CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DAMAGE TO THE UNIT:
• Although this unit contains a non-spillable battery, it is recommended that unit be kept upright during storage, use and
recharging. To avoid possible damage that may shorten the unit’s working life, protect it from direct sunlight, direct heat
and/or moisture.
• The unit will not work when connected to any AC load that has its neutral conductor connected to ground. Such loads include
AC distribution wiring and house wiring.
• Do not plug surge-protected power bars into the unit’s 120V AC outlets.
• Do not connect an AC power source to the 120V AC outlets.
• Do not connect the unit’s AC power cord to its 120V AC outlets.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF DAMAGING RECHARGEABLE APPLIANCES:
Most rechargeable battery-operated appliances use a separate charger or transformer that plugs directly into an AC receptacle
and produces a low voltage charging output. However, some chargers for rechargeable batteries can be damaged if connected
to this unit.
• Do not use small battery-operated appliances like flashlights, razors and night lights that can be plugged directly into an AC
receptacle to recharge with this unit.
• Do not use this unit with chargers for battery packs used in hand power tools displaying a warning label stating that
dangerous voltages are present at the battery terminals.
Note: When this unit is supplying backup power from its batteries, its output is a non-sinusoidal modified sine wave, which is
different from pure sine wave utility-supplied electricity. Certain types of load equipment may be damaged. If you are
unsure about using your rechargeable appliance with this unit, contact the appliance manufacturer to determine its
compatibility with the modified sine wave (non-sinusoidal) AC wave form.
IMPORTANT:
• This unit is delivered in a partially charged state. Charge unit for a full 24 hours before using the unit’s internal backup power
for the first time.
• The unit can be turned ON and connected to an AC wall outlet continuously to maintain full internal battery charge. Once the
unit is fully charged, the built-in charger will go into flow (stand-by) mode and will resume charging to top off the battery
whenever the battery voltage drops (approximately 85% of battery capacity).
