Important Safety Instructions
UPS Location Warnings
Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, conductive contaminants, dust or direct
sunlight.
For best performance, keep the indoor temperature between 32º F and 104º F (0º C and 40º C).
Leave adequate space around all sides of the UPS for proper ventilation.
UPS Connection Warnings
Connect your UPS directly to a properly grounded AC power outlet. Do not plug the UPS into itself;
this will damage the UPS.
Do not modify the UPS’s plug, and do not use an adapter that would eliminate the UPS’s ground
connection.
Do not use extension cords to connect the UPS to an AC outlet. Your warranty will be voided if anything
other than Tripp Lite surge suppressors are used to connect your UPS to an outlet.
If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide clean,
filtered, computer-grade output.
Equipment Connection Warnings
Use of this equipment in life support applications where failure of this equipment can reasonably be expected to
cause the failure of the life support equipment or to significantly affect its safety or effectiveness is not recommended.
Do not use this equipment in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, oxygen or nitrous oxide.
Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This might damage the
UPS and will void the surge suppressor and UPS warranties.
Battery Warnings

serviceable parts inside.
Batteries can present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current. Observe proper
precautions. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. Do not open the UPS or batteries. Do not short or
bridge the battery terminals with any object. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery
replacement. Use tools with insulated handles. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the UPS. Battery

batteries (sealed Lead-Acid). The batteries are recyclable. Refer to your local codes for disposal
