3 Getting Started

This section helps you with the first time installation of your UPS.

3.1 Connect your UPS

Warning

Carefully read the safety precautions in Section 1. Important, before you connect your UPS.

Warning

Before connecting your UPS to a power outlet, make sure the electrical power voltage matches with the UPS. For ex- ample, if the UPS voltage is 120V, the incoming electrical power should be 120V as well.

Caution

Do not use any extension cords, adapters, other grounding wires or electrical con- nections with your UPS. Doing so will void all Philips warranties.

To connect your UPS:

1Release the power cord from its twist tie.

2Plug the end into a 3-wire grounded AC outlet.

Note

Make certain that the 3-wire grounded AC outlet that you are plugging the UPS into does not also service any appliances requiring heavy electricity, such as a refrig- erator, air conditioner, copier, etc.

Note

It is possible that your UPS battery may have become depleted during shipping or

storage.To ensure the best performance from your UPS, allow the battery to re- charge at least six hours before first using your UPS.To charge the battery, simply plug the UPS into a properly grounded AC outlet and turn on.Turn off before con- necting components

3Plug your primary equipment’s (e.g. computer, monitor, any critical data storage device) power cords directly into the battery back-up outlets of your UPS.

4Plug your peripherals (e.g. printer, fax, video and audio devices) into the surge protected outlets of the UPS.

Note

Do not plug a laser printer or plotter into your UPS. Its power demands are much higher than typical peripherals and may overload the UPS, causing the circuit breaker to trip.

3.2Connect your UPS to a phone/ fax/modem

Your UPS offers Solid State phone/fax/ modem protection.This requires you to connect your phone/fax/modem to the protected jacks on your UPS instead of connecting directly to the wall jack.

This telephone line protection is designed to provide maximum protection from surges present on two-line or “dial-up” telephone service. Other communications networks which happen to use modular jacks may not benefit from this protection.
