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.

Operation
To switch the unit on, press the power button. The product will beep and the Online indicator will light up. In the event of a power outage, the unit automatically switches to battery power for the backup outlets, and the On Battery indicator will illuminate.

Sensitivity adjustment
If the AC input voltage is unstable, you can adjust the sensitivity to prevent damage to connected equipment:
- Switch the product on in line mode.
- Press and hold the MUTE button for 6 seconds until all indicators flash rapidly.
- Press the MUTE button repeatedly to cycle through sensitivity settings (Low, Medium, High).
- Press and hold the MUTE button to save the setting.
Connecting to a computer
Use a USB type B to type A cable to connect the UPS to a computer. Download the PowerPanel Personal software from the Amazon website by searching for the product number (B07RWMLKFM) to monitor energy consumption and configure settings.
