The following are examples of s mbols used on the product to alert ou to important information:
Danger: Dangerous voltage levels are present within the UPS. The UPS has an internal
power source (the battery). Consequently, the power outlets may be energized even if the
UPS is disconnected from the C power source.
Important instructions that must always be followed.
CAUTION: Batteries present a risk of energy or electric shock or burn from high short circuit
currents. Observe proper precautions. Batteries may contain HIGH VOLT GE and CORROSIVE,
TOXIC, and EXPLOSIVE substances. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire, as they may explode.
This symbol indicates that you should not discard the UPS or the UPS batteries in the trash.
This product contains sealed, Lithium-ion batteries and must be disposed of properly. For
more information, contact your local recycling/reuse or hazardous waste center.
This symbol indicates that you should not discard waste electrical or electronic equipment
(WEEE) in the trash. For proper disposal, contact your local recycling/reuse or hazardous
waste center for more information.

• There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS.
• Changes or modifications not expressl approved b the part responsible for compliance can
void the user’s authorit to operate the equipment.
• Dangerous voltage levels are present within the UPS. Do not attempt to open the unit.
• Check that the indications on the rating plate correspond to our AC-powered s stem and to the
actual electrical consumption of all the equipment to be connected to the s stem.
• This t pe B uninterrupted power equipment with the batter alread installed b the supplier can
be operated and installed b the end user.
• For PLUGGABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall
be easil accessible.
• Connection to an other t pe of receptacle other than a two-pole, three-wire grounded receptacle
ma result in shock hazards as well as violate local electrical codes.
• Never install the s stem near liquids or in an excessivel damp environment. This equipment
should onl be used in a dr , indoor environment.
• During the installation of this equipment, it should be assumed that the sum of the leakage
currents of the UPS and the connected loads does not exceed 3.5 mA.
• This unit is intended for installation in a controlled environment (temperature-controlled, indoor
area free of conductive contaminants). Avoid installing the UPS in locations with standing or
running water or excessive humidit .
• Connection to an other t pe of receptacle other than a two-pole, three-wire grounded receptacle
ma result in shock hazards as well as violate local electrical codes.

• Ensure that the s stem is free of an contaminants, the surrounding area is free of debris, and
there are no foreign substances within the s stem.
• In the event of an emergenc , press the "OFF" button and disconnect the power cord from the AC
power suppl to properl disable the UPS.
• Never block the cooling vents of the s stem.
• Do not allow an liquids to enter the UPS. Do not place beverages or an other liquid-containing
vessels on or near the unit.
• Never expose the s stem to direct sunlight or to a heat source.
• Store the s stem in a dr place before installing, if storage is required.
• Do not plug the UPS input into its own output.
• Do not attach a power strip or surge suppressor to the UPS.
• Do not attach non-computer-related items, such as medical equipment, life-support equipment,
microwave ovens, or vacuum cleaners, to a UPS.
• Unplug the UPS prior to cleaning, and do not use liquid or spra detergent.
• To reduce the risk of overheating the UPS, do not cover the unit’s cooling vents and avoid
exposing the UPS to direct sunlight or installing the unit near heat-emitting appliances such as
space heaters or furnaces.
