Option Switches
A set of 4 switches, located on the rear panel, can be used to change how the UPS operates. For typical
applications, all switches are in the down position as shown below.
Switch 1

Regardless of the position of switch 1, the UPS will sound a loud continuous tone during low battery
conditions.
Switches #2 and #3
Switches #2 and #3 set the utility voltage value (transfer voltage) at which the UPS will switch to battery
power. If you know that your equipment will operate properly at any of the voltages less than 103 V shown in
the table, you can change to the corresponding switch positions. Changing the transfer voltage is desirable
when frequent line voltage excursions or line voltage distortion cause the UPS to use battery power too often.

Service
Note: If the UPS requires service, do not return it to the dealer! The following steps should be taken.
1. Consult the Troubleshooting section to eliminate common problems.
2. Verify that no circuit breakers are tripped. A tripped circuit breaker is the most common UPS problem!
3. If the problem persists, consult the APC Worldwide Web site (www.apc.com) or call customer service.
Record the model number of the UPS, the serial number, and the date purchased. Be prepared to
troubleshoot the problem over the telephone with a technician If this is not successful, the technician
will issue a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA#) and a shipping address.
If the UPS is under warranty, repairs are free. If not, there is a repair charge.
4. Pack the UPS in its original packaging. If the original packing is not available, ask customer service about
obtaining a new set. Pack the UPS properly to avoid damage in transit.
Note: Never use Styrofoam beads for packaging. Damage sustained in transit is not covered
under warranty (insuring the package for full value is recommended).
5. Write the RMA# on the outside of the package.
6. Return the UPS by insured, prepaid carrier to the address given to you by customer service.
