Storage and Service
Storage
To avoid battery drain, all connected equipment should be turned off and disconnected from the UPS. Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST switch for one second. Your UPS will be completely turned off (deactivated), and will be ready for storage. If you plan on storing your UPS for an extended period, fully recharge the UPS batteries every three months. Plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, turn it on by pressing and holding the ON/OFF/TEST switch for one second, and allow the batteries to recharge for 8 to 12 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for a long period of time, they will suffer a permanent loss of capacity.
Service
Before returning your UPS for service, follow these steps: 1. Review the installation and operation instructions in this manual to ensure that the service problem does not originate from a misreading of the instructions. 2. If the problem continues, do not contact or return the UPS to the dealer. Instead, call Tripp Lite at (773)
