your computer to the communication port of your

Telephone/Network Protection Jacks
Your UPS has jacks that protect against surges
over a telephone line or a network data line. Using
telephone or network data cables, connect your
wall jack to the UPS jack marked "IN." Connect
your equipment to the UPS jack marked "OUT."
Make sure the equipment you connect to the UPS
jacks is also protected against surges on the AC
line.
3
External Battery Connection
Your UPS comes with a robust internal battery
system; external batteries are needed only to
extend runtime. Adding external batteries will
increase recharge time as well as runtime.
The illustration shows the location of the External
Battery Connector
battery pack cable. Complete installation
instructions for your battery pack appear in the
battery pack owner's manual. Make sure that
cables are fully inserted into their connectors.
Small sparks may result during battery connection;
this is normal.
Warning: Do not connect or disconnect
battery packs when the UPS is running on
battery power.
