the UPS’ power that your
equipment is using. See Symbols, LEDs and Audible Beeps Section
for more information.

The RJ-11 or RJ-45 Surge Protection jacks will protect equipment that
uses an RJ-11 or RJ-45 connection. Plug the 10BASE-T network
connection (or phone, fax or modem line for U models) into the surge
protection jack labeled “IN” on the back of the Patriot Pro II. Plug the
protected equipment into the surge protection jack labeled “OUT.”
Network cabling is not provided. Network only on European model;
do not connect any TNV equipment such as telephone, fax or modem to the circuitry. It may
only be used for network protection purposes on E models. This connection is optional. It is
not needed to use the Patriot Pro II.
