INSTALL SOFTWARE ON
COMPUTER
There are four status indicators (lights) on the
front panel of the Back-UPS (On Line, On
Battery, Overload, and Replace Battery).
On Line (green) - is lit whenever utility
power is powering the Battery Backup
outlets.
On Battery (yellow) - is lit whenever the
battery of the Back-UPS is powering
equipment connected to the Battery
Backup Outlets.
Four Beeps Every 30 Seconds - this
alarm is sounded whenever the Back-UPS
is running On Battery. Consider saving
work in progress.
Overload (red) - is lit whenever power
demand has exceeded the capacity of the
Back-UPS.
Continuous Tone - this alarm is sounded
whenever the Battery Backup outlets are
overloaded.
Circuit Breaker - the circuit breaker button
located on the rear panel of the Back-UPS
will stick out if an overload condition forces
the Back-UPS to disconnect itself from
utility power. If the button sticks out,
disconnect non-essential equipment. Reset
the circuit breaker by pushing the button
inward.
Replace Battery (red) - is lit whenever the
battery is near the end of its useful life, or
if the battery is not connected (see above).
A battery that is near the end of its useful
life has insufficient run-time and should be
replaced.
Chirps for 1 Minute Every 5 Hours - this
alarm is sounded whenever the battery has
failed the automatic diagnostic test.
Continuous Beeping - this alarm is
sounded whenever a low battery condition
is reached. Battery run-time is very low.
Promptly save any work in progress and
exit all open applications. Shutdown the
operating system, computer and the Back-
UPS.
NOTE: Macintosh Users - for full USB
performance, use OS 9.22 or higher.
If Autoplay is not enabled on the computer,
proceed as follows:
1. On the computer desktop of the display,
double-click on My Computer.
