2  Your UPS

Congratulations on your purchase and 

welcome to Philips ! 

To fully benefit from the support that 

Philips offers, register your UPS at 

www.philips.com/welcome.

This UPS (Uninterrupted Power System) 

has been designed to supply power to 

connected equipment in the event of an 

electrical blackout. It is also equipped with 

built-in surge protection to guard connect-

ed equipment against electrical damage. 

When your wall outlet is supplying normal 

AC power flow, the UPS provides surge 

protection and draws energy to charge its 

internal battery. When the AC power flow 

becomes abnormal, as in the instance of a 

blackout, the UPS will supply power to the 

connected equipment immediately, via its 

internal battery. Philips offers an entire line 

of UPS products to safeguard your home
