Just bought this product. Plugged my Brother 5200dwt printer and I received a F02. Do I need to charge before using? null

Question

Guessing · Accepted Answer

I have not seen an F02 error on my unit but I did charge it before I connected anything to it. You also need to plug in the battery. The battery is in the unit but not connected. 

I looked up the error and the APC troubleshooting guide says:

F02 = On-Battery Output Short

Troubleshooting Procedure::
Turn the Back-UPS off. Disconnect all equipment from the Battery Backup outlets and the turn Back-UPS on. Re-connect equipment one item at a time. If the output is tripped again, disconnect the device that caused the error.

I hope this helps.

Never plug a printer into a UPS, The excessive power draw will damage it.
