Basic Operation
UPS ON/OFF
• Plug the UPS into a grounded outlet.
• Turn the UPS on:
Press and hold the
MODE
button for 2 seconds. The UPS alarm will beep once briefly after 2 seconds have passed.
• Plug equipment into the UPS:
Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for
all the equipment you connect to the “Battery, Surge and Noise Protected” outlets exceeds the UPS’s Output Capacity. To estimate your
equipment’s power requirements, look on the nameplate. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 230 to determine
VA, (Example: 1 amp x 230 = 230 VA). Your UPS is fully loaded when the display indicates 100% load.
• Turn the UPS off:
Press and hold the
MODE
button for 2.5 seconds. The UPS alarm will beep once after 2.5 seconds have passed.
LCD
The LCD indicates a variety of UPS operational conditions. All descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet and turned on. The LCD

tool in the slots on the sides of the display to pop it out of the UPS housing; rotate the display, and snap it back into the UPS housing.
