USB cable. A PowerAlert
cable may be included with your UPS;
if so, insert the CD into the CD tray of
your computer and follow the installation
instructions. If PowerAlert Software and
a USB cable did not come with your
UPS, you can obtain the software FREE
via the Web at trip-plite.com. Any
user-supplied USB cable may then
