All outlets are powered whenever the Back-UPS ES is switched ON. During a power outage or other utility problems (brownouts, over-voltages), these outlets will be powered for a limited time by the Back-UPS ES. Plug your computer, monitor, and one other data-sensitive device (external disk or tape drive) into these outlets.
The Back-UPS ES protects a single line (2-wire) fax, modem or phone from surges when it is connected through the Back-UPS ES phone jacks as shown.
The supplied cable and CD-ROM provide automatic file saving and shutdown of the operating system in the case of a sustained power outage. Connect the cable to the Data Port on the side of the Back-UPS ES. Connect the other end of the cable to the USB port on your computer.
