Initial Battery Charging
The UPS is shipped from the factory with its internal battery fully charged. However, the battery may lose some
charge during shipping and storage. The battery should be recharged before conducting the following test for
proper operation and to ensure the UPS will provide expected run time. The UPS automatically charges the
battery whenever the UPS is plugged in (the On/Off/Test switch doesn’t have to be turned on). The battery will
fully recharge when the UPS is left plugged in for at least eight hours. (Also see Battery Connection, P. 11.)
Connecting Your Equipment to the UPS
To ensure that your computer equipment will be protected during a utility failure and that you receive expected
run time, it is important that the total power needs of the equipment not exceed the capacity of the UPS. (See
the Overload Instruction chart below: Total power for Model 168205 should be no more than 1320 watts.)
Once you have determined that your equipment and the UPS are compatible, plug your equipment into the
rear panel output receptacles of the UPS.
