tion properly without these connections.

Phone Line/Network Line Surge
Suppression

Your UPS can protect your equipment against
surges over a phone line. Select models have RJ45
jacks that can also be used to protect against surges
over a network data line (see Specifications).

Using telephone cords or network data cables as
appropriate, connect your wall jack to the UPS
jack marked “IN”. Connect your equipment to the
UPS jack marked “OUT”. Make sure the equip-
ment you connect to the UPS’s jacks is also pro-
tected against surges on the AC line.

Your UPS can protect up to 2 telephone lines trav-
elling over the same telephone cord.

your computer to the USB port of your UPS.
