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 connected (see above). A battery that is near the end of its useful 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.

If the Back-UPS arrived damaged, notify the carrier.

If the Back-UPS requires service, do not return it to the dealer. The following steps should be taken:

1.Consult the Troubleshooting section to eliminate common problems.

2.If the problem persists, go to http:// www.apc.com/support/.

3.If the problem still persists, contact APC Technical Support.

4.Have the Back-UPS model number, serial number and date of purchase available. Be prepared to troubleshoot the problem with an APC Technical Support representative. If this is not successful, APC will issue a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number and a shipping address.
