Important Safety Instructions
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This manual contains instructions and warnings that should be followed during the
installation, operation and storage of all HP UPS models. Failure to heed these warnings
will void your warranty.
UPS Location Warnings
• Install your UPS indoors, away from excess moisture or heat, 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.
• If the UPS receives power from a motor-powered AC generator, the generator must
provide clean, filtered, computer-grade output.
Equipment Connection Warnings
• Do not use the UPS for life-support appliances in which a malfunction or failure of the
UPS could cause failure or significantly alter the performance of a life-support device.
• Do not connect surge suppressors or extension cords to the output of your UPS. This
may damage the UPS and will void the UPS warranty.
Battery Warnings
• Your UPS does not require routine maintenance. Do not open your UPS for any reason.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
• Battery replacement must be performed by qualified service personnel. Because the
batteries present a risk of electrical shock and burn from high short-circuit current,
observe proper precautions. Unplug and turn off the UPS before performing battery
replacement. Use tools with insulated handles, and replace the existing batteries with the
same number and type of new batteries (Sealed Lead-Acid). Do not open the batteries.
Do not short or bridge the battery terminals with any object.
• Batteries, battery packs and accumulators should not be disposed of together with the
general household waste. To forward them to recycling or proper disposal, use the public
collection system or return them to HP, an authorized HP Partner or their agents.
• Do not attempt to add external batteries.
