5. Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounding receptacle (wall outlet). Make sure the wall branch
outlet is protected by a fuse or circuit breaker and does not service equipment with large electrical
demands (e.g. refrigerator, copier, etc…). Avoid using extension cords. If used, the extension
cord must be rated for
10
amps.
6. Depress the power switch to turn the unit on. The power on indicator light will illuminate and the
unit will “beep” once.
7. If an overload is detected, an audible alarm will sound and the unit will emit one long beep. To
correct this, turn the UPS off and unplug at least one piece of equipment from the battery power
supplied outlets. Wait 10 seconds. Make sure the circuit breaker is depressed and then turn the
UPS on.
8. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
9. To store your UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. Re-
charge the battery every three months to insure battery life.
