BACKUP outlets will begin passing line power.
If the power
LED does not illuminate

Installation and Operation
To turn the UPS off, press the power button . The green LED will turn off and the BATTERY
BACKUP outlets will stop passing power.
STEP 3: Plug your equipment into the UPS.
There are two sets of outlets on your UPS. Outlets marked SURGE ONLY do not provide battery
backup power during power outages. Connect common desktop items like printers, scanners
and other accessories not requiring battery support to these outlets. Outlets marked BATTERY
BACKUP offer UPS battery backup support during power failures. Connect your vital computer
equipment into these outlets.
Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS if
the total volt-amp (VA) ratings for all the equipment connected to the BATTERY BACKUP
outlets exceed the UPS output capacity. To find your equipment’s VA ratings, look on their
nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps (A), multiply the number of amps by 120 to
determine VA. For example: 1A × 120 = 120VA.
