The UPS equipment contains an energy accumulator (batteries). This means
that the output of the UPS can be live even if it is not connected on the line
side.
To completely switch off the UPS, first press and hold the "ON/OFF" button for
more than 3 seconds, wait until the UPS switches off and only then disconnect
the equipment from the mains (remove input fuse or disconnect mains supply
cable from the equipment).
Make sure that no fluids or foreign bodies enter the UPS.
3.6 Handling batteries
Warning – danger of electric shocks and burns.
Batteries can cause electric shocks and are capable of producing high short-
circuit currents which can also inflict burns.
Unauthorized persons must be kept away from batteries.
Do not place batteries against heat sources and do not throw them into a fire.
They might explode!
Do not open or destroy batteries. The electrolyte released is extremely
dangerous to people and the environment (danger of chemical burning to skin
and eyes, toxic).
Defective batteries must be disposed of in an environmentally-friendly manner.
Never throw batteries into the household refuse.
The local waste disposal regulations must be observed.
3.7 Maintenance, servicing and faults

disconnected from the supply.
Work on batteries may only be performed and monitored by personnel with
appropriate technical knowledge about the required precautions.
