HARDWARE INSTALLATION GUIDE
1. Your new UPS may be used immediately upon receipt. However, recharging the battery for at least 8 hours is
recommended to ensure that the battery's maximum charge capacity is achieved. Charge loss may occur during
shipping and storage. To recharge the battery, simply leave the unit plugged into an AC outlet. The unit will charge
in both the on and off position.
2. With the UPS unit off and unplugged, connect the computer, monitor, and any externally powered data storage
device (Zip drive, Jazz drive, Tape drive, etc. into the battery power supplied outlets. DO NOT plug a laser printer,
copier, space heater, vacuum, paper shredder or other large electrical device into the battery power supplied
outlets. The power demands of these devices will overload and possibly damage the unit.
3. Plug the UPS into a 2 pole, 3 wire grounded receptacle (wall outlet). Make sure the wall branch outlet is
protected by a fuse or circuit breaker and does not service equipment with large electrical demands (e.g. air
conditioner, refrigerator, copier, etc. Avoid using extension cords.
4. Press the power switch to turn the unit on. The power on indicator light will illuminate and the unit will "beep".
5. If an overload is detected, an audible alarm will sound and the unit will emit one long beep. To correct this, turn the
UPS off and unplug at least one piece of equipment from the battery power supplied outlets. Wait 10 seconds.
Make sure the circuit breaker / fuse is normal and then turns the UPS on.
6. To maintain optimal battery charge, leave the UPS plugged into an AC outlet at all times.
7. To store your UPS for an extended period, cover it and store with the battery fully charged. Recharge the
battery every three months to ensure battery life.
