   providing battery backup power

and surge protection (see figure B),
taking care not to exceed the rated
current indicated in amperes.

◗

 Other devices (printer, scanner, fax,

outlets   

8

   that provide surge

protection (see figure B). The filtered
outlets are not backed up by battery
power in the event of a power outage.

Optional Internet modem /

Network connection:

A modem or Ethernet data line can be
protected against surges by
connecting it via the 

UPS

. Connect

the existing device cable between the
wall outlet and the 

UPS

, and use a

similar cable between the 

UPS

 and

the device, as indicated in figure C
(cable

   not supplied).

◗

Optional COM connection:

The 

UPS

 devices with communication

(COM) sockets can be connected to
the computer using the special USB

◗

 At the same time, register for the

warranty on the www.mgeups.com
site (see figure G).

◗

Battery charge:

 The 

UPS

 charges

the battery as soon as it is connected
to the AC outlet, whether button  

13

is pressed or not. When used for the
first time, the battery will only provide
its maximum autonomy after it has
been charged for 8 hours. It is
recommended that the 

UPS

 be

permanently connected to the AC
power supply to ensure the best
possible autonomy.

◗

Switching-on the UPS

: press

button  

13

  for about 1 second.

◗

Filtered outlets   8   without

battery backup:

 Equipment

connected to these outlets is supplied
as soon as the AC cord   

2

   is

plugged in. They are not affected by
button  

13

 .

◗

Battery backup outlets   9  :

Equipment connected to these outlets
is supplied as soon as button  

13

turns green (see figure E). These
outlets can be turned on even if the

UPS

 is not connected to AC power

(button  

13

  flashes).

◗

AC-power disturbance:

 If AC

power is disturbed or fails, the 

UPS

continues to operate on battery
power. Button  

13

  flashes green. In

normal mode, the audio alarm beeps
every ten seconds, then every three
seconds when the end of battery
backup time is near. In silent mode
(see the section on settings), the
audio alarm simply beeps once when
the 

UPS

 transfers to battery power.

◗

 If the power outage lasts longer than

the battery backup time, the 

UPS

shuts down and automatically restarts
when power is restored. Following a
complete discharge, a few hours are
required to recharge the battery back
to full backup time.

◗

 To save battery power, it is possible

to press button  

13

  to cut the supply

of power to the devices connected to
the battery backup outlets.

 ◗

 All outlets,

whether backed up or simply filtered,
include surge protection, whatever
the position of button  

13

 .

◗

Shutdown of the battery backup

outlets   9 :

 Press button  

13

  for

more than two seconds.
