Quick Installation
Plug your UPS into an
electrical outlet.
Plug your computer, monitor
and external modem into your
UPS's battery-supported
outlets.

You will overload your UPS if you connect devices with high
power draws (such as some household appliances, laser
printers and surge suppressors) to battery-supported outlets.If
your UPS is equipped with "Surge Only" outlets (which would
be labelled as such on the back of your UPS), you may connect
these devices to the "Surge Only" outlets. Equipment connected
to "Surge Only" outlets will not receive battery power in the
event of a power outage.
Set your UPS’s “OFF – ON”
Switch.
