Quick guide from the manual

This UPS provides battery backup and surge protection for connected equipment. Before using the device for the first time, it is recommended to charge the battery for at least 24 hours. The product features a delivery safety lock and must be connected to a power supply before the initial start-up. Ensure the total power consumption of connected devices does not exceed 1500 VA / 900 W.

Product overview

The UPS features a front panel with a power button, mute button, and status indicators (Online, AVR, On Battery, Overload). The rear panel contains 10 outlets: 5 outlets provide battery backup and surge protection, while the other 5 provide surge protection only. A USB type B socket is available for computer connectivity.
