CAUTION: Do not plug laser printers into the UPS output receptacles. The instantaneous
current drawn by this type of printer can overload the UPS.
Before connecting devices, verify that the UPS will not overload by checking that the ratings of the devices
do not exceed the UPS capacity. If the equipment rating is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by
the selected output voltage to determine the VA.
After verifying that the UPS will not overload (depending on your model):
•
Connect the device power cords to the output receptacles on the rear panel of the UPS.
