Overview
Turn on the Back-UPS
Press the ON/OFF switch to turn 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 UPS will automatically perform a self-test when power is
applied to the unit, the green LED will flash during the self-test.
Note:
Prior to first use, charge the Back-UPS for at least 16 hours to ensure sufficient runtime. The unit is charging
whenever it is connected to utility power, whether the unit is turned ON or OFF.

Master Outlet—Connect a master device, such as a computer. See
“Using the power-saving outlets” on page 2.

Battery Backup and Surge Protection—These outlets receive
power whenever the unit is ON. During a power outage or other
utility problems (brownouts, over-voltages), these outlets will
receive power from the unit for a limited time. Connect a computer,
monitor, and two other data-sensitive devices into these outlets.
Note that one of these outlets is the Master outlet. See “Using the
power-saving outlets” on page 2.

peripherals that do not need battery power during power outages.
Note that if the power-saving feature is enabled, three of these
outlets are controlled by the Master outlet.
