Safety and General Information
Inspect the package contents upon receipt. Notify the carrier and dealer if there is any
damage.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - This section contains important instructions that should
be followed during installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries. Failure to follow
these instructions can result in equipment damage.
Getting Started
Connect the Battery
Remove all plastic films. With the USB
ports positioned at the bottom, insert the
mobile battery pack into the UPS.
When the battery is inserted one LED
will illuminate moving from the bottom
to the top to confirm that the battery has
been inserted properly.
Using the UPS
Press the POWER button located in front of the UPS. The POWER button LED will illuminate
and a single short beep will be audible to indicate that the UPS is turning on.
The UPS provides surge protection and battery backup to low power equipment like modems,
gateways, routers, cordless phone base units and VoIP base units.
Note that high power devices like PCs or monitors may overload the UPS during a blackout. It is
recommended that only low power devices be connected.
Rotating Outlets
Both outlets can be rotated 90° and
45° to minimize adapter plug
interference.
USB charging ports
The three USB ports provide a total of
4.4A of DC power, and will provide
power even when the UPS is on
battery.
Fast charging is available at the 2.4A
USB port. This port integrates Smart Charging technology to maximize output according to the
smartphone or tablet detected.
Surge Only Mode
The battery can be removed and the UPS will continue to provide surge protection for the
connected AC devices. When the battery is removed the POWER button LED will illuminate
amber. In this mode the USB port will continue to provide charging power for smartphones and
other USB devices.
Mobile Power Pack
When removed from the UPS the battery can be used as a mobile power pack to charge devices
in a mobile environment.
To turn on the battery press the POWER button on the battery. The LEDs will illuminate to show
battery capacity. After 20 seconds the battery will enter a power saving mode if it is not charging
a device or being charged. If the battery is charging a device or being charged, after 20 seconds
the LEDs will dim down to 10% brightness. Pressing the POWER button at any time will cause
the LEDs to illuminate at 100% brightness for 20 seconds.
Battery Charge and Capacity Information
• Charge battery in the UPS for 2.5 hours prior to initial use. The battery will charge whether
the UPS is on or off as long as there is AC power to the UPS.
• Do not expect full battery runtime capability during the initial charge period.
• To charge the battery using the micro-USB input, connect the battery to any USB charging
port. When separate from the UPS, battery charging is slower. When charging the battery
using the USB port on a PC, the LEDs will flash more slowly to indicate slower rate of
charge.
• UPS runtime information is available on the APC Web site, www.apc.com.

Wall Mount
Installation
• Vertical installation, use 4
screws with 9/64” (3.5
mm) in thread diameter
and not larger than 9/32”
(7mm) in head diameter.
(Screws are not provided.)
• Install the stabilizer feet
using the 4 slots at the
ends of each row of venti-
lation holes as seen in the
figure below.
• Orient the UPS to the
desired location. Mount
screws directly into stabi-
lizer feet starting with the
bottom pair.
DANGER
HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH
UPS
• This UPS is intended for indoor use only.
• Do not operate this UPS in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, or where there is excessive
dust or humidity.
• Connect the UPS power cable directly to a wall outlet.
Mobile Power Pack (battery)
• Do not short circuit this battery. To avoid short circuit, keep the battery away from any metal
objects (e.g., hair clips and keys).
• Use this battery as instructed to avoid electric shock; do not disassemble.
• This battery is not user repairable; contact APC for tech support related issues.
• Do not heat this battery or throw it into a fire.
• Keep this battery away from high temperature, wet, or dusty environments.
• During normal usage keep the battery out in the open to allow excess heat to dissipate.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
RISK OF EQUIPMENT DAMAGE
UPS
• This UPS is designed for low power devices less than 50 Watts. When the UPS is on battery,
the BGE50ML / BGE50ML−CA will shut down automatically to protect itself once the load on
the UPS is greater than 50Watts.
• Be sure the air vents on the UPS are not blocked. Allow adequate space for proper ventilation.
• The battery typically lasts for three to five years. Environmental factors impact battery life.
Elevated ambient temperatures, poor quality AC power, and frequent short duration discharges
will shorten battery life.
Mobile Power Pack (battery)
• It is normal that the battery will feel warm during heavy use.
• Do not drop or place the battery under a heavy object.
• Charge M12USWH / M12USWH−CA for 2.5 hours before initial use.
• Keep the USB output port and micro−USB input port clean and free of obstruction.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in equipment damage.
