Surge Protection
These outlets are powered whenever the Back-UPS ES is
switched ON. During a power outage or other utility problems
(brownouts, over-voltages), these outlets will be powered for a
limited time by the Back-UPS ES. Plug your computer,
monitor, CD-ROM drive and one other data-sensitive device
such as an external disk or tape drive, or Home Phoneline
Networking Association (HPNA) device into these outlets.
Press the ON/OFF switch to power the unit
ON.
A single short beep and the green “Power On”
indicator confirms the Back-UPS ES is on and
ready to provide protection.
The Back-UPS ES should charge for at least 16
hours to ensure sufficient runtime. The unit is
being charged whenever it is connected to utility
power, whether the unit is turned ON or OFF.
If the red Building Wiring Fault indicator (located
on the end near the power cord) is lit, your
building wiring presents a shock hazard that
should be corrected by a qualified electrician.

For safety, the Back-UPS ES is shipped with one battery wire disconnected. The UPS will not operate until the wire is connected to the touch-safe
battery terminal. NOTE: Small sparks may occur during battery connection. This is normal.
Turn the Back-UPS ES over and press in the
two release tabs. Slide the plastic battery
cover off the unit.
Insert the battery back into the compartment.
Slide the plastic battery cover in place until the
two tabs lock into place.
Connect the battery wire firmly to

Connect Modem / Phone / DSL / Fax / 10/100Base-T / HPNA / Cable Modem /
CATV or DSS to Surge Protection
The Back-UPS protects a single line (2-wire) phone (including Digital Suscriber Line -
DSL), Home Phoneline Networking Association (HPNA) type equipment, modem, 10/
100Base-T Ethernet, or fax machines from surges when connected through the UPS
as shown in the drawing below.
The UPS also protects a cable modem, CATV converter, or DSS receiver from surges
when it is connected through the UPS coaxial connectors as shown in the drawing
below.
Place the Back-UPS ES to avoid:
- Direct sunlight
- Excessive heat
- Excessive humidity or contact with fluids
Plug the Back-UPS ES power cord directly into a wall outlet; not a surge
protector or power strip.
Connect Computer Cable
The supplied cable and software provide automatic file saving and shutdown of the
operating system in the case of a sustained power outage.
Connect the cable to the Data Port of the Back-UPS ES. Connect the other end of the
cable to the USB port on your computer. The software will automatically find the USB
Port of your computer.
