Safety and General Information
This unit is intended for indoor use only.
Do not operate this unit in direct sunlight, in contact
with fluids, or where there is excessive dust or
humidity.
Be sure the air vents on the UPS are not blocked.
Allow adequate space for proper ventilation.
The battery typically lasts for two to five years. Environmental factors impact battery life.
Elevated ambient temperatures, poor quality utility power, and frequent short duration
discharges will shorten battery life.
Connect the Back-UPS power cable directly to a wall outlet. Do not use surge protectors or
extension cords.

equipment for a limited period of time during power outages and
voltage fluctuations.
The Battery Backup outlets provide battery power to connected
equipment only when the Back-UPS is turned on.
Connect critical equipment such as desktop computer, computer
monitor, modem or other data sensitive devices to these outlets.
Do not connect aquarium equipment, laser printers, paper
shredders, sump pumps, or fans to these outlets as the modified
sine wave output of the Back-UPS may cause these devices to
experience a decrease in performance.
Note: Connect equipment to these outlets using a standard
molded 6 A plug.
Surge Protection
This outlet helps to provides full time protection for connected
equipment from power surges or spikes, when the Back-UPS is
turned on or off.
The Surge Protection outlet does not supply battery backup
power to connected equipment.
Connect a printer, scanner or other devices that do not require
battery backup protection.
Note: Connect equipment to this outlet using a standard molded

Voltage Sensitivity Adjustment
The Back-UPS detects and reacts to line voltage distortions by transferring to
battery backup power to help protect connected equipment.
If the Back-UPS switches to battery power too frequently or too infrequently,
adjust the transfer voltage and sensitivity settings:
1. Connect the Back-UPS to a utility power source. The Back-UPS will be
in Standby mode. No LED will be illuminated.
2. Press and hold the POWER ON/OFF button until the LED flashes
alternately green-red-amber. Release the button. The Back-UPS is now
in Program mode.
3. The Power On LED will flash either green, amber, or red to indicate the
voltage sensitivity level. Refer to the table for an explanation of the
transfer voltage sensitivity levels.
4. To select LOW sensitivity, press the POWER ON/OFF button until the LED
flashes green.
5. To select MEDIUM sensitivity, press the POWER ON/OFF button until the
LED flashes amber.
6. To select HIGH sensitivity, press the POWER ON/OFF button until the
LED flashes red.
7. To exit Program mode wait five seconds and all LED indicators will
extinguish. Program mode is no longer active.

PowerChute Personal Edition Software for
BE700Y-IND only
Overview
PowerChute Personal Edition Software allows you to use your computer to
access additional power protection and management features of the Back-UPS.
Using PowerChute, you can:
Preserve work in progress during a power outage by putting your
computer into Hibernate mode. When the power returns, the computer
will appear exactly as it did before the power outage.
Configure the Back-UPS management features, such as power-saving
outlets, shutdown parameters, audible alarms, and more.
Monitor and view the status of the Back-UPS, including the estimated
runtime, power consumption, power event history, and more.
Available features will vary by Back-UPS model and operating system.
If you choose not to install PowerChute, the Back-UPS will still provide
backup power and power protection to connected equipment. However, you
will only be able to configure a limited number of features using the display
interface.
Compatibility
PowerChute is compatible with Windows operating systems only. For a
detailed list of supported operating systems, go to www.apc.com, select
Software & Firmware.
For Mac operating systems, we recommend using the native shutdown
application (within System Preferences) which recognizes your battery backup
and allows you to configure shutdown of your system during power outages.
To access this application, connect a USB cable from the Back-UPS DATA
PORT (POWERCHUTE PORT) to a USB port on your computer, and see the
documentation provided with your computer.
Installation
To install PowerChute Personal Edition (PCPE) software, connect the supplied
USB cable between the data port on the UPS and to a computer with access to
the web.
On the computer, go to www.apc.com/tools/download. Select Software
Upgrades - PowerChute Personal Edition in the Filter by Software/
Firmware drop down menu. Select the appropriate operating system. Follow
