NOTICE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J
of Part 15 of FCC Rules and the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital
apparatus
set out in the Radio Interference of the Canadian Department of Communications. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential instal-
lation. This equipment generates and uses radio frequency and if not installed and used
properly, that is, in strict accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, this equipment may
cause interference to radio and television reception. If this equipment does cause interference
to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
n Re-orient the receiving antenna
n Relocate the computer with respect to the receiver
n Move the computer away from the receiver
n Plug the computer into a different outlet so that the computer and receiver are on
different branch circuits.

INTRODUCTION
WARNING: Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
Receiving Inspection
After removing your Minuteman UPS 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 UPS was shipped in are carefully designed to minimize any
shipping damage. In the unlikely case that the UPS needs to be returned to Minuteman,
please use the original packing material. Since Minuteman is not responsible for shipping
damage incurred when the system is returned, the original packing material is inexpensive
insurance.
PLEASE SAVE THE PACKING MATERIALS!
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. HAZARDOUS LIVE PARTS
INSIDE THIS POWER SUPPLY ARE ENERGIZED FROM THE BATTERY EVEN
WHEN THE AC INPUT POWER IS DISCONNECTED.
TO DE-ENERGIZE THE OUTPUTS OF THE UPS:
1. IF THE UPS IS ON PRESS THE ON/OFF BUTTON FOR 1 SECOND
2. DISCONNECT THE UPS FROM THE AC POWER OUTLET
3. TO DEENERGIZE THE UPS COMPLETELY, DISCONNECT THE BATTERY.
(SEE SECTION 6 FOR INSTRUCTIONS)
CAUTION! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK IN CONDI-
TIONS WHERE LOAD EQUIPMENT GROUNDING CANNOT BE VERIFIED, DISCON-
NECT THE UPS FROM THE AC POWER OUTLET BEFORE INSTALLING A COM-
PUTER INTERFACE CABLE. RECONNECT THE POWER CORD ONLY AFTER ALL
SIGNALING CONNECTIONS ARE MADE.
CAUTION! CONNECT THE UPS TO A TWO POLE, THREE WIRE GROUND-
ING AC POWER OUTLET. THE RECEPTACLE MUST BE CONNECTED TO APPROPRI-
ATE BRANCH PROTECTION (CIRCUIT BREAKER OR FUSE). CONNECTION TO ANY
OTHER TYPE OF RECEPTACLE MAY RESULT IN A SHOCK HAZARD AND VIOLATE
LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES

INSTALLATION PLACEMENT
Install the UPS in a temperature controlled environment that is free of conductive contami-
nants. Select a location which will provide good air circulation for the UPS at all times. Avoid
locations near heating devices, water or excessive humidity, or where the UPS is exposed
to direct sunlight. Route power cords so they cannot be walked on or damaged.
