Surge-Protected-Only Outlets (See #1 on Fig. 1) These outlets do not provide battery power during an outage. Do not plug surge protectors or power strips into the battery-backup outlets (i.e., daisy-chaining). Equipment such as computer peripherals, printers, fax machines, or desk lamps may be plugged into these outlets. The On/Off button does not control these outlets. 2. Battery-Backup Outlets (See #2 on Fig. 1) Only data-sensitive equipment such as a computer, monitor, and external drive should be plugged into these outlets. Battery power is automatically provided in case of a power outage. Power (AC or battery) is not supplied to these outlets when the Unit is switched off. (Do not plug surge protectors or power strips into the battery-backup outlets.) Caution: Never connect a laser printer or scanner to the backup outlets along with other computer equipment. To do so might overload the Unit. 3. The "On/Off" button has four functions: (See #3 on Fig. 1) 1. Turns on the Unit. Depress button at least two seconds. The green light illuminates. 2. Cold start function. If the battery is charged, the Unit will work without being plugged into an outlet. Depress and hold the key for at least two seconds to turn on the Unit. 3. Silence function. During "On Battery Mode", the audible sound can be turned "ON" or "OFF" by depressing the switch for less than 1.5 seconds. 4. Battery test function.

To replace the battery: 1. Push the connector in the arrowhead direction.(Fig.1) 2. Remove the battery cover plate and the battery from the Unit(Fig.2) 3. Disconnect the insulated connectors from the battery terminals, and replace the new battery pack. (Fig. 3) 4. Close the battery cover plate, then lock the connector. (Fig.4). Installation Note: Before installation, please inspect the Unit. Make sure that nothing inside the package is damaged. A. Connect to AC Utility Power Plug in the AC cord to a wall outlet. Please make sure there are no devices plugged into the Unit. Check to see whether the "SITE WIRING FAULT" indicator is lit. If it is lit, please have the utility wiring inspected by an electrician. B. Charge the Battery For best results, charge the battery for eight hours prior to initial use. The Unit charges its battery whenever it is connected to the utility power. C. Turn on the Unit Turn on your Unit by depressing the "On/Off" button for approximately two seconds. You will see the green indicator light come on. D. Plug in Power Devices Plug your devices into the AC outlets on the Unit. To use the Unit as a master on/off switch, make sure all of the loads are switched on. Caution: Never connect a laser printer or scanner to the backup outlets along with other computer equipment. A laser printer or scanner draws significantly more power when in use than when idle. This may overload the Battery Backup. E. Connect the Phone/Fax/Modem Lines 1. Connect a single phone/fax/modem line into the surge-protected outlets on the side of the Unit. The RJ11 modular outlets accept standard single-line telephone connections. 2. Plug one end of the phone cable into your telephone wall jack and plug the other end into the jack marked "IN". You may now plug a phone, fax, or modem into either of the two jacks marked "OUT". (See Fig. 3) Fig. 3 Overview | Alarms Backup (Slow Alarm) When the Unit is in "backup" mode (running on battery), the YELLOW LED illuminates and the Unit emits an audible alarm. The alarm stops when the Unit returns to normal online operation. Low Battery (Rapid Alarm) In "backup" mode, when the battery energy runs low, the Unit beeps rapidly until it either shuts down from a depleted battery or returns to normal online operation. Fault (10 Seconds Continuously) When the Unit fails, it emits an audible alarm continuously for 10 seconds to warn of a fault condition. Disconnect the equipment prior to checking it. Overview | Storage Storage Conditions Store the Unit covered and upright in a cool, dry location with its battery fully charged. Before storing, charge the Unit for at least six (6) hours. Extended Storage During extended storage in environments where the ambient temperature is +5° F to +86° F, charge the Unit's battery every six (6) months. During extended storage in environments where the ambient temperature is +86° F to +113° F, charge the Unit's battery every three (3) months. Note: Note: This connection is optional but highly recommended as phone/fax/ modem lines often carry dangerous surges and spikes. The Unit works properly without a phone/fax/modem connection. Caution: The phone/fax/modem protection feature could be rendered inoperable if improperly installed. Make sure that the telephone line from the wall is plugged into the connector marked "IN", and the devices to be protected (phone/fax/ modem) are plugged into the connector marked "OUT".
