1. Main Power Switch

This switch activates three separate UPS functions:

UPS Power

Press the switch, hold it for 3 seconds and release it to turn the UPS ON or OFF.*

Alarm Silence

Press the switch and immediately release it to silence the UPS Alarm.

UPS Cold Start

Press the switch, hold it for 5 seconds and release it to turn your UPS ON and to use it as a stand-alone power source (operating from the battery without AC input).**

* The UPS will execute a 10-second self-test when you turn it on. The “Normal" LED will illuminate, and

the UPS will beep once to indicate the UPS is turned ON. If the UPS alarm sounds and the "Replace Battery" LED illuminates, turn your UPS OFF, let your UPS charge its batteries for 12 hours and turn UPS back ON to repeat the automatic self-test. If alarm still sounds, contact Tripp Lite for service. CAUTION: Do not unplug your UPS to test its batteries. This will remove safe electrical grounding and may introduce a damaging surge into your network connections.
