## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long will this UPS power my system when the power goes out?**
A: Runtimes of any UPS will vary based on the amount of power required by your connected devices. The LCD Screen on the Back-UPS Pro model will display the estimated runtime based on the current power load of devices plugged into the UPS.

**Q: Will the UPS automatically switch off from the battery backup when power is restored?**
A: Yes, when adequate power is restored to the UPS and is within the operating voltage range of the UPS, it will restart online operation.

**Q: Will this UPS provide continuous power in the case of a power outage?**
A: This Back-UPS Pro instantly switches to battery power, when the main power goes out. The average transfer time is 8 milliseconds, and most connected devices do not experience any interruption in power.

**Q: Can I plug the UPS into an extension cord or does it have to be plugged into a wall?**
A: In order for your UP to get the best power available, you should plug it directly into the wall receptacle. Plugging your UPS into a surge protection may cause the UPS to go on battery more often, even if the main power has not gone out.
