RJ-45
In situations where the Back-UPS or connected equipment appears too sensitive to input voltage, it may be
necessary to adjust the transfer voltage. This is a simple task requiring use of the front panel pushbutton. To
adjust the transfer voltage, proceed as follows:
1. Plug the Back-UPS into the utility power source. The Back-UPS will be in a Standby Mode (no indicators lit).
2. Press the front panel pushbutton fully inward for 10 seconds. All indicators on the Back-UPS will flash to
acknowledge going into Programming Mode.
3. The Back-UPS will then indicate its current Sensitivity Setting, as shown in the following table.
4. To select the Low Sensitivity setting, press the pushbutton until the yellow indicator is flashing.
5. To select the Medium Sensitivity setting, press the pushbutton until the yellow and red indicators (second and
third from the top) are flashing.
6. To select the High Sensitivity setting, press the pushbutton until yellow and both red indicators (bottom three)
are flashing.
7. To exit without changing the Sensitivity Setting, press the pushbutton until the green indicator is flashing.
8. Once in Programming Mode, if the pushbutton is not pressed within 5 seconds, the Back-UPS will exit
Programming Mode; all indicators will extinguish.

Connect Equipment
The rear panel of the Back-UPS consists of the
following elements:
Battery Back Up Outlets (qty. of 3). These
outlets provide battery back-up, surge protection,
and Electro-magnetic Interference (EMI) filtering.
In case of power outage, battery power is
automatically provided to these outlets. Power
(utility or battery) is not supplied to these outlets
when the Back-UPS is switched Off. Connect a
computer, monitor, and external disk or CD-ROM
drive to these outlets.
Surge Only Outlet. This outlet is always On
(when utility power is available) and is not
controlled by the On/Off switch. This outlet does
not provide power during a power outage. Connect
a printer, fax machine or scanner to this outlet.
Note: Allow the Back-UPS to charge for a full eight
hours prior to use.
Press the push-button on the front panel of the Back-
UPS.
Observe that the following events occur after
pressing and releasing the push-button:
• The green On-Line indicator flashes.
• The yellow On Battery indicator lights while
the Self-Test is being performed.
• When Self-Test has successfully completed,
only the green On Line indicator will be lit.
• If the internal battery is not connected, (see Step
1 above) the green On Line indicator and red
Replace Battery indicator will light. The Back-
UPS will also emit a chirping sound.

Backup Outlets.
Four Beeps Every 30 Seconds - this
alarm is sounded whenever the Back-
UPS is running On Battery. Consider
saving work in progress.
Continuous Beeping - this alarm is
sounded whenever a low battery
condition is reached. Battery run-time
is very low. Promptly save any work
in progress and exit all open
applications. Shutdown the operating
system, computer and the Back-UPS.
Overload (red) - is lit whenever
power demand has exceeded the capac-
ity of the Back-UPS.
Continuous Tone - this alarm is
sounded whenever the Battery Backup
outlets are overloaded.
Circuit Breaker - the circuit
breaker button located on the rear
panel of the Back-UPS will stick
out if an overload condition forces
the Back-UPS to disconnect itself
from utility power. If the button
sticks out, disconnect non-
essential equipment. Reset the
circuit breaker by pushing the
button inward.
