Service
If the UPS requires service do not return it to the dealer. Follow these steps:
1. Review the problems discussed in Troubleshooting to eliminate common problems.
2. If the problem persists, contact APC Customer Service through the APC web site, www.apc.com/support.
& Note the model number of the UPS, the serial number, and the date purchased. If you call APC Cus-
tomer Service, a technician will ask you to describe the problem and attempt to solve it over the phone.
If this is not possible, the technician will issue a Returned Material Authorization Number (RMA#).
& If the UPS is under warranty, repairs are free.
3. Pack the UPS in its original packaging. If this is not available, refer to www.apc.com/support for informa-
tion about obtaining a new set.

sustained in transit is not covered under warranty.

Transportation (DOT) regulations. The battery module(s) may remain in the UPS; it does not have
