until you hear a short chirp and then release the button. The system
is now muted.
To Run a Self-Test: Press and hold the “ON/OFF/MUTE/TEST” button

Plug your equipment into the UPS: Select outlets (see diagram)
will provide battery backup and surge protection; plug in your
computer, monitor and other critical devices here.* Select outlets
(see diagram) will provide surge protection only; plug in your printer
and other non-essential devices here.
Note: UPS system will function properly upon initial startup; however,
maximum runtime for the unit’s battery will only be accessible after it has been
charged for 24 hours.
* Your UPS is designed to support electronic equipment only. You will overload the UPS
if the total VA ratings for all the equipment you connect to the Battery Backup Protected/
Surge Protected outlets exceeds the UPS’s Output Capacity. To find your equipment’s VA
ratings, look on their nameplates. If the equipment is listed in amps, multiply the number of
amps by 120 to determine VA.
(Example: 1 amp × 120 = 120 VA). If you are unsure if you have overloaded the Battery
Backup Protected/Surge Protected outlets, run a self-test.
