Troubleshooting

UPS not turning on.

Check the power connection to the wall outlet and ensure the UPS is switched on. If the issue persists, test the outlet with another device and contact support.

Check the connections to the UPS. Ensure the device is plugged into a battery backup outlet, and the UPS is turned on. Also, check the battery capacity on the LCD screen.
