Remote panel operation
The LCD panel can be removed from the base and placed in a location that is easier to view. Follow the steps below to remove
the remote panel. The distance between the remote panel and the base cannot exceed 20 ft. (6 m).
An NiMH battery is installed on the back of remote panel. Once the remote panel is installed on the base unit, it charges the
battery automatically. When the battery capacity is low, the
icon flashes to remind you to charge the remote panel.
Under normal conditions, the original battery in your UPS will last several years. Battery replacement should only be performed
by qualified service personnel. Refer to
