D A N G E R

This UPS contains LETHAL VOLTAGES. All repairs and service should be performed by AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY. There are NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS inside the UPS.

W A R N I N G

:This UPS contains its own energy source (batteries). The output receptacles may carry live voltage even when the UPS is not connected to an AC supply.

:For 200–240V models, the output receptacles may remain electrically live. If the input power source in your application is wired line-to-neutral (as in most European applications), the voltage to the output receptacles is 0V. With line-to-line input wiring, the voltage to the output receptacles is 100–120V (measured from line-to-ground or line-to-neutral, depending on the UPS wiring).

:Do not remove or unplug the input cord when the UPS is turned on. This removes the safety ground from the UPS and the equipment connected to the UPS.

:To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, install this UPS in a temperature and humidity controlled, indoor environment, free of conductive contaminants. Ambient temperature must not exceed 40•C (104•F). Do not operate near water or excessive humidity (95% max).

:To comply with international standards and wiring regulations, the total equipment connected to the output of this UPS must not have an earth leakage current greater than 3.5 milliamperes.
