For All Models—Plug your equipment into
the UPS.
You will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all of the
equipment you connect exceeds the UPS’s Output Capacity. To
find your equipment’s VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the
equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 120 to
determine VA (Example: 1 amp x 120 = 120VA). If you are unsure
if you have overloaded the UPS’s outlets, see “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL”
LED description.

For Smart Models Only—
Turn the UPS ON.
Press and hold the “POWER” button for one second. The
alarm will beep once briefly after one second has passed.
Release the button.
For OmniSmart Models Only—
Select UPS Operating Mode.*
For Smart Models Only:
After you plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, the UPS will automatically charge its batteries
but will not supply power to its outlets until it is turned ON (see Step 3 below). The BATTERY
CHARGE LED will be the only LED illuminated.
For OmniSmart Models Only:
Your UPS will run a self-test after it is plugged in. See Basic Operation section to understand
the results of its self-test.
Press the UPS/STANDBY button to toggle your UPS between the UPS (“POWER” LED lit) and
the STANDBY (“POWER” LED flashing) modes. Choose the operating mode based on your
location:
USA, Canada & Western Europe:
• Leave the UPS in the UPS mode at all times.
All Other Countries:
• Put the UPS in STANDBY mode when you are not using connected equipment.
(WARNING! When set to “CHARGE ONLY,” the UPS will not provide battery backup
during a blackout or brownout.)
• Put the UPS in UPS mode when you are using connected equipment.
*See Basic Operation section for a complete explanation of each mode.
