This UPS (Uninterrupted Power System)  
has been designed to supply power to  
connected equipment in the event of an  
electrical blackout. It is also equipped with  
built-in surge protection to guard connect-  
ed equipment against electrical damage.  
When your wall outlet is supplying normal  
AC power flow, the UPS provides surge  
protection and draws energy to charge its  
internal battery.When the AC power flow  
becomes abnormal, as in the instance of a  
blackout, the UPS will supply power to the  
connected equipment immediately, via its  
internal battery. Philips offers an entire line  
of UPS products to safeguard your home

from your UPS, allow the battery to re-  
charge at least six hours before first using  
your UPS.To charge the battery, simply  
plug the UPS into a properly grounded AC  
outlet and turn on.Turn off before con-  
necting components  
3.1 Connect your UPS  
Warning  
Carefully read the safety precautions in  
Section 1. Important, before you connect  
your UPS.  
Plug your primary equipment’s (e.g.  
computer, monitor, any critical data  
storage device) power cords directly  
into the battery back-up outlets of  
your UPS.  
3
Warning  
Before connecting your UPS to a power  
outlet, make sure the electrical power  
voltage matches with the UPS. For ex-  
ample, if the UPS voltage is 120V, the  
incoming electrical power should be 120V  
as well.  
Plug your peripherals (e.g. printer,  
fax, video and audio devices) into the  
surge protected outlets of the UPS.  
4
Note  
Caution  
Do not plug a laser printer or plotter  
into your UPS. Its power demands are  
much higher than typical peripherals and  
may overload the UPS, causing the circuit  
breaker to trip.  
Do not use any extension cords, adapters,  
other grounding wires or electrical con-  
nections with your UPS. Doing so will void  
all Philips warranties.  
To connect your UPS:  
3.2 Connect your UPS to a phone/  
fax/modem  
Release the power cord from its twist  
tie.  
1
Your UPS offers Solid State phone/fax/  
modem protection.This requires you to  
connect your phone/fax/modem to the  
protected jacks on your UPS instead of  
connecting directly to the wall jack.  
Plug the end into a 3-wire grounded  
AC outlet.  
2
Note  
Make certain that the 3-wire grounded  
AC outlet that you are plugging the UPS  
into does not also service any appliances  
requiring heavy electricity, such as a refrig-  
erator, air conditioner, copier, etc.  
This telephone line protection is designed  
to provide maximum protection from  
surges present on two-line or “dial-up”  
telephone service. Other communications

to correct the problem before returning  
power to the UPS.  
3.3 Check the power requirement of  
your equipment  
4 Using your UPS  
Before turning on your UPS, you must first  
confirm that that the total power of your  
equipment does not exceed 1440VA, the  
total rating capacity of the unit.  
To determine the total power of your equip-  
ment:  
Learn how to operate your UPS for  
everyday use.  
Caution  
UPS surge protection components are not  
designed to protect against sustained low  
voltage situations. Sustained low voltage  
situations can cause damage to some con-  
nected equipment.  
Check the rear panel of each device for  
a power rating.This number is followed  
by eitherW orVA and usually located  
near the power cord.  
1
Total the power requirements.  
2
When you first turn the power on your  
9
 
