not be covered by the Philips Connected Equipment Warranty. Most TV/VCR/DVDR/ cable box damage can be prevented if you take the time to connect the coaxial cable protection.

To connect coaxial cable protection:

1Connect the incoming cable/broadband line to the first gold-plated coaxial con- nector input on your UPS.

2Connect a coaxial cable into the gold- plated coaxial connector output on your UPS.

3Connect the other end of the coaxial cable to the coaxial connector input of

the device you want to protect.

4Repeat this process to connect three additional video devices.

Note

To claim damage under the Philips Connect- ed Equipment Warranty as a result of coaxial line transients, your equipment must be properly connected to a Philips UPS which offers coaxial line protection.

3.3Check the power requirement of your equipment

Before turning on your UPS, you must first confirm that that the total power of your equipment does not exceed 1440VA, the total rating capacity of the unit.

To determine the total power of your equip- ment:

1Check the rear panel of each device for a power rating.This number is followed by either W or VA and usually located

near the power cord.

2Total the power requirements.

Note

If the power requirement of your equip- ment is listed other than VA, convert the requirement into VA by doing the follow- ing calculations:

For 120V systems:Watt (W) x 2 = ___VA or Amps (A) x 120V = ___VA

You must also confirm that the equip- ment plugged into the battery back-up outlets does not require total power exceeding 1000VA, 500Watts, the capacity of the UPS. If the power requirement of the connected equipment exceeds the capacity for the UPS, overload may occur, causing the circuit breaker to trip.When an overload occurs, the UPS will emit a continuous alarm to warn you of this situ- ation.The UPS will then automatically turn off to protect itself and the connected equipment.You must then remove a device to correct the problem before returning power to the UPS.
