WARNING: RiskofElectrical Shock. Hazardous livepartsinside
these Battery Packs are energized from the battery.
CAUTION! Tode-energizethe BatteryPack:
1. If the UPS is on press and release the Off/On button.
2. Disconnect the UPS from the wall outlet.
3. Turnoff the DC breaker onthe rear panel of theBattery Pack.
4. Disconnect the battery cable from the rear panel of the UPS.
5. To de-energizetheBattery Pack completely,disconnect the bat-
teries.
CAUTION! These Battery Packs are intended to be install in a
temperature controlled environment that is free of conductive con-
taminants. Selectalocation which will providegoodaircirculationfor
the Battery Pack and UPS at all times.
CAUTION! To reducethe risk ofelectrical shockwith the installa-
tion of these Battery Packs, with the UPS equipment and the con-
nected equipment, the user must ensure that the combined sum of
theAC leakage current does not exceed 3.5mA.

INSTALLATION PLACEMENT
These Battery Packs are only intended to be install in an indoor temperature
controlledenvironmentthat is freeofconductivecontaminants. DO NOT oper-
ate the Battery Pack in: extremely dusty and/or unclean areas, locations near
heating devices, water or excessive humidity, or where the Battery Pack is
exposedto direct sunlight. Selecta location, whichwill provide goodair circu-
lation for the Battery Pack at all times. Route power cords so they cannot be
walked on or damaged. Typical battery life is 3 to 5 years. Environmental
factors do affect battery life. High temperatures, and frequent, short duration
dischargeshave a negativeimpacton battery life.

Packs are in the Off position. CAUTION: If the Battery Pack's DC circuit
breaker is in the On position, the battery voltage will be present at the open
end of the Battery Pack's external battery cable and external battery con-
nector.
3. Turn the UPS off and disconnect the UPS's input power cord from theAC
wall outlet.
4. RemovetheExternalBatteryConnectorcoverfromtheUPS'srearpanel and
the additional Battery Packs.
5. Verify, before plugging the external battery cable into the UPS's external
battery connector or the Battery Pack's external connector that they mate
red to red and black to black.
6. Connect the external battery cable from the first Battery Pack to the exter-
nal battery connector on the UPS.
7. Connectthe externalbatterycable fromthe second BatteryPack to theex-
ternal battery connector on the first Battery Pack.
8. TurnALL of the DC circuit breakers on the rear panel of the Battery Packs
to the On position.