UPS, it will immediately begin a self test to  
determine if an overload situation exists.  
If it detects an overload, an audible alarm  
will sound.You will hear a long beep before  
the system automatically shuts down. If  
this occurs:  
5. Restore power to UPS by plug the  
power cord back into the wall outlet.  
Repeat this simulation test a few times to  
confirm your UPS is working properly and  
determine the expected runtime.  
Unplug at least one piece of equip-  
ment from the battery back-up outlets. Note  
Turn off the power to the UPS.  
Wait 5 seconds.  
Make sure the circuit breaker is set.  
Turn the UPS back on.  
1
2
3
If a power failure occurs immediately  
after you turn on the UPS, but before its  
initial self-test sequence, your UPS will  
automatically shut down. It will not restart  
until electrical power is restored.This al-  
lows your UPS to check the quality of the  
power that is delivered to your connected  
equipment.  
Note  
Your UPS is equipped with a self protec-  
tion feature that prevents accidental  
damage if the UPS is turned on and off  
repeatedly. Once you turn your UPS off,  
you must wait 5 seconds before turning it  
on again.  
Tip  
To maintain a full battery charge, leave  
your UPS plugged in and turned on at all  
times.  
Philips recommends you perform a simula-  
tion test when using your UPS for the first  
time or when connecting an additional  
piece of equipment.  
The surge protection of your UPS has a  
limited life. Even under normal circum-  
stances, and in the absence of defects,  
this surge protection will end when the  
components providing protection exceed  
capacity and cease to provide protection  
from power surges and spikes.  
To conduct a simulation test:  
Turn on the UPS.  
1
Wait for the power indicator to  
illuminate.  
2
Unplug the UPS power cord from the  
wall.This simulates a power failure.  
3
These surge protection components  
feature an internal protection that will  
disconnect them at the end of their useful  
life, but will still maintain power to your  
connected equipment (load).When this  
occurs, you will have to replace your UPS  
to restore protection to your connected  
equipment.  
When an electrical power failure occurs,  
the battery power outlets of your UPS will  
supply power to the connected equipment  
from its battery.An alarm will beep once  
every two seconds.  
4. Confirm all equipment connected to  
the battery power outlets of your UPS is  
operating under the limited rating power.

safe to channel to your equipment. Once  
the power returns, the UPS will automati-  
cally reset itself to normal operation and  
recharge its internal battery.  
Your UPS is equipped with an LED  
indicator display to keep you alert to its  
effectiveness.This surge protection indica-  
tor light is illuminated when the surge  
protection components are functioning  
properly. If this light is off, it indicates that  
the surge protection components have  
reached capacity and are no longer able to  
protect your connected equipment against  
surges.  
Back-up alarm  
In the event of a power failure, your UPS  
will sound an alarm, alerting you that it is  
going into back-up mode. It will sustain  
this alarm, beeping slowly every two  
seconds.  
To mute the alarm:  
1.Press the power button for one second  
and release.  
Your UPS also offers a “ground” indica-  
tor light to confirm that the wall outlet is  
wired properly.  
Warning  
Do not hold the power button down for  
more than 1 second when muting the alarm.  
Holding the power button down 3 seconds  
or longer will turn the UPS completely off,  
halting battery power to your connected  
equipment.  
5 Using more of  
your UPS  
Learn about more features of your UPS.  
Auto restart  
Low battery alarm  
Your UPS is equipped with an auto shut  
down feature which activates when the  
battery level becomes too low to sustain  
power to your connected equipment and  
electricity is not present.  
When your UPS has been in back-up  
mode for an extended time and its internal  
battery has been depleted down to 20%  
or 30% of its power, it will sound an alarm,  
beeping rapidly every half second.This alarm  
will continue until the UPS shuts down  
completely from battery exhaustion or it  
automatically returns to normal (LINE)  
operation.  
For example, if you are away from home  
during a power outage, your UPS will im-  
mediately provide power to your connect-  
ed equipment through its internal battery.  
If the power outage exceeds the runtime  
of the UPS, the UPS will automatically  
switch into Suspend Mode, ceasing power  
to your connected equipment. It will retain  
the little power it has remaining to ensure  
that, when the power does return, it is

What should I do if I cannot turn the UPS  
on or the LED light will not illuminate?  
This may occur if the battery voltage  
is less than 10V. Recharge the UPS for  
a minimum of six hours. If the problem  
persists, it may be PCB (Printed Circuit  
Board) failure.You will have to call for  
service to replace the PCB.

Operating environment 3,500 meters  
maximum elevation, 9 – 95% humidity,  
non-condensing, 0 – 40° C  
What should I do if my UPS is always  
operating in the battery back-up mode?  
First, make sure the power cord is  
Noise level  
<40dBA (1 meter from surface)  
securely engaged in the AC outlet. If the  
power cord is secure, it may be possible  
the AC fuse is burnt out. Check the fuse  
and replace, if necessary. If the AC fuse is  
operational and the problem persists, the  
line voltage may be too high, too low or  
blacked out. In this case, you must wait for  
a return to normal conditions. If none of  
these solutions return the UPS to normal  
operation, it may be PCB failure.You will  
have to call for service to replace the PCB.
