Turn On the Back-UPS
Press the POWER button. It will illuminate green and a single short beep indicating that the
Back-UPS is on and providing protection for connected equipment. The Back-UPS battery
will charge regardless of whether the Back-UPS is switched on or off as long as it is
connected to AC power. The UPS will have full runtime capability after the initial 24-hour
charging period, connected to AC power.
If the red Building Wiring Fault indicator (located on the end near the power cord) is lit, your
building wiring may present a shock hazard that should be corrected by a qualified
electrician.

Quick Mute
The Back-UPS is able to temporarily mute user correctable alarms such as On Battery.
During such alarms, a short press (less than 2 seconds) of the POWER button will
temporarily mute the alarm until the condition has been reset. A short double beep will
confirm that Quick Mute has been activated. Pressing the POWER button for more than 2
seconds will turn off the UPS.
Other critical events such as Battery replacement and Charger notification can not be
temporarily muted. The unit in these cases must be turned off.

On Battery Indicator Modes

With the UPS turned on, configuring the On Battery Indicator modes below is done by
holding down the POWER button and waiting for the third beep. At the third beep, the
POWER button will cycle red / green. Release the POWER button and its color will
indicate the mode the UPS is in. Press the POWER button to cycle through each mode.
See the following table for the 3 mode selection colors. Once the mode has been selected,
wait 5 seconds and the setting will be committed to the UPS.

Voltage Sensitivity Adjustment
The Back-UPS detects and reacts to line voltage distortions by transferring to battery
backup power to protect connected equipment. In situations where either the Back-
UPS or the connected equipment is too sensitive for the input voltage level it is
necessary to adjust the transfer voltage.
1. Turn off the UPS while connected to a wall outlet.
2. Press and hold the ON/OFF button for 10 seconds. The POWER button will alternate
green- red to indicate that the Back-UPS is in Program mode.
3. The POWER button will flash either green, amber, or red to indicate the current
sensitivity level. Refer to the table for an explanation of the transfer voltage sensitivity
levels.
4. To exit Program mode wait five seconds and all LED indicators will extinguish.
Program mode is no longer active.

LED Sensitivity Input Voltage Recommended Use

Flashes Setting Range
(AC Operation)
Green LOW 88 Vac to 142 Vac Use this setting with equipment that is
less sensitive to fluctuations in voltage

Red MEDIUM 92 Vac to 139 Vac Factory default setting. Use this setting
under normal conditions.
Amber HIGH 96 Vac to 136 Vac Use this setting when connected
equipment is sensitive to voltage and
waveform fluctuations.

Battery Replacement
CAUTION
RISK OF HYDROGEN SULPHIDE GAS OR EXCESSIVE SMOKE
• Replace the battery at least every 5 years.
• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates battery replacement
is necessary.
• Replace the battery at the end of its service life.
• Replace batteries with the same number and type of batteries as originally
installed in the equipment.
• Replace the battery immediately when the UPS indicates a battery over-
temperature condition, or when there is evidence of electrolyte leakage. Power
off the UPS, unplug it from the AC input, and disconnect the batteries. Do not
operate the UPS until the batteries have been replaced.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury.

CAUTION
HAZARD OF EXPLOSION
• Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
• Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Release electrolyte maybe toxic and it is
harmful to the skin and eyes.
• Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel
knowledgeable about batteries and the required precautions. In this case
battery is not user replaceable.
• A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short-circuit current.
Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electrical shock. The
following precautions should be observed when working on batteries:
a) Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
b) Use tools with insulated handles.
c) Wear rubber gloves and boots.
d) Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of batteries.
e) Disconnect charging source and load prior to installing or maintaining the
battery.
f) Remove battery grounds during installation and maintenance to reduce
likelihood of shock.
g) Remove the connection from ground if any part of the battery is
determined to be grounded.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in injury.

circuit current.
• Failed batteries can reach temperatures that exceed the burn thresholds
for touchable surfaces.
• Before installing or replacing the batteries, disconnect the charging
source prior to connecting or disconnecting battery terminals. Do not
wear any metal objects including watches and rings. Do not lay tools or
metal parts on top of batteries. Remove conductive jewelry such as
chains, wrist watches, and rings. High energy through conductive
materials could cause severe burns.
