CAUTION – A battery can present a risk of electrical shock and high short
circuit current. The following precautions should be observed before replacing
the batteries:
- It is not necessary to turn off and disconnect the UPS from the utility power
prior to opening the battery replacement door; however, it is your option.
The UPStation GXT batteries can be replaced without turning off the UPS
or your connected equipment.
- Remove rings, watches, and other metal objects.
- Use a Phillips (cross head) screwdriver with insulated grips.
- Do not lay tools or other metal objects on top of the batteries.
- If the battery replacement kit is damaged in any way or shows signs of
leakage, contact your dealer immediately.
- Do not dispose of batteries in a fire, the batteries may explode.
- If you feel unqualified to replace the batteries, do not open the battery
door. Call Liebert Technical Support (LTS). World Wide Technical
Support numbers are located at the end of this section.
