Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of Bulldog Plus to manage your Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS). Bulldog Plus is designed to provide end users the ability to
take proactive steps to protect their equipment from power related damages. Bulldog
Plus allows for automatic shutdowns, scheduled shutdowns and a variety of other
features that help you manage your system and its peripheral components.
Bulldog Plus provides detailed information about the UPS and its protected
equipment. It is easy to install and program, yet has the necessary features to handle
all of ones power requirements.
Bulldog Plus runs in the background from the operating system, and communicates
with the UPS in order to ensure that your computer and attached components are
protected from any power problems.

Notice:
Due to a limitation in Mac OSX 10.1. the program is unable to turn off the
UPS following a Bulldog Plus shutdown of the Mac computer.

boxes. It also allows you to monitor the UPS through the Main Screen.
