Use of an uninterrupted power supply is recommended to protect your data from accidental

power failures. An uninterrupted power supply that supports Windows

will give you sufficient

time to shut down your system safely by changing into the power supply for the backup in case

of a power failure, and can even be set up to automatically shut down your Windows

OS.

The PS-A unit, however, cannot be used with a 2-Step Inverter Output type uninterrupted power

supply. Be sure the unit is a sine-output type power supply. For details, consult your local UPS

system dealer.
