SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY)
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
The batteries in this Battery Pack are recyclable. Dispose of
the batteries properly. The batteries contain lead and pose a
hazard to the environment and human health if not disposed of
properly. Refer to local codes for proper disposal requirements
or return the battery to the supplier.
The battery system can still present a risk of electrical shock. These batteries
produce sufficient current to burn wire or tools very rapidly, producing molten
metal. Observe these precautions when replacing the batteries:
1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
2. Use hand tools with insulated handles.
3. Wear protective eye gear (goggles), rubber gloves and boots.
4. Do not lay tools or other metal parts on top of batteries.
5. Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting the
battery terminals.
6. Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If the battery is, remove
the source of the grounding. Contact with any part of a grounded battery
can result in an electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock will be re-
duced, if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.
These Battery Packs have an easy to replace hot-swappable batteries. Please
read all of the WARNINGS and CAUTIONS before attempting to service the
batteries. Typical battery life is 3 to 5 years. Environmental factors do affect
battery life. High temperatures, poor utility power, and frequent, short duration
discharges have a negative impact on battery life.
NOTE:
If there is a power
interruption while replacing the hot-swappable batteries, with the UPS on, the
load will not be backed up.
