POWERPANEL PLUS™ SOFTWARE USER MANUAL

PowerPanel Plus™ version 1.13 or greater is designed for use with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT

and Windows 2000. The latest version can be downloaded from www.cyberpowersystems.com/downloads.htm.

It works

in conjunction with the UPS to provide full protection of valuable computer systems, applications and data. In the event of a

power failure, PowerPanel Plus™ automatically saves and closes open files under auto-assigned file names or existing files

names after a software controlled delay. The computer and UPS are automatically shutdown to conserve battery power.

Files with auto-assigned names will be saved under C:\PCTemp, where C is the name of your main hard drive. Files that

have previously been saved will be saved in their original location.

PowerPanel Plus™ is equipped with a Schedule feature that can automatically save and close open files and then shutdown

the computer and UPS at a user specified date and time as well as start the computer at a user specified date and time.

Use of this feature is optional and is not required for the power failure shutdown to occur.

The use of the PowerPanel Plus™ software is optional. The UPS unit will provide full surge suppression and battery

backup without the software. You must use the software if

you wish to have the automatic shutdown feature.
