■To reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect the Uninterruptible Power Source from the mains before installing a computer interface signal cable (when used). Reconnect the power cord only after all signalling interconnections have been made.

■Connect the Uninterruptible Power Source to a two-pole, three-wire grounding mains receptacle. The receptacle must be connected to appropriate branch protection (fuse or circuit breaker). Connection to any other type of receptacle may result in a shock hazard and may violate local electrical codes.

■This Uninterruptible Power Source has an internal energy source (the battery) that cannot be de-energized by the user. The output may be energized when the unit is not connected to a mains supply.

■To properly de-energize the Uninterruptible Power Source in an emergency, move the I/O switch to the O (off) position and disconnect the power cord from the mains.

■The Protective Earth conductor of this UPS carries the Leakage Current from the load devices (computer equipment). This UPS generates approximately 0.75 mA of leakage current. To ensure a safe limit of 3.5 mA, the total leakage current of the load devices should be limited to 2.75 mA. If you are unsure of the leakage current from the load devices, ensure that this product is plugged into a 3-wire receptacle that has a reliable (low impedance) Protective Earth connection to provide a safe path for the leakagecurrent,andreplacethepowercordtotheUPSwithonethathasalockingtype plug (IEC 309) rated a minimum of 10A. This powercord may require the services of a professional electrician for the installation of the matching wall receptacle.
