When replacing the batteries, the following must be observed: Only ever use identical maintenance-free sealed lead batteries with the same data as the original batteries.

Danger! Explosive!

Never throw batteries into open fire.

Never open or damage batteries. (Electrolyte may leak out and damage skin and eyes. It may be toxic!)

Batteries can cause electric shocks and high short-circuit currents.

Take the following safety precautions when working with the batteries:

Take off watches, rings and other metallic objects!

Always use tools with insulated handles!

Do not switch loads on and off using the UPS i main switch. Do not use multiple outlet adapters with a central on/off switch, in order to avoid peak

inrush currents.

Switch OFF the UPS using its main switch “OFF” if you do not intend to use it for some time. PROTECT C. must be switched off every evening if the electricity supply in your company is switched off every night. Otherwise, the battery will be discharged (assumed power failure). Frequent and complete discharging of the battery leads to a shorter service life of the battery and should therefore be avoided!

For personal safety reasons, never switch on the main switch when the mains connector of PROTECT C. is disconnected!
