QR Code Scan

Register your device by scanning the QR code on your UPS using your smart phone or tablet device. You can scan your Smart-UPS device’s QR code using the web portal’s integrated QR code scanner or via a third-party QR code reader. It is recommended you use the web portal’s built-in scanner as it is the quickest way to register your device.
