If you prefer to avoid the staged shutdown procedure, then you have the ability to override it and supply power to all the rear power outlets until the usable battery power is depleted or the power comes back on (whichever comes first).

Stage Time

You have the ability to see how much approximate battery-backup time each stage has. You can check these times before and during a power outage. The “Stage Time” button on the front control panel enables you to cycle through the estimated battery-backup times.

Of course, the estimated times are based on which components are on at that moment and how much power each is consuming. Changes in your home theater system’s power consumption will affect battery-backup time. Your AVU1500 intelligently estimates these times knowing and taking planned changes into account: It knows how much power is being consumed by each stage of its three-stage shutdown sequence. Unplanned changes (e.g., if you manually turn things on or off) are handled as they happen: Changes can be detected and your AVU1500 will recalculate estimated remaining battery time.
