SOLA Never Stops Innovating
Quick Startup
1
Your SOLA 305 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 3 hours. You may use the unit while the battery
charges, but the battery backup runtime will be reduced until the battery is fully charged.
This will take up to 8 hours after a full discharge while the SOLA 305 is fully loaded.
3
To start the unit, press the On/Standby rocker switch (located left of center on the back
panel). When the unit starts, it will beep, and light both of the front panel LEDs several
times. The green light should remain on. This indicates normal operation. See Symbols,
LEDs and Audible Alarms Section for more information.
If the unit continues to beep, or if the green 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 with battery backup, and plug it into the
outlets labeled “Battery Powered Backup” on the top of the SOLA 305. This equipment will
continue to operate from the battery when the input line fails.
5
Switch off the equipment you want to protect against surges only, and plug it into the outlets
NOT labeled “Battery Powered Backup.” This equipment will not continue to operate when
the input line fails, but will be protected from spikes and surges on the input line.
6
Switch on the protected equipment, one piece at a time. If the UPS beeps an alarm when you
start your equipment, the UPS may be overloaded. See the Troubleshooting section.
7
The RJ-11 or RJ-45 Surge Protection jacks will protect telephone
equipment that uses an RJ-11 or RJ-45 connection. Plug the
phone or fax/modem connection into the surge protection jack
labeled “IN” on the back of the SOLA 305. Plug the protected
equipment into the surge protection jack labeled “OUT.” This
connection is optional. It is not needed to use the SOLA 305.

local SOLA office.
