the UPS is plugged into an improperly wired utility power outlet (see Troubleshooting).

nected equipment is on.
Equipment is now powered and protected. Basic operation, user configuration, and software utiliza-

Battery Operation
The UPS switches to battery operation automatically if the utility power fails. While running on bat-
tery, an alarm beeps four times every 30 seconds. Press the
button to silence this alarm.
If the utility power does not return, the UPS continues to supply power to the connected equipment
until the battery is fully discharged.
Refer to www.apc.com
for battery runtime charts.
When the UPS reaches the low battery shutdown warning (two minute default), the alarm will beep
continuously until total shutdown. Connected equipment should be shut down during this time,
unless being controlled by network monitoring software.
