Product Handling Guidelines
2
This device is intended for indoor use only.
Do not use the device in a place exposed to direct sunlight, liquids, excessive dust, or
excessive humidity.
The battery has a lifetime of two to five years, depending on the environmental factors can affect battery life. High temperatures, unstable utility power, and frequent short-term discharges can be the factors shorting the battery life.
Connect the Back-UPS power cord to a wall outlet directly without any intermediate appliances such as surge protectors and power extension cords.
Please read all instructions in this installation manual before installing or using the UPS system.
All safety instructions in this document must be read, understood, and strictly followed.
WARNING
Beware of overheating
Observe the space requirements around the UPS system, and do not cover the vents of the product while the UPS is
in operation.
The outlet used here shall be a grounded one.
The outlet should be near and easily accessible to the UPS.
Failure to follow the instructions could result in serious consequences such as personal injury or equipment damage.
WARNING
Observe the following precautions when handling the battery
Remove watches, rings and any other metal objects.
Use tools with insulated handles.
Wear rubber gloves and boots.
Do not place tools or metal parts on top of the battery.
Disconnect the charging power before connecting or disconnecting the battery terminals.
Check if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If so, remove it from the ground. Contact with any part of a
grounded battery may cause an electric shock. Eliminating such grounding connection can greatly reduce the possibility of electric shock incidents during the installation and maintenance.
Failure to follow the instructions could result in serious consequences such as personal injury or equipment damage.

Full of hazardous fumes.
Full of moisture, dust, dust, steam, or high humidity.
Prone to mold, insects, or parasites.
Full of salty air, cooling water, fumes, acids or other impurities.
With a pollution degree rating higher than 2 according to IEC 60664-1.

Failure to follow the instructions could result in serious consequences such as personal injury.
DANGER
Beware of electric shock, explosion or arc
Battery maintenance should be performed or supervised by personnel familiar with relevant technical
expertise.
Do not throw the battery into a fire. Otherwise an explosion may occur.
Do not disassemble, modify, or destroy the battery. The electrolyte flowing from the battery can damage
human skin and eyes. The electrolyte may also be toxic.
The battery replacement may produce a risk of electric shock and high short-circuit current and shall not
be conducted by users.
The battery replacement, which shall be conducted by technician, shall be done with the same number
and specifications of batteries or battery packs.
A failed battery will product more heat that makes its temperature of accessible surface potentially high
enough to cause skin burn injuries.
Replacement with batteries of the wrong type and specification may cause an explosion hazard. Always
dispose of a used battery in accordance with the instructions.
Failure to follow the instructions could result in serious consequences such as personal injury.
CAUTION
Risk of hydrogen sulfide gas and dense smoke
Replace the battery at least every 5 years.
When the UPS prompts and requires a battery replacement, it should be conducted immediately.
Replace the battery when it reaches the end of its life cycle.
The number and type of replacement batteries must be the same as those of the original batteries in the
device.
When the UPS indicates that the battery temperature is too high, or that the internal temperature of the
UPS is too high, or there are signs of electrolyte leakage, the battery should be replaced immediately. To do so, the UPS shall be turn off, unplugged from the AC input, and disconnected from the battery. Do not operate the UPS until the battery replacement is complete.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury.

Turn on Back-UPS
By a press on the power button, the power button lights up in green with a short alarm sound, indicating that the Back-UPS is turned on and starts providing protection for the connected equipment. As long as the Back-UPS is connected to utility power, the Back-UPS charges its battery whether it is turned on or not and the battery will be fully charged in 24 hours. If the red wiring error indicator, which is near the power cord, is on, the ground wire may be connected wrong and presents a risk of electric shock, which shall be corrected by a qualified electrician immediately.
