Important Safety Instructions

UPS Location Warnings
• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, dust or direct sunlight.
• For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between between 32º F and 104º F
(0º C and 40º C).
• Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
UPS Connection Warnings
• Connect your UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the
UPS into itself; this will damage the UPS.
• Do not modify the UPS’s plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the UPS’s
ground connection.
• Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet. Your warranty will be
voided if anything other than Tripp Lite surge suppressors are used to connect your UPS
to an outlet.
• If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must
provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.
Equipment Connection Warnings
• Do not use Tripp Lite UPS Systems for life-support appliances in which a malfunction
or failure of a Tripp Lite UPS System could cause failure or significantly alter the
performance of a life-support device.
• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This
may damage the UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.

• Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS for any reason.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

UPS or batteries. Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object. Unplug
and turn off the UPS before performing battery replacement. Use tools with insulated
handles. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS. Battery replacement should
be performed only by authorized service personnel using the same number and type of
batteries (Sealed Lead-Acid). The batteries are recyclable. Refer to your local codes for
disposal requirements or in the USA only call 1-800-SAV-LEAD or 1-800-8-BATTERY
(1-800-822-8837) or visit www.rbrc.com for recycling information. Tripp Lite offers a

plugged in. See Basic Operation to understand
the results of its self-test.

Your UPS is designed to support only computer equipment. You will overload your UPS
if you connect high power draw equipment
such as household appliances or laser printers

designed for laser printers and other heavydraw devices.

between the UPS (“ ” LED lit) and the

your location:

• Leave the UPS in the UPS mode at all times.
All other countries:

mode when you are not
using connected
equipment.
(WARNING! When set to “CHARGE ONLY,” the UPS
will not provide battery backup during a blackout
or brownout)
