Important Safety Instructions SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the installation, operation and storage of this product. Failure to heed these warnings may affect the warranty. 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. • Only set the UPS upright on a sturdy flat surface. Do not block fans or ventilation holes, as this will seriously inhibit the unit's internal cooling and cause product damage not covered under warranty. 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. • If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output. • The mains socket outlet that supplies the UPS should be easily accessible and located near the UPS.
