:
Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock or burn from high short circuit
current. Observe proper precautions.
:
Proper disposal of batteries is required. Refer to your local codes for disposal
requirements.
:
This UPS contains its own energy source (batteries). The output receptacles may
carry live voltage even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.
:
Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries may explode when exposed to flame.
:
Never open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to the skin and
eyes, and may be extremely toxic.
:
Use only the power supply cord provided with this UPS. The power cord is wired in
accordance with National Electrical Code (NEC) specifications. Be sure the wall
outlet to be used with the UPS is wired in accordance with these same
specifications in order to avoid damage to your equipment. Be sure that
overcurrent protection for the AC outlet is provided at the time of installation. Be
sure the input plug is completely inserted into the wall outlet. Use a single-phase,
three-wire, grounded AC outlet only.
:
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install this UPS in a temperature and
humidity controlled, indoor environment, free of conductive contaminants. Ambient
temperature must not exceed 104
F (40
C). Do not operate near water or
excessive humidity (95% max).
:
Do not remove or unplug the input cord when the UPS is turned on. This removes
the safety ground from the UPS and the equipment connected to the UPS.
