Product Handling Guidelines
Safety and General Information
Inspect the package contents upon receipt. Notify the carrier and dealer if there
is any damage.
• This UPS is for indoor use only.
• Do not operate this UPS in direct sunlight, in contact with fluids, or
where there is excessive dust or high humidity.
• Do not operate the UPS near open windows or doors.
• Be sure the air vents on the UPS are not blocked. Allow adequate space
for proper ventilation.
Note: Allow a minimum of 20 cm clearance on both front and rear sides
of the UPS.
• Environmental factors impact battery life. Elevated ambient
temperatures, poor quality utility power, and frequent discharges will
shorten battery life. Follow the battery manufacturer recommendations.
• Connect the UPS power cable directly to a wall outlet. Do not use surge
protectors or extension cords.
Battery safety
• Servicing of batteries should be performed or supervised by personnel
knowledgeable about batteries and required precautions.
• APC by Schneider Electric uses Sealed Maintenance-Free Lead Acid
batteries. Under normal use and handling, there is no contact with the
internal components of the batteries. Over charging, over heating or
other misuse of batteries can result in leakage of battery electrolyte.
Released electrolyte is toxic and may be harmful to the skin and eyes.
• Use tool with insulated handles.
• Wear rubber gloves and boots.
• Determine if battery is either intentionally or inadvertently grounded.
Contact with any part of a grounded battery can result in electric shock
or burns by high short-circuit current. The risk of such hazards can be
reduced if grounds are removed during installation and maintenance by
a skilled person

connected to the utility power. The Back-UPS battery will charge while the
Back-UPS is turned on or off and as long as it is connected to utility power.
Do not expect the battery to run for its expected capacity during the initial
charge period. The UPS will have full runtime capability after the initial
24 hour charging period.
Turn Off the Back-UPS
Press the POWER ON/OFF button for at least 2 seconds to turn off the
Back-UPS. At the first beep, release the button and the UPS will turn off.
A 2 second delay has been added to mitigate unintentional contact with the
POWER ON/OFF button.

Voltage Sensitivity Adjustment (Optional)
The Back-UPS will switch to battery power if the utility input voltage level or
distortions go out of range or if the utility power is experiencing voltage
fluctuations, to protect connected equipment. In situations where either the
Back-UPS or the connected equipment is too sensitive for the utility input
voltage level, it is necessary to adjust the transfer voltage.
1. Turn off the Back-UPS while connected to a wall outlet.
2. Press and hold the POWER ON/OFF button for 10 seconds. The
Power On/Off LED will alternate green and red to indicate that the
Back-UPS is in Program mode.
3. The Power On/Off LED will flash either green, amber, or red to indicate
the current sensitivity level. Refer to the table below for an explanation
of the transfer voltage sensitivity levels.
