2) Suggest charging the batteries for 10 hours before use. Otherwise

the backup time may be less than the standard value.

3.6 Discharge the batteries

1) When the UPS is in battery mode, the buzzer will beep according to

different battery level. If the battery voltage drops to the alarming

level, the buzzer will beep hurry (once every sec) to remind the user

that the battery is low level and the UPS will be shutdown

automatically soon. The user could switch off some non-critical loads

to avoid the shutdown alarming and prolong the backup time. If have

no more load to be switched off at that time, you have to shutdown

all loads as soon as possible to protect the loads or save data.

Otherwise there is the risk of data loss or load failure.

2) In battery mode if the user don’t like the buzzer noise, the beep

could be muted by short-press the button.

3) The backup time of the long backup time model is dependent on the

external battery capacity except the load capacity mainly.

4)

The backup time may vary from different environment temperature

and load type.

is running on normal mode (line mode), you could short-press the

button to let the UPS transfer to battery test mode.

2)

To make the system more reliable, the UPS will perform the battery

test automatically periodically. The default period is once per week.

If the UPS enter the battery test mode, the display and buzzer

indication will be same as the battery mode except that the

Bypass/Battery LED is flashing. So you can check the battery level

at this mode.
