partment can rapidly assist you.
CAUTION! This Battery Pack series is ONLYintended to be installed in an
indoor temperature controlled environment that is free of conductive contami-
nants. This Battery Pack series is not for use in a computer room as defined
in the Standard for the Protection of Electronic Computer/Data Processing
EquipmentANSI/NFPA75. Selecta location which will providegoodair circu-
lation for the Battery Pack and UPS at all times.
CAUTION! Themaximum ambientoperating temperaturefor thisBattery Pack
series is 40°C (“0 ~ 40°C” for Ambient Operation).
Theexternal ventsandopenings onthe Battery Packare provided forven-
tilation. To ensure reliable operation of the UPS and to protect the UPS
from overheating, these vents and openings must not be blocked or cov-
ered. Do not insert any object into any of the vents or openings that may
hinderthe ventilation.
Install the Battery Pack in a well ventilated area, away from excess mois-
ture,heat, dust, flammable gasor explosives.
Leave adequate space (at least 15cm) around all sides of the Battery
Pack for proper ventilation.
Do not mount the Battery Pack with its front or rear panel facing down at
any angle.
Before usage, you must allow the Battery Pack to adjust to room temper-
ature (20°C~25°C or 68°F~77°F) for at least one hour to avoid moisture
condensing inside the UPS.

CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. The batteries may explode.
The batteries in this Battery Pack are recyclable. Dispose of the batteries
properly. The batteries contain lead and pose a hazard to the environment
and human health if not disposed of properly. Refer to local codes for proper
disposal requirements or return the battery to the supplier.
CAUTION: Althoughbattery systemvoltagesare only24VDC, 36VDC,48VDC
and 72VDC the battery system can still present a risk of electrical shock.
These batteries produce sufficient current to burn wire or tools very rapidly,
producing molten metal. Observe these precautions when replacing the bat-
teries:
1.Remove watches, rings, or other metalobjects.
2.Use hand tools withinsulated handles.
3. Wear protective eye gear (goggles), rubber gloves and boots.
4. Do not lay tools or other metal parts on top of batteries.
5. Disconnect the charging source prior to connecting or disconnecting the
battery terminals.
6. Determine if the battery is inadvertently grounded. If the battery is, remove
the source of the grounding. Contact with any part of a grounded battery
can result in an electrical shock. The likelihood of such shock will be reduc-
ed, if such grounds are removed during installation and maintenance.
