Use the LCD to monitor load, battery status and runtime. Install the provided autoshutdown software on a connected computer to enable automatic safe shutdown during extended power loss.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, perform periodic battery self-tests and replace the battery according to APC guidelines or when runtime degrades noticeably. Keep the UPS in a temperature-controlled environment and avoid blocking ventilation openings. Ensure connected equipment power draw does not exceed the 720 W rating to maintain the specified backup time.
