Important Safety Instructions
Have you ever noticed your lights dim or flicker when you turn on your
dishwasher or air-conditioning? This common occurrence is attributed to an
under-voltage of power, also known as a BROWNOUT.
A brownout is a period of insufficient power-line voltage. It is the most common
power problem, accounting for 80% of all power disturbances.
Effects: A brownout can deprive a computer of the power it needs to function,
causing unwanted damage to your computer, such as frozen keyboards and hard
drive crashes. Such problems will cause you to incur computer repairs, lost data,
and downtime.
Solution: A Belkin Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) with Automatic Voltage
Regulation (AVR). Typical "Stand-by" UPS units do not have AVR to increase the
output voltage or decrease the output voltage to your computer. A surge
protector can only protect your computer from over-voltages due to irregular
power. Belkin UPS units protect against surges, spikes, swells, line-noise,
brownouts, and blackouts!
Only a Belkin UPS with AVR can give your computer clean
and consistent power at all times.
Note: There is no guarantee that interference to radio/TV will not occur in a
particular installation. If this UPS causes interference to radio or television
reception (this can be determined by turning the UPS power off and on), the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
•
Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Introduction
CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the UPS from
the main power supply before installing a computer interface signal cable.
Reconnect the power cord only after signaling interconnections have been made.
CAUTION!
The internal energy source (the battery) cannot be
de-energized by the user. The output may be energized when the unit is not
connected to a main power supply, thus, a shock hazard may be present.
CAUTION!
(RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK) HAZARDOUS LIVE PARTS
INSIDE THIS UNIT ARE ENERGIZED FROM THE BATTERY SUPPLY EVEN WHEN
THE INPUT AC POWER IS NOT CONNECTED.
CAUTION!
(RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK) DO NOT REMOVE COVER. NO
USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE, PLEASE REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED
SERVICE PERSONNEL.

AC INPUT POWER RECEPTACLE
3.10 AC BREAKER (CIRCUIT BREAKER)
The circuit breaker button will stick out if an overload condition forces the
UPS to disconnect itself from utility power. If the button sticks out,
disconnect non-essential equipment.
3.11 BATTERY BACK-UP OUTLET
Data-sensitive equipment, such as a computer, monitor, and external drive
should be powered by these outlets. Battery power is automatically
provided in case of a power outage. Power (utility or battery) is not
supplied to these outlets when the UPS is switched off. (Do not plug surge
protectors or power strips into the battery back-up outlets.)
3.12 SURGE-ONLY PROTECTED OUTLETS
Equipment such as a printer, fax machine, scanner, or desk lamp should
be powered by these outlets. These outlets do not provide power during a
power outage. These outlets are always on (when utility power is available)
and are not controlled by the front panel switches.
Note: During the self-test, the UPS briefly operates the loads on-battery (the on-
battery LED comes on). If the UPS passes the self-test, it returns to on-
line operation.
The on-battery LED goes off and the on-line LED goes on steady. If the
UPS fails the self-test, it immediately returns to on-line operation and
lights the “REPLACE BATTERY” LED. The loads are not affected. Recharge
the battery overnight and perform the self-test again. If the “REPLACE
BATTERY” LED is still on, the battery will need to be replaced.

CAUTION:
Never connect a laser printer or scanner to the
backup outlets of the UPS with other computer equipment. A laser
printer or scanner periodically draws significantly more power when
in use than when idle. This may overload the UPS.
Installation
4.7
Connect the Telephone/Fax/Modem Lines
Connect a single-line telephone/fax/modem line into the surge-protected
sockets on the back of the UPS. The RJ45/RJ11 modular sockets accept
standard single-line telephone connections. This connection will require
another length of telephone cable (supplied).
Note: This connection is optional but highly suggested as telephone/fax/modem
lines often carry dangerous surges and spikes. The UPS works properly
without a telephone/fax/modem connection.
CAUTION:
The telephone/fax/modem protection feature could
be rendered inoperable if improperly installed. Make sure that the
telephone line from the wall is plugged into the connector marked
"IN", and the device to be protected (telephone/fax/modem) is
plugged into the connector marked "OUT".
CAUTION:
This surge-protection device is for indoor use only.
Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
