Obtaining New Batteries

New batteries may be required within 30 to 60 days when the Alarm LED is solid red and the

batteries for the UPS when this occurs.

kit part number is 228288-001

Replacing the Batteries

The batteries in the UPS are hot-swappable. Batteries may be replaced (hot-swapped) without
powering off the UPS if the UPS is not supplying battery power to devices. LED 1 will be

There is a danger of explosion and risk of personal injury if the batteries are incorrectly
replaced or mistreated. Replacement is to be done by a Compaq authorized service provider
