IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS!
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
This manual contains important instructions for your Patriot SMT.
CAUTION!
Whenever the unit’s On/Off switch is on, there may be dangerous voltage present at
the unit’s outlets. This is true because the unit’s battery supplies power even if the
unit is not plugged into the wall outlet.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, install in a temperature-controlled and humidity-
controlled indoor area free of conductive contaminants.
The power supply cord is intended to serve as the disconnect device. The socket-outlet
shall be near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
All standby power supply units contain dangerous voltages.
Before maintenance or repair, all connections must be removed. Before maintenance,
repair, or shipment, the unit must be completely switched off and unplugged or
disconnected.
The installation and use of this product must comply with all national, federal, state,
municipal, or local codes that apply. For assistance, call your local Best Power office.
Refer to your Patriot Safety Information Manual (ILS-1080) for additional safety
instructions.
If the Patriot unit has been damaged during shipment, call your vendor immediately.
