If the rear panel Building Wiring Fault (red) indicator is lit, a potential shock hazard exists due to one of the following conditions:

Open or high resistance ground

Hot or neutral polarity reversed

Overloaded neutral circuit

Improper building wiring should be corrected by a qualified electrician. Do not use the Back-UPS until the condition that caused the fault is corrected.

Note: Improper building wiring will not prevent the Back-UPS from operating, but it will limit its protection capability.

8SWITCH ON THE BACK-UPS

Note: Allow the Back-UPS to charge for a full eight (8) hours prior to use.

Press the front panel Power ON/OFF switch and observe that the following events occur after pressing and releasing the switch:

• The green On Line indicator flashes.

The yellow On Battery indicator lights while a Self-Test is being performed.

When Self-Test has successfully completed, only the green On Line indicator will be lit.

If the internal battery cartridge is not connected (see Step 1 above), the green On Line indicator and red Replace Battery indicators will light. The Back-UPS will also emit a chirping sound.

NOTE: Macintosh Users - for full USB performance, use Mac OS 10.1.5 or higher.

If Autoplay is not enabled on the computer, proceed as follows:

1.On the computer desktop of the display, double- click on My Computer.

2.Double-click on the CD-ROM drive icon and follow the on-screen instructions.

GROUND

(optional)

The Back-UPS features a transient voltage surge-suppression (TVSS) screw for connecting the ground lead on additional surge suppression devices such as network and data line surge protectors.

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.
