CAUTION! Read and follow the IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS before servicing the battery.
Battery service should only be done by qualified professionals.
CAUTION! Use only the specified type and number of external batteries. Please see the technical
specifications for replacement batteries.
CAUTION! The battery may present a risk of electrical shock. Do not dispose of battery in a fire as it
may explode. Follow all local ordinances regarding proper disposal of batteries. Lead-acid batteries
should be recycled.
CAUTION! Do not open or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is harmful to skin and eyes and
may be toxic.
CAUTION! A battery can present a high risk of short circuit current and electrical shock.
Take the following precautions before replacing the battery:
1.
Remove all watches, rings or other metal objects.
2.
Only use tools with insulated handles.
3.
Do not lay tools or metal parts on top of battery or any terminals.

5.
Determine if the external battery is inadvertently grounded. If grounded, remove the source of
ground. CONTACT WITH GROUNDED BATTERY CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK!
DEFINITIONS FOR ILLUMINATED LCD INDICATORS
The LCD Display indicates a variety of EPS operational
conditions. All descriptions apply when the EPS is plugged
into an AC outlet and turned on or when the EPS is on
battery.
1.
INPUT VOLTAGE Meter: This meter measures the AC voltage that the EPS is receiving from the
utility wall outlet. The EPS is designed, through the use of automatic voltage regulation, to
continuously supply connected equipment with
complete power loss, severe brownout or over-voltage the EPS will rely on its
supply consistent
identify poor quality input power.
2.
OUTPUT VOLTAGE Meter: This meter measures, the AC voltage that the EPS is providing to the
computer. It displays normal line mode, AVR mode, and battery backup mode.
3.
NORMAL MODE Icon: This icon will illuminate when the EPS is working under normal conditions.
4.
ON BAT (On Battery) Icon: When a severe brownout or blackout, this icon appearing and an
alarm (two short beeps) activated indicate that the EPS is working via its batteries. Once the
batteries are running out of power, for a period of time, an alarm (two short beeps) will appear
continuously. If this occurs, it is recommended that save your files and turn off your equipment
manually as soon as possible.
REPLACING THE BATTERY
