12.2     Unplug the UPS power cord. PowerChute plus should do the following:

12.2.1  Change the main screen's UPS status message from ON LINE to ON BATTERY.

12.2.2  List UPS ON BATTERY in the event log.

12.2.3  Show the event text UPS ON BATTERY in the Last Two Events window at the bottom of the main screen.

12.2.4  Send the message UPS ON BATTERY POWER to the users you defined in the "Notify Administrators" dialog box (if you
           enable the Notify Administrators event action for the UPS on battery event) or in the "Notify Users" dialog box, (if you
           enabled the Notify Users event action for the UPS on battery event). PowerChute plus sends the message after waiting the
           initial message delay period for the notification (by default, 30 seconds).

12.3    Plug in the UPS power cord. PowerChute plus should do the following:

12.3.1 Change the main screen's UPS status message from ON BATTERY to ON LINE.

12.3.2 Record the event text NORMAL POWER RESTORED: UPS ON LINE in the event log.

12.3.3 List NORMAL POWER RESTORED: UPS ON LINE in the event log.

12.3.4 Send the message UTILITY POWER RESTORED to the users you defined in the "Notify Administrators" dialog box (if you
          enabled the Notify Administrators event action for the power restored event) or in the "Notify Users" dialog box (if you
          enabled the Notify Users event action for the power restored event). PowerChute plus sends the message after waiting the
          initial message delay period for the notification (by default, 30 seconds).

12.4    If the PowerChute plus did not respond correctly, do the following:

12.4.1 Make sure the UPS cable is connected securely and correctly at the computer and at the UPS.

12.4.2 Reboot the system

12.4.3 Repeat the test

12.5     If the PowerChute plus still does not operate correctly, uninstall and then reinstall PowerChute plus. If the problem persists,
           contact TAC.
