IMPORTANT: A portion of the self-test requires battery power; the self-test cannot be
initiated if the batteries are less than 90% charged.

During the self-test, it is normal for the UPS to turn on individual LEDs
momentarily; however, if an alarm condition is detected, the UPS will turn on
the appropriate red LED and may sound an audio alarm.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock from earth conductor leakage
current, use the self-test procedure to check the UPS batteries (rather than
unplugging the UPS).

For the meaning of individual LEDs, see “Front Panel LEDs in the
Standby and Operate Modes,” in this chapter.

For information on what to do if the self-test detects a problem, see
Chapter 6, “Troubleshooting.”
