and dealer of visible damage. some charge may be lost during shipping and the battery
should be recharged prior to use.
 Plug in the AC input cord to the wall outlet. For the best
results, suggest to charge the battery at least 6 hours
before initial use. The unit charges its battery while

5BStep 2 Decide Where to Place the UPS

The UPS must be placed indoors, protected from water, direct
sunlight and excessive heat.
Provide at least 7.8” (20 cm) of clearance on all sides of the unit
for proper ventilation.

After the battery is fully charged:

 Turn on the UPS by pressing the On/Off button. Normal

mode LED should be illuminated, indicating the UPS is
operating in Normal mode.

 Connect a single phone cable into the RJ-45 network

power when the UPS operates on battery. (see Figure 2, 4 or 6
on next two pages for different power rated UPS)
Step 7 Set Up Shutdown Software
To start using shutdown software:
 Connect one end of USB cable (supplied) to the USB
port on the rear panel of the UPS. Connect the other
end of USB cable on the computer

 Plug the loads into the battery backup outlets on the rear of
the UPS.

CAUTION: NEVER connect a laser printer or scanner to the

UPS unit. This may cause the damage of the unit.
