Protection
The rear panel of the Back-UPS consists of the
following elements:
Battery Back Up Outlets (qty. of 3)
. These outlets
provide battery back-up, surge protection, and
Electro-magnetic Interference (EMI) filtering. In
case of power outage, battery power is automatically
provided to these outlets. Power (utility or battery) is
not supplied to these outlets when the Back-UPS is
switched
Off
. Connect a computer, monitor, and
external disk or CD-ROM drive to these outlets.
Surge Only Outlet
.
This outlet is always
On
(when
utility power is available) and is not controlled by
the
On/Off
switch. This outlet does not provide
power during a power outage. Connect a printer, fax
machine or scanner to this outlet.
Inspect the package contents upon receipt. Notify the carrier and
dealer if there is any damage.
Read the following reminders before installing the UPS.
• This UPS is intended for indoor use only.
• Connect the UPS power cable directly to a wall outlet. Do not use surge protectors or extension cords.
• When grounding cannot be verified, disconnect the equipment from the AC power outlet before installing
or connecting to other equipment. Reconnect the power cord after all connections are made.
