Before using the UPB10, the Mobile Power Pack should be fully charged. 

Please see the following instructions on how to use and maintain the UPB10.

You can charge the UPB10 using any of the following methods:

• Using the AC Power Adapter: Attach the appropriate outlet plug to the

adapter before connecting it to a power outlet for charging the UPB10

battery pack. Connect the USB cable provided to the AC power adapter
and plug the adapter into a wall outlet. Connect the mini-B connector to
the UPB10 battery pack.

• Using your notebook or PC: Charge the UPB10 battery pack through

your notebook or desktop PC by connecting it with the USB power cable
to a USB port and the Mobile Power Pack .

• Using the APC Universal Power Adapter: Connect the UPB10 battery

pack to an APC power adapter via the USB power port. Refer to the

documentation provided with the adapter for more information.

Checking the Charging Status
The charging status of the UPB10 battery pack is indicated by the LED status

indicators. If the indicators are flashing, this indicates that the battery pack is
being charged. The LED status indicators will light up sequentially as each
level of charge is reached (see table below). Continue charging until the four

white indicators are lit together and then turned off which indicates that the
battery pack is fully charged.

When using the battery pack for the first time, charge the UPB10 battery pack
fully before use.
When the status indicators show the UPB10 is fully charged, the battery pack
is ready to be used.

Use an appropriate USB 

charging cable to power 
devices such as iPods, 
MP3 players, mobile 
phones, PDAs and 

portable gaming systems. 
Connect the USB cable 
to the USB output port 

on the battery pack and the other end of the cable to the device that needs to be 
powered.

If the UPB10 battery pack has not been used (charging or discharging) for a
period of more than 15 minutes, it automatically enters sleep mode to
conserve charge. To turn the battery pack on, press the Status button for

1 second and release it. The status indicators light up, indicating that the
battery pack is awake.

You can check the battery charge status on the UPB10 at any time. Press the

Status button for 1 second and release it to display the charge status. The LED
status indicators will light up to display the remaining charge level. The
number of LEDs that light up indicate the level of charge as described in the

following table:

Note: USB Charging cables (sold separately) are required to charge your
device. APC recommends the use of APC USB Charging cables to ensure
compatibility. Please check mobilecomputing.apc.com for the latest list of

USB Charging Cables.

The UPB10 battery pack should be disposed of properly. Please do not

dispose in trash receptacles or incinerate. For information about APC’s battery
recycling program, visit: mobilecomputing.apc.com.
For best results, do not store the UPB10 where there is excessive heat or cold,

as such environments can damage the battery pack and reduce battery life. If
storing the UPB10 for an extended period, completely discharge and recharge
the unit before the next use. This can be done by attaching the UPB10 to a

USB-powered device and waiting until the battery is fully discharged. The
UPB10 is fully discharged when all four status indicators are off during use.
Using any of the charging techniques, continue charging the UPB10

completely until all status indicators are extinguished. For best results, the
UPB10 should be fully discharged and recharged once every 3 months. This
will condition the cells inside the battery back to ensure the UPB10 delivers

the most capacity available.
