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
•Wear rubber gloves and boots
•Do not lay tools or metal parts on tops of batteries
•Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or
disconnecting battery terminals
•Do not open or mutilate the battery. Exposed or dam-
aged batteries can release electrolytes which are harmful
to the skin and eyes and may be toxic.

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”

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.

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.
10
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
