Test your UPS's battery charge**

 

With your connected equipment and your UPS turned ON, move

 

this switch to the left; hold it there for 2 seconds and release it. The

 

UPS will beep and flash its LEDs as it momentarily switches to

 

battery to test its charge. If the UPS alarm sounds afterwards, or

 

the properly-sized load is not supported, let your UPS charge its

 

batteries for 12 hours and repeat the test. If alarm still sounds,

 

contact Tripp Lite for service. CAUTION: Do not unplug your UPS to

 

test its batteries. This will remove safe electrical grounding and

 

may introduce a damaging surge into your network connections.

 

**If your model is not equipped with this switch, you can still test your UPS batteries. First plug your UPS

 

into a grounded surge suppressor (which will maintain the ground connection), then turn the surge

 

suppressor's power switch OFF.

 

Cold-Start your UPS

 

If your UPS is equipped with a MUTE/TEST switch, you may “cold

 

start” it and use it as a stand-alone power source when utility

 

power is not present, providing that the UPS's battery is charged.

 

To “cold start” your UPS, first turn the "OFF/ON" switch ON.

 

Then, move the MUTE/TEST switch to the left, hold momentarily

4and release when the "" indicator light begins to flash.
