IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS)

This manual contains important safety instruc-
tions. Please read and follow all instructions
carefully during installation and operation of UPS.
Read this manual thoroughly before attempting to
unpack, install, or operate.
CAUTION! To prevent the risk of fire or electric
shock, install in a temperature and humidity con-
trolled indoor area, free of conductive contami-
nants. (Please see specifications for acceptable
temperature and humidity range).
CAUTION! To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not remove the cover. Authorized Service
Personnel must perform repairs and mainte-
nance. No user serviceable parts inside.
CAUTION! Hazardous live parts inside can be
energized by the battery even when the AC input
power is disconnected.
CAUTION! UPS must be connected to an AC
power outlet with fuse or circuit breaker protec-
tion. Do not plug into an AC wall outlet that is not

grounded. If you need to de-energize this equip-
ment, turn off and unplug the UPS.
CAUTION! To avoid electrical shock, turn off the
UPS and unplug it from the AC power source
before servicing the battery or installing a com-
puter component.
DO NOT USE FOR MEDICAL OR LIFE SUP-
PORT EQUIPMENT! MINUTEMAN UPS does
not sell products for life support or medical appli-
cations. DO NOT use in any circumstance that
would affect operation or safety of any life sup-
port equipment or with any medical applications
or patient care.
DO NOT USE WITH OR NEAR AQUARIUMS!
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
use with or near an aquarium. Condensation
from the aquarium can cause the UPS to shor

out.
