This switch activates the battery charger and intelligent microprocessor. Always leave it in the “ENABLE” position when your UPS is plugged in. Set the switch to “DISABLE” only if you store or ship your UPS (to reduce battery drain).

*Note: the location of the switch varies by model. The “ ” light will flash until you engage the ON/Standby Switch to activate the “ON” mode (power ON at the UPS receptacles).
