There are four status indicators (lights) on the front
panel of the Back-UPS (On Line, On Battery, Overload,
and Replace Battery).
On Line (green)
- is lit whenever utility power is
powering the Battery Backup outlets.
On Battery (yellow)
- is lit whenever the battery of
the Back-UPS is powering equipment connected to the
Battery Backup Outlets.
Four Beeps Every 30 Seconds - this alarm is
sounded whenever the Back-UPS is running On
Battery. Consider saving work in progress.
Overload (red)
- is lit whenever power demand has
exceeded the capacity of the Back-UPS.
Continuous Tone - this alarm is sounded
whenever the Battery Backup outlets are
overloaded.
Circuit Breaker - the circuit breaker button
located on the rear panel of the Back-UPS will
stick out if an overload condition forces the Back-
UPS to disconnect itself from utility power. If the
button sticks out, disconnect non-essential
equipment. Reset the circuit breaker by pushing
the button inward.
Replace Battery (red)
- is lit whenever the battery is
near the end of its useful life, or if the battery is not con-
nected (see above). A battery that is near the end of its use-
ful life has insufficient run-time and should be replaced.
Chirps for 1 Minute Every 5 Hours - this
alarm is sounded whenever the battery has failed
the automatic diagnostic test.
Note: Allow the Back-UPS to charge for a full eight (8)
hours prior to use.

only the green On Line indicator will be lit.
• If the internal battery cartridge is not
connected (see Step 1 above), the green On
Line indicator and red Replace Battery
indicators will light. The Back-UPS will also
emit a chirping sound.
Continuous Beeping - this alarm is sounded
whenever a low battery condition is reached.
Battery run-time is very low. Promptly save any
work in progress and exit all open applications.
