Storage and Service
Storage
To avoid battery drain, all connected equipment should be turned off and disconnected from the
UPS. Press and hold the ON/OFF/TEST switch for one second. Your UPS will be completely turned off
(deactivated), and will be ready for storage. If you plan on storing your UPS for an extended period,
fully recharge the UPS batteries every three months. Plug the UPS into a live AC outlet, turn it on by
pressing and holding the ON/OFF/TEST switch for one second, and allow the batteries to recharge
for 4 to 6 hours. If you leave your UPS batteries discharged for a long period of time, they will suffer a
permanent loss of capacity.
