Turning the UPS On

To turn on the UPS, press the button on the front panel (shown in Figure 7). After
the UPS is turned on, it conducts a self-test and enters Normal mode. The indicator
illuminates indicating that power is available from the UPS output receptacles.
Starting the UPS on Battery
To turn on the UPS without using utility power, press and hold the button for two
seconds. When the UPS starts on battery, it does not conduct a self-test to conserve
battery power.

Turning the UPS Off

To turn off the UPS, press the button on the front panel and then unplug the UPS
from the power outlet. If you do not unplug the UPS, it remains in Standby mode.

Standby Mode

When the UPS is turned off and remains plugged into a power outlet, the UPS is in
Standby mode. The battery recharges when necessary and the indicator is off,
indicating that power is not available from the UPS output receptacles.
NOTE The UPS does not auto-detect the input frequency when starting on battery; the
default is the last frequency used by the UPS.
