Surge Protection
These outlets provide full-time protection from surges even if the
Back-UPS NS is switched OFF. Plug your printer, fax machine,
scanner, or other peripherals that do not need battery power into
these outlets.
Battery Back-up plus Surge Protection
These outlets are powered whenever the Back-UPS NS is
switched ON. During a power outage or other utility problems
(brownouts, over-voltages), these outlets will be powered for a
limited time by the Back-UPS NS. Plug your computer,
monitor, CD-ROM drive and one other data-sensitive device
such as an external disk or tape drive, or Home Phoneline
Networking Association (HPNA) device into these outlets.
Press the ON/OFF switch to power the unit
ON.
A single short beep and the green “Power”
indicator confirms the Back-UPS NS is on and
ready to provide protection.
The Back-UPS NS should charge for at least 16
hours to ensure sufficient runtime. The unit is
being charged whenever it is connected to utility
power, whether the unit is turned ON or OFF.
If the red Building Wiring Fault indicator (located
on the end near the power cord) is lit, your
building wiring presents a shock hazard that
should be corrected by a qualified electrician.

two release tabs. Slide the plastic battery
cover off the unit. Insert the battery back into the compartment.
