Before using this feature, the UPS must have been powered by utility power at
least once.

utility power has been unavailable for one minute, press and hold the
Output On button until the alarm beeps.
The UPS supplies power to your equipment and goes into Battery mode.
The
indicator remains lit and the front panel displays the percentage
of battery capacity remaining to the UPS. This process should take about
15 seconds.

equipment. Confirm the equipment is prepared for a power-off before

Off button until the long beep
ceases (approximately three seconds).
