Overview
Turn on the Back-UPS
Press the ON/OFF switch to turn the unit ON. A single short beep and the green “Power On” indicator confirms that
Back-UPS ES is on and ready to provide protection. The UPS will automatically perform a self-test when power is
applied to the unit, the green LED will flash during the self-test.
Note: Prior to first use, charge the Back-UPS for at least 16 hours to ensure sufficient runtime. The unit is charging
whenever it is connected to utility power, whether the unit is turned ON or OFF.
