6. Operating Instructions

Turning the UPS On/Off:

• To Turn On: Press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the indicators light up.
• To Turn Off: Press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the indicators turn off.

Understanding Status Indicators:

Refer to the specific indicator lights or display on your UPS model for detailed information. Generally, these indicate:

• AC Mode: UPS is receiving power from the wall outlet and providing power to connected devices.
• Battery Mode: UPS is providing power from its internal battery due to a power outage or low voltage. An audible alarm may sound.
• Battery Low: The battery charge is critically low. Save your work and shut down connected equipment immediately.
• Fault/Overload: Indicates an internal error or that connected equipment exceeds the UPS's capacity.

Battery Backup Function:

During a power outage, the UPS will automatically switch to battery power. An audible alarm will typically sound to alert you. The duration of battery backup depends on the load connected. When the battery is low, the alarm will become more frequent, signaling that you should save your work and shut down your equipment gracefully.

7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your UPS.

• Battery Care: To maximize battery life, keep the UPS connected to an AC outlet at all times. Avoid frequent deep discharges. If the UPS is stored for an extended period, recharge it every 3 months for at least 8 hours.
• Cleaning: Disconnect the UPS from the AC outlet and all connected equipment before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
• Ventilation: Ensure the ventilation openings on the UPS are not blocked to prevent overheating.
• Battery Replacement: The internal battery has a limited lifespan. When the battery can no longer hold a charge, it will need to be replaced by qualified service personnel.
