Basic Operation

UPS ON/OFF

Plug the UPS into a grounded outlet.

Turn the UPS on: Press and hold the MODE button for 2 seconds. The UPS alarm will beep once briefly after 2 seconds have passed.

Plug equipment into the UPS: Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS if the total VA ratings for all the equipment you connect to the “Battery, Surge and Noise Protected” outlets exceeds the UPS’s Output Capacity. To estimate your equipment’s power requirements, look on the nameplate. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 120 to determine VA, (Example: 1 amp x 120 = 120 VA). Your UPS is fully loaded when the display indicates 100% load.

Turn the UPS off: Press and hold the MODE button for 2.5 seconds. The UPS alarm will beep once after 2.5 seconds have passed.

LCD Display

The LCD Display indicates a variety of UPS operational conditions. All descriptions apply when the UPS is plugged into an AC outlet and turned on. The LCD Display can be rotated for easy viewing, regardless of whether the UPS is in a horizontal or vertical (“tower”) position. To rotate the display, insert a small tool in the slots on the sides of the display to pop it out of the UPS housing; rotate the display, and snap it back into the UPS housing.

LCD Features

Tap the MODE button to advance from one display to the next. Use the MUTE button to toggle settings for Power Sensitivity Control, External Battery Setting Control, Scroll Control, Alarm, LCD Brightness and Self-test functions. The last option displayed before navigating away from this menu option will be the selected setting. When the preferred setting has been selected,

continue by pressing the MODE button. If the screen is idle for 20 seconds, the LCD will return to the home screen, retaining the last selected settings.
