Back-UPS ES is switched OFF. Plug your printer, fax machine,
scanner, or other peripherals that do not need battery power into these
outlets.

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.
