Your UPS is equipped with an LED
indicator display to keep you alert to its
effectiveness. This surge protection indica-
tor light is illuminated when the surge
protection components are functioning
properly. If this light is off, it indicates that
the surge protection components have
reached capacity and are no longer able to
protect your connected equipment against
surges.
Your UPS also offers a “ground” indica-
tor light to confirm that the wall outlet is
wired properly.

Auto restart
Your UPS is equipped with an auto shut
down feature which activates when the
battery level becomes too low to sustain
power to your connected equipment and
electricity is not present.
For example, if you are away from home
during a power outage, your UPS will im-
mediately provide power to your connect-
ed equipment through its internal battery.
If the power outage exceeds the runtime
of the UPS, the UPS will automatically
switch into Suspend Mode, ceasing power
to your connected equipment. It will retain
the little power it has remaining to ensure
that, when the power does return, it is
safe to channel to your equipment. Once
the power returns, the UPS will automati-
cally reset itself to normal operation and
recharge its internal battery.
Back-up alarm
In the event of a power failure, your UPS
will sound an alarm, alerting you that it is
going into back-up mode. It will sustain
this alarm, beeping slowly every two
seconds.
To mute the alarm:
1.Press the power button for one second
and release.
Warning
Do not hold the power button down for
more than 1 second when muting the alarm.
Holding the power button down 3 seconds
or longer will turn the UPS completely off,
halting battery power to your connected
equipment.
Low battery alarm
When your UPS has been in back-up
mode for an extended time and its internal
battery has been depleted down to 20%
or 30% of its power, it will sound an alarm,
beeping rapidly every half second. This alarm
will continue until the UPS shuts down
completely from battery exhaustion or it
automatically returns to normal (LINE)
operation.
Rotating LCD display
Your UPS may be positioned either hori-
zontally or vertically. If you choose to use it
in a vertical position, you will have to adjust
the LCD panel from a horizontal to vertical
position.
