Storage and Service

Storage

First, turn the UPS system OFF by pressing the ON/OFF/TEST/MUTE button for 1 second (the
UPS will beep and the green ON/OFF light will cease to illuminate). Second, disconnect connected
equipment. Third, disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. If the UPS system will be stored for
an extended period of time, recharge the batteries completely once every three months by connecting
the UPS system to a live AC outlet and turning it on for 8 hours. If the UPS batteries are discharged for
an extended period of time, they may suffer 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
+1 773 869 1233. A service technician will ask for the UPS’s model number, serial number and
purchase date and will attempt to correct the problem over the phone.
3. If the problem requires service, the technician will issue you a Returned Material Authorization
(RMA) number, which is required for service. If you require packaging, the technician can arrange
to send you proper packaging. Securely pack the UPS to avoid damage during shipping. Do not use
Styrofoam beads for packaging. Any damages (direct, indirect, special, incidental or consequential)
to the UPS incurred during shipment to Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service center is not
covered under warranty. UPS Systems shipped to Tripp Lite or an authorized Tripp Lite service
center must have transportation charges prepaid. Mark the RMA number on the outside of the
package. If the UPS System is within the 2-year warranty period, enclose a copy of your sales
receipt. Return the UPS for service using an insured carrier to the address given to you by the
Tripp Lite service technician.
