two separate devices.
Overview | Features and Functions
Before installation, please inspect the Unit upon receipt. Make sure that
nothing is damaged.
All specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
3. AC Breaker (Circuit Breaker; see #3 on Fig. 2)
Your Battery Backup features three LED indicators. Each is marked by a
power icon; please familiarize yourself with this chart, as it will assist you in
the use of your Battery Backup. (See #4 on Fig. 1)
Installation
Note: Before installation, please inspect the Unit.
Should a power overload occur, the circuit breaker triggers the Unit to turn
off AC power. To restore power, depress the “circuit breaker” button to reset,
then depress the “Power” button.
Make sure that nothing inside the package is damaged.
A. Connect to AC Utility Power
4. USB Communication Port (See #4 on Fig. 2)
Plug in the AC cord to a wall outlet. Please make sure there are
no devices plugged into the Unit. Check to see whether the
“SITE WIRING FAULT” indicator is lit. If it is lit, please have the
utility wiring inspected by an electrician.
The Unit features a USB communication port. Installation of the cable and the
Bulldog Plus Software, which allows the Unit to connect to your computer, is
optional. The Unit will provide backup power whether or not the cable and
software are installed; however, without them you will be unable to utilize the data
management product features.

D. Plug in Power Devices
Battery Replacement Procedure
Plug your devices into the AC outlets on the Unit. To use the Unit as a
master on/off switch, make sure all of the loads are switched on.
When the Unit is operating and supplying
the utility power to connect loads, the LED
flashes and the buzzer emits a sound every
1 minute to indicate the Unit’s battery needs
to be replaced.
Caution: Never connect a laser printer or scanner to the
backup outlets along with other computer equipment.
A laser printer or scanner draws significantly more
power when in use than when idle. This may overload
the Battery Backup.

Site Wiring Fault
The “SITE WIRING FAULT”LED illuminates
when one of the following conditions exist:
1. Connect a single phone/fax/modem line into the surge-protected outlets
on the side of the Unit. The RJ11 modular outlets accept standard
single-line telephone connections.
1. Open or high resistance ground
2. Hot and neutral polarities reversed
1. Push the connector in the arrowhead direction.(Fig.1)
2. Remove the battery cover plate and the battery from the Unit(Fig.2)
2. Plug one end of the phone cable into your telephone wall jack and plug
the other end into the jack marked “IN”. You may now plug a phone, fax,
or modem into either of the two jacks marked “OUT”. (See Fig. 3)
3. Disconnect the insulated connectors from the battery terminals, and replace
the new battery pack. (Fig. 3)

Please save or recycle the packaging materials!
The Unit’s packaging was designed with great care to provide protection
during shipment and delivery. These materials are invaluable if you ever have
to return the Unit for service. Damage sustained during transit is not covered
under the warranty.
Backup (Slow Alarm)
When the Unit is in “backup” mode (running on battery), the YELLOW LED
illuminates and the Unit emits an audible alarm. The alarm stops when the
Unit returns to normal online operation.
Note: This connection is optional but highly recommended as phone/fax/
modem lines often carry dangerous surges and spikes. The Unit works
properly without a phone/fax/modem connection.
Low Battery (Rapid Alarm)
Overview | Top Panel
In “backup” mode, when the battery energy runs low, the Unit beeps rapidly
until it either shuts down from a depleted battery or returns to normal
online operation.
Fig. 1
Caution: The phone/fax/modem protection feature could be rendered inoperable
if improperly installed. Make sure that the telephone line from the wall is plugged
into the connector marked“IN”, and the devices to be protected (phone/fax/
modem) are plugged into the connector marked “OUT”.
Fault (10 Seconds Continuously)
When the Unit fails, it emits an audible alarm continuously for 10 seconds to
warn of a fault condition. Disconnect the equipment prior to checking it.
F Connect the USB (Universal Serial Port) Communication
Port (See #4 on Fig. 2)
