3 Getting Started
This section helps you with the first time
installation of your UPS.
3.1 Connect your UPS
Warning
Carefully read the safety precautions in
Section 1. Important, before you connect
your UPS.
Warning
Before connecting your UPS to a power
outlet, make sure the electrical power
voltage matches with the UPS. For ex-
ample, if the UPS voltage is 120V, the
incoming electrical power should be 120V
as well.
Caution
Do not use any extension cords, adapters,
other grounding wires or electrical con-
nections with your UPS. Doing so will void
all Philips warranties.
To connect your UPS:
Release the power cord from its twist
tie.
Plug the end into a 3-wire grounded
AC outlet.
Note
Make certain that the 3-wire grounded
AC outlet that you are plugging the UPS
into does not also service any appliances
requiring heavy electricity, such as a refrig-
erator, air conditioner, copier, etc.
Note
It is possible that your UPS battery may
have become depleted during shipping or
storage. To ensure the best performance
from your UPS, allow the battery to re-
charge at least six hours before first using
your UPS. To charge the battery, simply
plug the UPS into a properly grounded AC
outlet and turn on. Turn off before con-
necting components
Plug your primary equipment’s (e.g.
computer, monitor, any critical data
storage device) power cords directly
into the battery back-up outlets of
your UPS.
Plug your peripherals (e.g. printer,
fax, video and audio devices) into the
surge protected outlets of the UPS.
Note
Do not plug a laser printer or plotter
into your UPS. Its power demands are
much higher than typical peripherals and
may overload the UPS, causing the circuit
breaker to trip.
3.2 Connect your UPS to a phone/
fax/modem
Your UPS offers Solid State phone/fax/
modem protection. This requires you to
connect your phone/fax/modem to the
protected jacks on your UPS instead of
connecting directly to the wall jack.
This telephone line protection is designed
to provide maximum protection from
surges present on two-line or “dial-up”
telephone service. Other communications
networks which happen to use modular
jacks may not benefit from this protection.
