Quick Installation
STEP 1: Place the UPS in either a horizontal ("desktop") or vertical ("tower") position.
The LCD screen can be rotated so it's readable when the UPS is in either a vertical or horizontal
position. To rotate the screen: carefully insert a small tool in the slots on the sides of the screen
to pop it out of the UPS housing; rotate the screen, and snap it back into the UPS housing.
CAUTION: To safely balance the UPS when it is placed in a vertical ("tower") position,
make sure the LCD screen is located at the top of the front panel.
STEP 2: Plug the UPS into an outlet.
After plugging the UPS into a wall outlet, push the ON/OFF button for one second to turn the
UPS on (see Basic Operation section).
Note: The UPS will not turn on automatically in the presence of live utility power.
STEP 3: Plug your equipment into the UPS.
Select outlets (see diagram) will provide battery backup and surge protection; plug your
computer, monitor and other critical devices here.* Select outlets (see diagram) will provide
surge protection only; plug your printer and other nonessential devices here.
* Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS if the total wattage
ratings for all the equipment you connect to the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets exceeds the
UPS's Output Capacity. To find your equipment's wattage ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is
listed in amps, multiply the number of amps by 120 to determine watts. (Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120W).
If you are unsure if you have overloaded the Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets, run a self-test
(see "MUTE/TEST" Button description).
CAUTION: The UPS must be plugged into a live AC outlet and turned on for 24 hours
after initial installation to fully charge the UPS's internal battery. Your connected
equipment will receive utility-supplied AC power (if present) immediately after the UPS is
plugged in and turned on; however, your connected equipment may not receive full
battery backup in the event of a blackout or severe brownout until the UPS's internal
battery is fully charged.
