POWERPANEL™ SOFTWARE USER MANUAL
OVERVIEW
PowerPanel™ version 2.03 or greater is designed for use with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT and Windows 2000.

. It works in conjunction with the UPS to provide
full protection of valuable computer systems, applications and data. In the event of a power failure, PowerPanel™ automatically saves and
closes open files under auto-assigned file names or existing files names after a software controlled delay. The computer and UPS are
automatically shutdown to conserve battery power. Files with auto-assigned names will be saved under C:\PCTemp, where C is the name
of your main hard drive. Files that have previously been saved will be saved in their original location.
PowerPanel™ is equipped with a Scheduled Shutdown feature which can automatically save and close open files and then shutdown the
computer and UPS at a user specified date and time. Use of this feature is optional and is not required for the power failure shutdown to
occur.
The use of the PowerPanel™ software is optional. The UPS unit will provide full surge suppression and battery backup without the
software. You must use the software if you wish to have the automatic shutdown feature.
