SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
This User Guide contains important instructions for your Patriot that must be followed during
installation and maintenance of the UPS and batteries.
The installation and use of this product must comply with all national, federal, state, municipal,
or local codes that apply. For assistance, call Best Power’s Worldwide Service or your local Best
Power office.
If the Patriot unit has been damaged during shipment, call your vendor immediately.
If the Patriot unit is stored, the batteries should be recharged every 6 months. If stored above
25
°
Celsius (77° Fahrenheit), recharge the batteries more often.
CAUTION!
Whenever the unit’s On/Off switch is “On,” there may be dangerous voltage present at the
unit’s outlets. This is true because the unit’s battery supplies power even if the unit is not
plugged into the wall outlet. The unit contains dangerous voltages.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, install in a temperature-controlled and humidity-
controlled indoor area free of conductive contaminants.
The power supply cord is intended to serve as the disconnect device. The socket-outlet shall
be near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
With the exception of the user-replaceable battery, all servicing of this equipment must be
performed by qualified service personnel.
Before maintenance or repair, all connections must be removed. Before maintenance, repair,
or shipment, the unit must be completely switched off and unplugged or disconnected.
