3. 

CAUTION : 

*

  The UPS is designed to power computer loads and the associated 

peripheral devices, such as monitors, modems, external H-Disk 
drivers, etc.  To ensure the performance of the UPS, Do Not load the 
UPS with laser printer, motor, or any type of inductive load. 

*

  Connecting the UPS to a two-pole, three-wire grounding mains 

receptacle.  Connection with any other type of receptacle may result 
in a shock hazard and may violate local electrical codes. 

*

  Do not allow water or any foreign object to get inside the UPS.  And 

do not put objects containing liquid on or near the unit. 

*

  Keep UPS away from fire or heating sources. 

*

  The UPS is shipped from the factory with fully charged internal 

batteries; however, the batteries may lose some energy during 
delivery and storage.  To ensure that the UPS will provide the 
expected run-time during a blackout, the UPS must be left in 
charging for at least 5 hours before your first use.  The batteries 
would be recharged automatically by the UPS when the UPS is 
connected with city power. 

 

 

 

4. 

INSTALLATION, OPERAT ION & AUDIBLE ALARM : 

4.1  Installation 

*

  Inspecting the packing carton for damage that may have occurred while 

in transit.  Immediately notify the carrier and place of purchase if any 
damage is found.  Retain the package for future use. 

*

  Plugging the power cord to a 3-wire grounding receptacle.  If an 

extension cord must be used between the UPS and the nearest wall 
outlet, use a 3-wire grounding type rated for at least 20 Amps. 

*

  Connecting your equipment to the UPS.  To ensure that your 

computer equipment will be protected during a utility failure, it is 
important to make sure that the maximum power need of the 
equipment is not over the rated capacity of the UPS.  When 
blackout happens, LED of operation status will become red and 
alarm will beep if the load is over the rated value.  Meantime, if the 
overload is severe, the UPS will shut down immediately for 
protecting UPS itself.
