common problems.

Note the model number of the UPS, the serial number located on the back of the unit, and the
date purchased. If you call APC Customer Support, a technician will ask you to describe the
problem and attempt to solve it over the phone. If this is not possible, the technician will
issue a Returned Material Authorization Number (RMA#).
If the UPS is under warranty, repairs are free.
Procedures for servicing or returning products may vary internationally. Refer to the APC
Web site for country specific instructions.
