Battery Mode

When the UPS is operating during a power outage, the alarm beeps
several times initially, and then once every 10 seconds while in Battery
mode. The

indicator illuminates. The front panel displays the

approximate percentage of battery capacity remaining (see Figure 10).
When the utility power returns, the UPS switches to Normal mode
operation while the battery recharges.
