1. Plug the UPS into an outlet that doesn’t share a circuit with a heavy electrical load.*
* An air conditioner, refrigerator, etc.
NOTE! The HT1500UPS will not automatically turn on in the presence of live utility power. After plugging the UPS into the wall outlet, push the ON/OFF/TEST Button for one second to turn the UPS on.
2.Plug your equipment into the UPS: Select outlets (see diagram) will provide battery backup and surge protection; plug your components that require battery backup (such as receivers, recorders, etc.) into these outlets.* Select outlets (see diagram) will provide surge protection only; plug your components that do not require battery backup (such as speakers or printers) into these outlets.
*Your UPS is designed to only support home theater components or computer equipment. You will overload the UPS if the total ratings for all the equipment you connect to the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets exceeds the UPS’s Output Capacity (450 Watts). To find your equipment’s ratings, look on their nameplates. If you are unsure if you have overloaded the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets, run a

6Coax Protection Jacks: gold coaxial “F” connectors protect components by stopping surges on a single DSS satellite, cable or antenna line. Connect a coaxial cable from the wall jack directly to the coaxial jack labeled “IN.” Connect a coaxial cable from the coaxial jack labeled “OUT” directly to the device to be protected. The UPS system must always be the first item connected in line from the coaxial wall jack. The UPS system must be plugged into a
7USB Communication Port (side panel, not shown): connects to a computer for automatic unattended shutdown. Use any USB cable to connect the USB port of your computer to the USB port of your UPS. Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional. The UPS will work properly without this connection. Install the PowerAlert UPS monitoring software program appropriate for your operating system.
8Tel/DSLProtection Jacks: stop surges on the phone or fax line. Built in splitter (one jack in and two jacks out) allow you to simultaneously connect two devices sharing a single line. Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional. The UPS will work properly without this connection. The UPS system must always be the first item connected in line from the wall jack. The UPS system must be plugged into a

Storage, Service & Warranty Registration
StorageAll connected equipment should be turned off and disconnected from the UPS to avoid battery drain. Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST Button for one second. The UPS will be completely off (deactivated). Your UPS is now ready for storage.
