WARNING: Risk of Electrical Shock. Hazardous live part s inside
these Battery Packs are energized from the battery.
CAUTION! T o de-energize the Battery Pack:
1. If the UPS is on press and release the Off/On button.
2. Disconnect the UPS from the wall outlet.
3. Turn off the DC breaker on the rear panel of the Battery Pack.
4. Disconnect the battery cable from the rear panel of the UPS.
5. T o de-energize the Battery Pack completely , disconnect the batteries.
CAUTION! These Battery Packs are intended to be install in a
temperature controlled environment that is free of conductive contaminants. Select a location which will provide good air circulation for
the Battery Pack and UPS at all times.
CAUTION! T o reduce the risk of electrical shock with the installa-
tion of these Battery Packs, with the UPS equipment and the connected equipment, the user must ensure that the combined sum of
the AC leakage current does not exceed 3.5mA.
WARNING: These Battery Packs contains potentially hazardous
voltages. Do not attempt to disassemble the Battery Pack beyond
the battery replacement procedure. These Battery Packs contains
no user serviceable parts. Repairs and Battery replacement must be
performed by QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONL Y .
Receiving Inspection
After removing your Battery Pack from its carton, it should be inspected for
damage that may have occurred in shipping. Immediately notify the carrier and
place of purchase if any damage is found. Warranty claims for damage caused
by the carrier will not be honored. The packing materials that your Battery
Pack was shipped in are carefully designed to minimize any shipping damage.
In the unlikely case that the Battery Pack needs to be returned to the manufacturer, please use the original packing material. Since the manufacturer is not
responsible for shipping damage incurred when the system is returned, the
original packing material is inexpensive insurance.
PLEASE SAVE THE PACKING MATERIALS!
