    Continuous power provides ultimate protection for your gear Safeguard your equipment and get the convenience of automatic battery backup with this uninterruptible power supply from Panamax. Connect up to nine components to the MB850's surge-protected outlets - five of which also provide battery power when the electricity goes out. In the event of a blackout or brownout, the built-in battery keeps your components up and running for between six minutes and two hours, depending on the amount of juice your system draws. This gives you time to shut down your system in a safe, orderly manner. Includes nine surge-protected outlets, five with battery backup power. How does battery backup power help? An uninterruptible power supply reduces the hassles and even potential damage to your gear that can be caused by sudden outages. For instance, battery backup power helps you avoid losing programmed DVR recordings, unsaved video games, and convenient system settings. Safe, clean power The MB850 also gives you consistent, clean power which helps your system perform at its best. Automatic Voltage Monitoring (AVM) circuitry keeps outgoing AC power within an optimal voltage range for your home theater components. You also get a set of in/out coaxial F-type connections for protecting your cable line or satellite receiver, plus ports for a phone line or Ethernet cable. The LCD display lets you closely monitor info such as voltage, battery capacity, and load level. And a line fault indicator alerts you to any faulty wiring within your system. Note: This model is not recommended for use with amplifiers, receivers, or powered subwoofers.
