*Your UPS is designed to support only computer equipment. You will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment you connect exceeds the UPS's Output Capacity (see Specifications). To find your equipment's VA ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 240 to determine VA. (Example: 1 amp × 240 = 240 VA). If you are unsure if you have overloaded the UPS’s outlets, see “OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL” LED description.
