select models. If PowerAlert is included with your model, insert the CD into the CD tray of your computer and follow the installation instructions. If PowerAlert Software and the appropriate cable did not come with your UPS, you can obtain the software FREE via the Web at www.tripplite.com. Any user-supplied USB cable may then be used to connect your UPS to your computer. Note: This connection is optional. The UPS will work properly without this connection. Also Note: This UPS System automatically provides basic communication compatibility with most integrated Windows®, Macintosh® and Linux® power management applications.

CAUTION: Users shall take proper care to minimize Electro- Static events. In the event of a severe Electro-Static Discharge on or near the USB port, this UPS may shut down automatically. In the case of a shut down, the UPS will need to be turned back on.

7 Tel/DSL Protection Jacks: RJ-style jacks protect connected equipment by stopping surges on a single phone, fax or modem line. Connect a phone cord from the wall jack directly to the Tel/DSL jack labeled “IN.” Connect a phone cord from the Tel/DSL jack labeled “OUT” directly to the device to be protected. The UPS system must always be the first item connected in line from the wall jack. The UPS system must be plugged into a grounded AC outlet for Tel/DSL line surge protection to work. Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional. Your UPS will work properly without this connection.

4 Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected Outlets: Provide both battery backup and surge protection. Plug your computer, monitor and other critical equipment into these outlets. NOTE: DO NOT PLUG LASER PRINTERS INTO THESE OUTLETS.

5 Surge-Only Protected Outlets: Provide surge and line noise protection, not battery backup. Plug equipment (such as a printer, scanner or fax machine) that does not require battery backup during a utility power failure into these outlets.

6USB Communication Port: This port can connect your UPS to a computer in order to automatically save open files and shut down the computer if it is left unattended during an extended power failure. Use with Tripp Lite's PowerAlert Software and appropriate USB cable. A PowerAlert CD and USB cable are included with

8AC Input Outlet: This outlet accepts a user-supplied power cord with a country-specific plug.

Battery replacement should be performed only by qualified service personnel. During battery replacement, qualified service personnel should refer to “Battery Warnings” in the Safety section and should observe the following procedure: turn the UPS off, unplug the power cord and remove the two screws on the UPS back panel to access the internal battery. Tripp Lite offers a complete line of replacement batteries at www.tripplite.com.

Storage & Service

Storage

To avoid battery drain, all connected equipment should be turned off and disconnected from the UPS. Press and hold the ON/OFF button for one second. Your UPS will be completely turned off (deactivated), and will be ready for storage. If you plan on storing your UPS for an extended period, fully recharge the UPS batteries every three months. Plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, turn it on by pressing and holding the ON/OFF button for one second, and allow the batteries to recharge for 24 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for a long period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.

Service

Before returning your UPS for service, follow these steps: 1. Review the installation and operation instructions in this manual to ensure that the service problem does not originate from a misreading of the instructions. 2. If the problem continues, do not contact or return the UPS to the dealer. Instead, call Tripp Lite at (773) 869-1234 domestically or (773) 869-1212 internationally. A service technician

will ask for the UPS's model number, serial number and purchase date and will attempt to correct the problem over the phone. 3. If the problem requires service, the technician will issue you a Returned Material Authorization (RMA) number, which is required for service. If you require packaging, the technician can arrange to send you proper packaging. Securely pack the UPS to avoid damage during shipping. Do not use Styrofoam beads for packaging. Any damages (direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential) to the UPS incurred during shipment to Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service center is not covered under warranty. UPS Systems shipped to Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service center must have transportation charges prepaid. Mark the RMA number on the outside of the package. If the UPS System is within the 2-year warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales receipt. Return the UPS for service using an insured carrier to the address given to you by the Tripp Lite service technician.
