NOTICE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits

for a Class A 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 installation. 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.

n Shielded communications interface cables must be used with this product

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 it's 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 MA TERIALS!

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.

This uninterruptible power source contains potentially hazardous voltages. DO
NOT attempt to disassemble the unit. This UPS contains no user serviceable
parts. Repairs and battery replacement must be performed by AUTHORIZED
SERVICE PERSONNEL ONL Y .

CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electrical shock in conditions where load

equipment grounding cannot be verified, disconnect the UPS from the AC power
outlet before installing a computer interface cable. Reconnect the power cord
only after all signaling connections are made.

CAUTION! Connect the UPS to a two pole, three wire grounding AC

power outlet. The receptacle must be connected to appropriate branch protection
(circuit breaker or fuse). Connection to any other type of receptacle may result in
a shock hazard and violate local electrical codes

CAUTION! "High Leakage Current". The UPSs must be connected to the

appropiate building ground.
