Quick Installation
STEP 1: Place the UPS in either
a horizontal or vertical ("tower")
position.
The UPS housing is designed with sides that slope
slightly in order to tilt the LCD Display up for easy
viewing in either position—horizontal or vertical. As
another aid to easy viewing, the LCD Display can be
rotated. To rotate the display: carefully insert a small
tool in the slots on the sides of the display to pop it
out of the UPS housing; rotate the display, and snap it back into the UPS housing.
CAUTION: To safely balance the UPS when it is placed in a vertical ("tower") position, make sure the LCD Display is located
at the top of the front panel.
STEP 2: Using your computer's detachable power cord, plug the UPS into a wall outlet.
Remove your computer's detachable power cord. Insert the female plug of the computer's cord into your UPS AC input. Insert the male plug
of your computer's cord into an AC wall outlet that does not share a circuit with a heavy electrical load (such as an air conditioner or
refrigerator).
After plugging the UPS into a wall outlet, push the ON/OFF button for one second to turn the UPS on (see Basic Operation section).
Note: The UPS will not turn on automatically in the presence of live utility power.
STEP 3: Plug your equipment into the UPS.*
Insert the female plug of the detachable power cord that came with your UPS into the computer's AC
input. Insert the UPS cord's male plug into any of your UPS female output receptacles. Select outlets
(see diagram) will provide battery backup and surge protection; plug your computer, monitor and
other critical devices here. Select outlets (see diagram) will provide surge protection only; plug your
printer and other non-essential devices here.
* Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for
all the equipment you connect to the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets exceeds the UPS 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 230 to determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 230 = 230 VA). If you are unsure if
you have overloaded the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets, run a self-test (see "MUTE/TEST"
Button description).
CAUTION: The UPS must be plugged into a live AC outlet and turned on for 24 hours after initial installation to fully charge
the UPS internal battery. Your connected equipment will receive utility-supplied AC power (if present) immediately after the
UPS is plugged in and turned on; however, your connected equipment may not receive full battery backup in the event of a
blackout or severe brownout unless the UPS internal battery is fully charged.
