1. What should I plug into this UPS?
   Use it for low-power essentials like modem, router, Wi Fi, network switch, NVR, small streaming gear. Skip high-draw stuff like large amps, heaters, and laser printers.
   
2. How long will it run during an outage?
   It depends on load. At 50% load it’s rated around 6.5 minutes. Lighter loads run longer, heavier loads run shorter.
   
3. How do I get OVRC remote monitoring working?
   It works as a normal UPS by itself. For OVRC features, link it to a compatible IP WattBox power conditioner using the UPS Link connection, then monitor it through OVRC.
