SERVICE 

If the UPS requires service follow these steps: 
1. Review the problems discussed in the 

Troubleshooting 

section of this manual to eliminate

common problems. 
2. Verify that no circuit breakers are tripped. A tripped circuit breaker is the most common
UPS problem. 
3. If the problem persists, contact Customer Service through the web site, .
Note the model number of the UPS, the serial number. If you call Customer Service, a 
technician will ask you to describe the problem and try to solve it over the phone, if possible. 
If this is not possible, the technician will issue a Returned Material Authorization Number 
(RMA#).  
If the UPS is under warranty, repairs are free. If not, there is a repair charge.  

Prepare the UPS for shipment to the repair center 

Pack the UPS in its original packaging or other suitable packaging. 

Pack the UPS properly to avoid damage in transit. Never use Styrofoam beads for packaging. 

Damage sustained in transit is not covered under warranty.  

Mark the RMA# on the outside of the package.  

Return the UPS by insured, prepaid carrier to the address given to you by Customer Service.  

Disconnect the battery before shipping in compliance with U.S. Department of Transportation 

(DOT) regulations. The battery may remain in the UPS; it does not have to be removed.
