U P S a n d B a t t e r y C a r e

For the best preventive maintenance, keep the area around the UPS clean and dust- free. If the atmosphere is very dusty, clean the outside of the system with a vacuum cleaner.

For full battery life, keep the UPS at an ambient temperature of 25oC.

Storing the UPS and Batteries

If you store the UPS for a long period, recharge the battery every 6 months by plugging the UPS into a power outlet. The batteries charge to 90% capacity in approximately 3 hours. However, it is recommended that the batteries charge for 24 hours after long- term storage.

Check the battery recharge date on the shipping carton label. If the date has expired and the batteries were never recharged, do not use the UPS. Contact your service representative.
