1. Connect equipment to the UPS. Note: Do not connect a laser printer to the UPS. A laser
printer draws significantly more power than other types of equipment and may overload
the UPS.

3. Using a power cord, plug the UPS into a two-pole, three-wire, grounded receptacle only.
Avoid using extension cords.
100V/120V models: The power cord is permanently attached to the rear panel of the UPS. The
INPUT plug is a NEMA 5-15P.

screw (optional). To make the connection, loosen the screw and connect the surge suppression
device’s ground lead. Tighten the screw to secure the lead.

nected equipment is switched ON. The equipment will not be powered until the UPS is turned
on.

button on the front panel.
The UPS charges its battery when it is connected to utility power. The battery charges to
90% capacity during the first four hours of normal operation. Do not expect full battery run
capability during this initial charge period.

UPS is plugged into an improperly wired utility power outlet. Refer to Troubleshooting in
