2.5 RECYCLING THE UPS AT THE END OF SERVICE LIFE
The batteries contain lead, which is a harmful substance for the environment.
Proper disposal or recycling of the batteries is required. Refer to your local codes for
disposal requirements!
GE, in compliance with environment protection recommends that the UPS equipment, at the end of its
service life, must be recycled conforming to the local applicable regulations.
3 TROUBLESHOOTING

determine whether the problem is caused by the unit itself or by its environment. Subsequently check the thermal circuit
breaker: it may be tripped. If so: reset it and be sure that the UPS is not overloaded.
