UPS

So after plugging my UPS in the wall for the first time, everything looks to work fine - however at about 10 minutes into charging, it started showing a flashing orange LED next to one of the symbols.

 

So what i'd like help with is: What do the different symbols mean and what does the flashing orange LED stand for?

The one with the red circle around it looks like a momentary power surge/voltage rising above safe thresholds.

Above that is the light that comes on when the mains power dies and it switches to battery. 

The battery with the cross through it means replace battery.

 Almost as cool as my temps

That should be Bypass mode where the UPS's battery backup is not going to be used and only acts as a surge protector. It usually trips if the UPS has failed, or if there is very high inrush current from devices starting up.

Is it anything to worry about?
