Battery Warnings
• Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current. Observe
proper precautions. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Do not open the UPS or batteries.
Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. There are no user-serviceable
parts inside the UPS. At the end of the UPS system’s life, follow best practice by discharging
the battery prior to disposal. Refer to local codes for disposal requirements. Do not connect or
disconnect battery packs when the UPS system is operating on battery power.
• Do not operate the UPS system without batteries.
Note:
UPS system will function properly upon initial startup. However, maximum runtime for the unit’s battery will
only be accessible after it has been charged for 24 hours.
1
Plug the UPS system into an outlet that does not share a circuit with a heavy electrical load, such
as an air conditioner or refrigerator.
2
Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST button for one second to power on the UPS system. The alarm
will beep once briefly after one second has passed.
Note:
the UPS system will only power on, even if connected to live utility power, using the ON/OFF/TEST button.
3
Plug your equipment into the UPS system’s outlets. All outlets provide surge protection and noise
filtering. Essential equipment that also requires battery support during power failures, such as a
computer and monitor, should be plugged into the battery backup outlets, which are marked with
a battery symbol.
Note:
your UPS system is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS system if
the total VA rating for all equipment connected to the battery backup outlets exceeds the UPS system’s output
capacity. Look at the equipment’s nameplates to find their VA ratings. If the equipment is listed in amps,
multiply the number of amps by 120 to determine VA (for example, 1 amp x 120 = 120VA). If you are unsure
you have overloaded the battery backup outlets, use the ON/OFF/TEST button to run a self-test.
