2USB Communications
(Select Models Only)
Using the cable provided, connect the USB port of your computer to the USB port of your UPS. Download the PowerAlert UPS monitoring software program appropriate for your operating system from www.tripplite.com and install it on your computer.
3Tel/DSL Protection
(Select Models Only)
Using telephone cords, connect your wall jack to the UPS jack marked “LINE” (or “IN”) and your equipment to the UPS jack marked “EQUIP” (or “OUT”). This will protect your equipment from surges over the phone line, but you should make sure that your equipment is also protected against surges on the AC line.
UPS models with tel/DSL protection can protect two lines on one cable simultaneously. If you want to protect two lines that travel through separate cables, you must use “Y” splitters appropriate to your application to adapt them to your UPS's phone jacks.
4External Batteries
(Select Models Only)
External batteries are only needed to extend run- time. Adding external batteries will increase recharge time as well as runtime.
The illustration shows the location of your UPS’s External Battery Connector, where you will insert the battery pack cable. Complete installation and mounting instructions for your battery pack appear in the battery pack’s owner’s manual. Make sure that cables are fully inserted into their connectors. Small sparks may result during battery connection; this is normal.
