Surge Protection
These outlets provide full-time protection from surges even if
the Back-UPS ES is switched OFF. Plug your printer, fax
machine, scanner, or other peripherals that do not need
battery power into these outlets.
Battery Back-up plus Surge Protection
These outlets are powered whenever the Back-UPS ES is
switched ON. During a power outage or other utility problems
(brownouts, over-voltages), these outlets will be powered for a
limited time by the Back-UPS ES. Plug your computer, monitor,
and one other data-sensitive device (external disk or tape
drive) into these outlets.
Connect FAX/Modem/Phone
Back-UPS ES protects a single
line (2-wire) fax, modem or
phone from surges when it is
connected through the Back-
UPS ES as shown.
Place the Back-UPS ES to avoid:
- Direct sunlight
- Excessive heat
- Excessive humidity or contact with fluids
Plug the Back-UPS ES power cord directly
into a wall outlet; not a surge protector or
power strip.
Connect Computer Cable
The supplied cable and software provide
automatic file saving and shutdown of the
operating system in the case of a sustained
power outage.
Connect the cable to the Data Port of the Back-
UPS ES. Connect the other end of the cable to
the USB port on your computer. The software will
automatically find the USB Port of your
computer.
Press the ON/OFF switch to power the unit
ON.
A single short beep and the green “Power On”
indicator confirms that Back-UPS ES is on and
ready to provide protection.
The Back-UPS ES should charge for at least
16 hours to ensure sufficient runtime. The unit
is being charged whenever it is connected to
utility power, whether the unit is turned ON or
OFF.
If the red Building Wiring Fault indicator
(located on the end near the power cord) is lit,
your building wiring presents a shock hazard
that should be corrected by a qualified
electrician.
