Surge Protection
These outlets provide full-time protection from surges even if the
Back-UPS NS is switched OFF. Plug your printer, fax machine,
scanner, or other peripherals that do not need battery power into
these outlets.
Battery Back-up plus Surge Protection
These outlets are powered whenever the Back-UPS NS 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 NS. Plug your computer,
monitor, CD-ROM drive and one other data-sensitive device
such as an external disk or tape drive, or Home Phoneline
Networking Association (HPNA) device into these outlets.
Press the ON/OFF switch to power the unit
ON.
A single short beep and the green “Power”
indicator confirms the Back-UPS NS is on and
ready to provide protection.
The Back-UPS NS should charge for at least 16
hours to ensure sufficient runtime. The unit is
being charged whenever it is connected to utility
power, whether the unit is turned ON or OFF.
If the red Building Wiring Fault indicator (located
on the end near the power cord) is lit, your
building wiring presents a shock hazard that
should be corrected by a qualified electrician.

For safety, the Back-UPS NS is shipped with one battery wire disconnected. The UPS will not operate until the wire is connected to the touch-safe
battery terminal. NOTE: Small sparks may occur during battery connection. This is normal.
Turn the Back-UPS NS over and press in the
two release tabs. Slide the plastic battery
cover off the unit.
Insert the battery back into the compartment.
Slide the plastic battery cover in place until the
two tabs lock into place.
Connect the battery wire firmly to

Connect Modem / Phone / DSL / Fax / HPNA to Surge Protection
The Back-UPS protects a single line (2-wire) phone (including Digital Subscriber Line -
DSL), Home Phoneline Networking Association (HPNA) type equipment, modem, or
fax machines from surges when connected through the UPS as shown below.
Place the Back-UPS NS to avoid:
- Direct sunlight
- Excessive heat
- Excessive humidity or contact with fluids
Plug the Back-UPS NS power cord directly into a wall outlet; not a surge
protector or power strip.
Connect Computer Cable
The supplied cable and software 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 of the Back-UPS NS. Connect the other end of the
cable to the USB port on your computer. The software will automatically find the USB
Port of your computer.

LIMITED WARRANTY
The standard warranty is two (2) years from the date of purchase. APC’s standard
procedure is to replace the original unit with a factory reconditioned unit. Customers
who must have the original unit back due to the assignment of asset tags and set
depreciation schedules must declare such a need at first contact with an APC Technical
Support representative. APC will ship the replacement unit once the defective unit has
been received by the repair department, or cross-ship upon the receipt of a valid credit
card number. The customer pays for shipping the unit to APC. APC pays ground
freight transportation costs to ship the replacement unit to the customer.
In situations where the Back-UPS or connected equipment appears too sensitive to
input voltage, it may be necessary to adjust the transfer voltage. This is a simple task
requiring use of the front panel pushbutton. To adjust the transfer voltage, proceed as
follows:
1. Plug the Back-UPS into the utility power source. The Back-UPS will be in a
Standby Mode (no indicators lit).
2. Press the front panel pushbutton fully inward for 10 seconds. All indicators on the
Back-UPS will flash to acknowledge going into Programming Mode.
3. The Back-UPS will then indicate its current Sensitivity Setting, as shown in the
following table.
4. To select the Low Sensitivity setting, press the pushbutton until the yellow
indicator is flashing.
5. To select the Medium Sensitivity setting, press the pushbutton until the yellow
and red indicators (second and third from the top) are flashing.
6. To select the High Sensitivity setting, press the pushbutton until yellow and both
red indicators (bottom three) are flashing.
7. To exit without changing the Sensitivity Setting, press the pushbutton until the
green indicator is flashing.
8. Once in Programming Mode, if the pushbutton is not pressed within 5 seconds,
the Back-UPS will exit Programming Mode; all indicators will extinguish.
