MAINTENANCE AND
BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Precaution

Although the UPS is designed and
manufactured to ensure personal
safety, improper use can result in
electrical shock or fire. To ensure
safety, observe the following
precautions:

• Turn o and unplug the UPS
before cleaning it.

• Clean the UPS with a dry cloth.
Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners.

• Never block or insert any
objects into the UPS ventilation
holes or openings.

• Do not place the UPS power
cord where it might be
damaged.

Battery Charging

The batteries are valve-regulated,
non-spillable, lead acid and should
be kept charged to attain their
design life. The UPS charges the
batteries continuously when it is
connected to the utility input
power. If the UPS will be stored for
a long time, we recommend
connecting the UPS to input power
for at least 24 hours every four to
six months to ensure full recharge
of the batteries.
