1.3 Safety Notes

WARNING: Read the following information carefully! Disregard of these safety notes may endanger your life and health as well as the functioning of your equipment and the safety of your data.

WARNING: This equipment services power from more than one source. The output receptacles may have voltage even when the unit is unplugged.

UPSs present a different safety issue than most electrical equipment because unplugging the UPS puts it into backup mode. Unplugging the UPS does not remove the electrical charge. To ensure that the UPS is off, push BYPASS (for a minimum of 1 second) before unplugging the UPS from the mains.

CAUTION: Operating this equipment without proper grounding may present a risk of electrical shock.

Do not use AC adaptors with only two conductors to connect the input line cord to the wall socket as this will not connect the earth ground to the equipment.

WARNING: Dangerous voltages are present within this unit! There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Any repairs or modifications by the user may result in out-of-warranty repair charges, unsafe electrical conditions, or violation of electrical code.

This device complies with the relevant safety regulations for uninterruptible power supplies for use in a controlled office environment. If you have any questions, please contact Chloride Technical Service at 1- 800-879-5011.
