2 Connect Equipment to the Back-UPS
The rear panel of the Back-UPS consists of the following elements:
Battery Back Up Outlets (qty. of 3). These outlets provide battery back-up, surge protection, and Electro-magnetic Interference (EMI) filtering. In case of power outage, battery power is automatically provided to these outlets. Power (utility or battery) is not supplied to these outlets when the Back-UPS is switched Off. Connect a computer, monitor, and external disk or CD-ROM drive to these outlets.
Surge Only Outlet. This outlet is always On (when utility power is available) and is not controlled by the On/Off switch. This outlet does not provide power during a power outage. Connect a printer, fax machine or scanner to this outlet.
3 Connect the Phone Line to Surge Protection
The telephone ports provide lightning surge protection for any device connected to the telephone line (computer, modem, fax or telephone). The telephone ports are compatible with Home Phoneline Networking Alliance (HPNA) and Digital Suscriber Line (DSL) standards, as well as all modem data rates. Connect as shown.

Attention: USB Hubs
The Back-UPS should be plugged into the USB port of the computer, not into a USB hub.

Windows 98® and Windows Me® Users
The APC Power Management Extensions software has been designed specifically to work with Windows 98 build number 4.10.1998, Windows 98 SE (Second Edition) 4.10.2222A, and Windows Me (Millennium Edition).
To ascertain the build number, go to the Control Panel, open the System dialog and view the System information under the General tab of the dialog. To install the software, perform the following steps:
1.Please skip to step 4 if running Windows Me. For Windows 98, after connecting the USB cable, the “Add New Hardware Wizard” dialog box is displayed. Insert a Windows 98 operating system CD into the computer CD-ROM drive before proceeding.
2.Follow the installation instructions on the computer screen.
During installation, Windows will need to search for new drivers. When prompted, make sure the CD-ROM drive box is checked.
3.After installation of the drivers is complete, a “Windows 98 CD-ROM” dialog box may appear. If this happens, just close the box.
4.Insert the APC Installation CD-ROM into the computer’s drive. The software user documentation is a file on the main folder of the CD. The filename is Users Guide.pdf.

•Runtime needed to work through brief power disturbances. This allows time to manually save data and shut down safely.
The disabled features include Unattended Automatic Operating System Shutdown and Application Data Saving.
