3.1Receivinginspection

Once the UPS has been removed from its shipping container, it should be inspected for damage that may have occurred while in transit. Immediately notify the carrier and place of purchase if any damage is found. Two output jumper cords are provided with the UPS. The packing materials are recyclable. Save for reuse or disposed of them properly.

3.2Placement

The UPS may be installed in any protected environment. The location should provide adequate air flow around the unit, in an atmosphere free from excessive dust, corrosive fumes or conductive contaminants. Do not operate the UPS in an environment where the ambient temperature or humidity is outside the limits given in the Specifications section of this manual.

3.3Loadtypes

The UPS is designed to power all modern computer loads and associated peripheral devices such as monitors, modems, cartridge tape drives, external floppy drives, etc. The UPS is not rated to power life support equipment (as described on the rear cover of this manual).

Caution: The output waveform of this UPS is a sine wave approximation suitable for use with modern computer power supplies. Other load types may malfunction. In particular,
