Turn On the Back-UPS
Press the POWER ON/OFF button located on the top of the Back-UPS. The
Power on/off LED will illuminate green and a single short beep will indicate
that the Back-UPS is on and providing protection to the connected equipment.
The Back-UPS battery charges to capacity during the first 24 hours while
connected to the utility power. The Back-UPS battery will charge while the
Back-UPS is turned on or off and as long as it is connected to utility power.
Do not expect the battery to run for its expected capacity during the initial
charge period. The UPS will have full runtime capability after the initial
24 hour charging period.
Turn Off the Back-UPS
Press the POWER ON/OFF button for at least 2 seconds to turn off the
Back-UPS. At the first beep, release the button and the UPS will turn off.
A 2 second delay has been added to mitigate unintentional contact with the
POWER ON/OFF button.
