Use the MUTE/TEST button to do two things:

SILENCE ALARM: Your UPS has three alarms. The first, the INVERT alarm, emits four short beeps every ten seconds when the UPS is in INVERT mode, to warn you that AC power has failed. The second, the OVERLOAD alarm, emits short, rapid beeps when the UPS is in INVERT mode if the total power draw of connected equipment exceeds the UPS’s output capacity to warn you to reduce the load. The third, the Low Battery alarm, emits a constant beep when the UPS is in INVERT mode and its batteries are very nearly depleted, to warn you that connected equipment must shut down. To silence the INVERT or OVERLOAD alarms, press the MUTE/TEST button. The LOW BATTERY alarm will only stop when the UPS switches to the OFF or ON mode.

SELF-TEST BATTERIES AND ALARMS: If your UPS is in the ON mode and has a load connected, you may test its batteries by pressing the MUTE/TEST button for two seconds. The UPS will switch to INVERT mode for several seconds. Normally, the INVERT alarm (four short beeps) will sound, indicating that the system is working properly. If the OVERLOAD alarm (short, rapid beeps) sounds, reduce the load on the UPS. If the LOW BATTERY alarm (a constant beep) sounds, your UPS’s batteries may need replacing or the batteries may simply be less than fully charged. Let the UPS charge for twelve hours, then perform a second self-test. If the LOW BATTERY alarm sounds again, contact Tripp Lite for service. It is likely your UPS requires a battery replacement.

LINE POWER: This green light will turn ON whenever your UPS is receiving normal AC line power. It will flash while the UPS is in CHARGE ONLY mode to indicate that the UPS will not provide battery backup during a blackout or brownout.

BATTERY POWER: This yellow light will turn ON when your UPS is providing your equipment with battery power.

BATTERY CHARGE: This red light will turn ON continuously after the UPS runs a self-test to indicate that the UPS’s battery is weakly charged. If it remains lit after you have allowed the UPS to charge for twelve hours and run a second self-test, contact Tripp Lite for service. It is likely your UPS requires a battery replacement.
