The UPS contains batteries. The load outlets may be electrically live, even when the UPS is disconnected from the utility.
The UPS contains potentially hazardous voltages. Do not open the unit; there are no user serviceable parts inside.
All maintenance and service work, except replacement of the batteries, should be performed by qualified service personnel.
After switching UPS unit OFF, wait two (2) minutes for the DC capacitors to discharge. Lethally high voltage may remain
at the terminals of the electrolytic capacitors.
