Basic Operation
D
"REPLACE" (Battery Recharge/Replace) Icon: This icon will illuminate and an alarm will sound after a self-test to indicate the UPS
battery needs to be recharged or replaced. Allow the UPS to recharge continuously for 24 hours, and repeat the self-test. If the icon
continues to illuminate, contact Tripp Lite for service. Battery replacement should only be performed by qualified service personnel. If the
UPS requires battery replacement, Tripp Lite offers a complete line of replacement batteries at www.tripplite.com.
E
"ON BAT" (On Battery) Icon: During a severe brownout or blackout, this icon illuminates and an alarm sounds (4 short beeps followed
by a pause) to indicate the UPS is operating from its internal batteries. Monitor the "Battery Capacity" Meter to determine the
approximate battery charge level available to support equipment. During a prolonged brownout or blackout, the alarm will sound
continuously (and the "BATTERY CAPACITY" Meter will show one 20% capacity segment shaded) to indicate the UPS batteries are nearly
out of power; you should save files and shut down your equipment immediately.
F
"FAULT" Icon: This icon will illuminate and an alarm will sound after a self-test to indicate the battery-supported outlets are overloaded.
To clear the overload, unplug some of your equipment from the battery-supported outlets and run the self-test repeatedly until the icon is
no longer illuminated and the alarm is no longer sounding.
CAUTION! Any overload that is not corrected by the user immediately following a self-test may cause the UPS to shut down
and cease supplying output power in the event of a blackout or brownout.

Battery Backup Protected/Surge Protected
Outlets: Provide both battery backup and
surge protection. Plug your computer, monitor
and other critical equipment into these
outlets.
Note: Do not plug laser printers into these outlets.
USB Communication Port: This port can connect your UPS to a computer in order to automatically save open files and
shut down the computer if it is left unattended during an extended power failure. Use with Tripp Lite's PowerAlert
and appropriate USB cable. PowerAlert software can be obtained for free via the Web at www.tripplite.com and a USB
cable is included with your UPS. Download the software to your computer and follow the installation instructions. Any user-
supplied USB cable may be used to connect your UPS to your computer.
Notes:
• This connection is optional. The UPS will work properly without this connection.
• This UPS System automatically provides basic communication compatibility with many integrated Windows®, Macintosh® and Linux®
power management applications.
CAUTION: Users shall take proper care to minimize Electro-Static events. In the event of a severe Electro-
Static Discharge on or near the USB port, this UPS may shut down automatically. In the case of a shut
down, the UPS will need to be turned back on.
Tel/DSL Protection Jacks: RJ-style jacks protect connected equipment by stopping surges on a single phone, fax or
modem line. Connect a phone cord from the wall jack directly to the Tel/DSL jack labeled "IN." Connect a phone cord from
the Tel/DSL jack labeled "OUT" directly to the device to be protected. The UPS system must always be the first item
connected in line from the wall jack. The UPS system must be plugged into a grounded AC outlet for Tel/DSL line surge
protection to work. Connecting your equipment to these jacks is optional. Your UPS will work properly without this
connection.
AC Input Outlet: This outlet accepts a user-supplied power cord with a country-specific plug.
Battery Replacement (back panel, not shown): Under normal conditions, the original battery in your UPS will last
several years. Battery replacement should be performed only by qualified service personnel. Refer to "Battery Warnings" in
the Safety section. Should your UPS require battery replacement, visit Tripp Lite on the Web at http://www.tripplite.com/
products/battery-finder/ to locate the specific replacement battery for your UPS.
Surge-Only Protected Outlets: Provide surge
and line noise protection, not battery backup.
Plug equipment (such as a printer, scanner or
fax machine) that does not require battery
backup during a utility power failure into these
outlets.
