Safety Information

CAUTION:

•Risk of electrical shock—hazardous live parts inside. The Unit is energized by the battery supply even when the input AC power is off.

•Risk of electrical shock—do not open the case.

•No user-serviceable parts exist inside the Unit. Refer repair issues only to qualified personnel. Fuses or other parts must be replaced ONLY with parts of identical types and ratings. Substitution of non-identical parts can cause fire and other

safety hazards.

•The Unit is intended for installation and operation in a controlled environment (a temperature-controlled, indoor area free of conductive contaminants).

•Incorrect battery connection or replacement creates risk of explosion.

•All batteries used are sealed-lead batteries. Batteries should be recycled.

System Requirements

The Lighthouse Battery Backup can be used without the software with any computer using up to a 17-inch CRT or LCD monitor. You do not have to have the software installed to utilize the battery-backup outlets.

To fully utilize the Unit and its software, your computer must be running one of the following operating systems: Windows® 98, Me, NT® 4, 2000, 2003, XP, and have a USB port.

Features and Functions

1Battery-Backup Outlets (Fig. 1)

Only data-sensitive equipment such as a computer, monitor, and external drive should be plugged into these outlets. Battery power is automatically provided in case of a power outage. Power (AC or battery) is not supplied to these outlets when the Unit is switched off. (Do not plug surge protectors or power strips into the battery-backup outlets.)

Caution: Never connect a laser printer or scanner to the backup outlets along with other computer equipment. To do so might overload the Unit.

2Surge-Protected-Only Outlets (Fig. 1)

Plug in equipment such as computer peripherals, printers, fax machines, or desk lamps to these outlets.

NOTE: These outlets do not provide battery power during an outage. The “On/Off” button does not control these outlets.

Do not plug surge protectors or power strips into the battery-backup outlets (i.e., daisy-chaining).

3AC Circuit Breaker (Fig. 1)

Should a power overload occur, the circuit breaker triggers the Unit to turn off AC power. To restore power, depress the “circuit breaker” button to reset, then depress the “Power” button.
