power system via a wall outlet
with an earth connector, using the
supplied cord 2 (see figure A).
◗ Plug critical equipment
(computer, monitor, modem, etc.)
into the outlets 6 providing
battery backup power and surge
protection (see figure B), taking
care not to exceed the rated current
indicated in amperes.
◗ Other devices (printer, scanner,
fax, etc.) can be connected to the
filtered outlets 7 that provides
surge protection (see figure B). The
filtered outlets are not backed up
by battery power in the event of a
power outage.
◗ Fax/modem connection:
