• Battery Backup + Surge Protection Outlets
  Battery backup outlets provide protection to connected equipment when the
  Back-UPS is turned on and connected to AC power. Battery backup outlets receive power from the battery for a limited period of time when a power outage or brownout condition occurs. Battery backup outlets provide protection from power surges or spikes. Connect a computer, monitor, and other peripheral devices to these outlets.

• Surge Protection Outlets
  Surge protection outlets provide protection to connected equipment when the Back-UPS is connected to AC power, and is switched on or off. Surge protection outlets provide protection from power surges or spikes. Connect peripheral devices (such as printer, scanner, etc.) that do not need to remain on during power outages or AC problems to the surge protection outlets.

• USB charging port
  The USB port provides a maximum of 1.5A DC power. The USB port will provide power when the unit is on AC and on battery.

Turn On the Back-UPS

• Press the POWER button located on the top of the Back-UPS. The POWER button will illuminate green and a single short beep will indicate that the Back-UPS is on and providing protection for connected equipment.
• The Back-UPS battery charges fully during the first 24 hours while connected to AC power. The Back-UPS battery will charge regardless of whether the Back-UPS is switched on or off as long as it is connected to AC power. The UPS will have full runtime capability after the initial 24 hour charging period.
• If the red Building Wiring Fault indicator (located on the end near the power cord) is lit, your building wiring may present a shock hazard that should be corrected by a qualified electrician.

Turn Off the Back-UPS

• To turn off the Back-UPS, press the POWER button for at least 2 seconds. At the first beep, release the button, and the UPS will turn off. A 2-second delay has been added to mitigate unintentional contact with the POWER button.

Quick Mute

• The Back-UPS is able to temporarily mute user-correctable alarms such as: On Battery, Battery disconnected, and Overload.
• During such alarms, a short press (less than 2 seconds) of the POWER button will temporarily mute the alarm until the condition has been reset. A short double beep will confirm that Quick Mute has been activated. Pressing the POWER button for more than 2 seconds will turn off the UPS.
• Other critical events such as Battery replacement and Charger notifications can not be temporarily muted. The unit in these cases must be turned off.

On Battery Indicator Modes

This Back-UPS has 3 On Battery Indicator modes provided that the UPS is turned on. To configure an On Battery Indicator mode, hold down the POWER button and wait for the third beep. At the third beep, the POWER button will cycle red/green. Release the POWER button and its color will indicate the mode the UPS is in. Press the POWER button to cycle through each mode.
