Use this momentary switch to do three things:

Silence the UPS alarm*

Move this switch to the left and release it. Note: When the battery is nearly depleted the alarm resumes (and cannot be silenced) to alert you to immediately shut down connected equipment.

*The UPS alarm consists of a series of short beeps followed by a brief pause. The alarm is activated when the UPS switches to battery during a blackout or brownout.

Test your UPS's battery charge**

Leave your connected equipment ON. With your UPS plugged in and turned ON, move this switch to the left; hold it there for 2 seconds and release it. The UPS will momentarily switch to battery to test its charge. If the UPS alarm sounds 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 and release when the " " indicator light begins to flash.
