Quick Startup
1
If your Patriot UPS has a removable power cord, install the ferrite noise suppressor on the
line cord (see page 81) and connect the power cord to the back of the unit.
2
Plug the UPS into a wall outlet. Let the unit charge the battery for at least 3 hours. You may
use the unit while the battery charges, but the battery backup runtime will be reduced until
the battery is fully charged. This will take up to 8 hours after a full discharge while the
Patriot is fully loaded.
3
To start the unit, press the On/Standby rocker switch (located left of center on the back
panel). When the unit starts, it will beep, and light both of the front panel LEDs several
times. The green light should remain on. This indicates normal operation. See Symbols,
LEDs and Audible Beeps Section for more information.
If the unit continues to beep, or if the green light does not remain on even though input
power is available from the wall outlet, go to the Troubleshooting section.
4
Switch off the equipment you want to protect, and plug it into the outlets labeled on the top
of the Patriot.
5
Switch on the protected equipment, one piece at a time. If the UPS beeps an alarm when you
start your equipment, the UPS may be overloaded. See the Troubleshooting section.
6
The RJ-11 or RJ-45 Surge Protection jacks will protect
equipment that uses an RJ-11 or RJ-45 connection. Plug the
phone or fax/modem connection (or the 10BASE-T network
connection for U models) into the surge protection jack labeled
“IN” on the back of the Patriot. Plug the protected equipment
into the surge protection jack labeled “OUT.” Network cabling
is not provided. Telephone only on European model; do not
connect any network equipment to the circuitry. This product
may only be used for phone or fax/modem protection purposes
on E models. This connection is optional. It is not needed to use the Patriot.
7
You may access instructions for using optional Patriot connectivity features on the Best
Power Web site. Interface software is available there as a free download. The interface cable
is Part Number INT-0051. The connectivity option provides for auto shutdown of the
connected computer, but is not required to use the Patriot.

Please fill out the warranty registration card and return it to your local Best Power office. If
you are in the U.S.A. or Canada and you would like to activate the Warranty for Transient
Voltage Surge Suppression, please return the registration card within 10 days of installation.
