CAUTION!

Heavy equipment. To prevent personal injury or equipment damage, use caution when handling and transporting UPS cabinet and equipment.

2.Compare the shipment with the bill of lading. Report any missing items to the carrier and to APC immediately.

3.Remove the screws on the bottom part of the packaging side plates.

4.Remove the packing materials from the unit.

5.Verify compliance between type label on reverse side of UPS front door and system ordered. Check input and output voltage.

6.Unbolt the unit from the pallet.

7.Remove the unit from the pallet with a forklift.

8.Use a forklift or hand truck to transport the unit to the installation or storage site. Study the footprint to decide how to move the UPS through doorways and into position.

PLEASE RECYCLE

The shipping materials are recyclable. Please save for later use or dispose of them appropriately.

2.2Storing the UPS and Batteries

Store the APC BC300 Series UPS between -4 and 104° F (-20 and 40° C). However, APC recommends that the unit and batteries be stored between 59 and 77° F (15 and 25° C). This temperature range, or cooler, allows batteries a longer shelf life. Recharge stored batteries every 90 to 120 days.
