How to use

Connect critical devices to the two AC outlets and plug the UPS into a mains outlet. For safe automated shutdown, connect the USB 2.0 cable to a PC and install Eaton UPS Companion or allow the operating system to detect the UPS for native power management. The double-boost AVR handles voltage fluctuations automatically; when mains fails, the UPS provides battery power and will auto-restart when mains power returns after a full battery discharge. Use the cold-start function to start the UPS from battery without mains if needed.

Recommendations

Place the UPS in a well-ventilated, dust-free area away from heat sources. Regularly run the automatic battery test and replace the battery when the replacement alarm indicates. Ensure connected equipment total power draw does not exceed 480 W to maintain proper backup time and device safety.
