There are four status indicators (lights) on the front panel of the Back-UPS (On Line, On Battery, Overload, and Replace Battery).

On Line

On Battery

Overload

Replace Battery

On Line (green) - is lit whenever utility power is powering the Battery Backup outlets.

On Battery (yellow) - is lit whenever the battery of the Back-UPS is powering equipment connected to the Battery Backup Outlets.

Four Beeps Every 30 Seconds - this alarm is sounded whenever the Back-UPS is running On Battery. Consider saving work in progress.

Continuous Beeping - this alarm is sounded whenever a low battery condition is reached. Battery run-time is very low. Promptly save any work in progress and exit all open applications. Shutdown the operating system, computer and

the Back-UPS.

Overload (red) - is lit whenever power demand has exceeded the capacity of the Back-UPS.

Continuous Tone - this alarm is sounded whenever the Battery Backup outlets are overloaded.

Circuit Breaker - the circuit breaker button located on the rear panel of the Back-UPS will stick out if an overload condition forces the Back- UPS to disconnect itself from utility power. If the button sticks out, disconnect non-essential equipment. Reset the circuit breaker by pushing the button inward.

Replace Battery (red) - is lit whenever the battery is near the end of its useful life, or if the battery is not con- nected (see above). A battery that is near the end of its use- ful life has insufficient run-time and should be replaced.

Chirps for 1 Minute Every 5 Hours - this alarm is sounded whenever the battery has failed the automatic diagnostic test.
