The APC Back-UPS 500VA, 230V, AVR, IEC Sockets backup power supply provides backup power during a power outage, protection against surges and spikes, and data line protection (e.g., Ethernet), and is designed for indoor use. LED and audio signals indicate mains operation, battery operation, low battery, overload, overheating, battery replacement needed, and charger failure.
Safety instructions:
Connect only to an earthed socket.
Do not use in damp or dusty environments.
Do not open the battery (toxic electrolyte).
Risk of electric shock, burns from short circuits, or explosion if mishandled.
Do not use metal objects when working with the battery and wear protective equipment.
Installation and use:
Placement: away from sun, heat, moisture, and dust, ideally on the floor.
Procedure: connect the battery, plug in your devices (without an extension lead), plug the UPS into a socket, switch it on with the button.
Do not plug into a surge protector or an extension lead.
Maintenance and service:
The battery is not normally user-replaceable.
