• If the "OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL" LED remains lit red and the alarm continues to
sound after the test, the UPS's outlets are overloaded. To clear the overload,
unplug some of your equipment and run the self-test repeatedly until the
"OUTPUT LOAD LEVEL" LED is no longer lit red and the alarm is no longer
sounding.
CAUTION! Any overload that is not corrected by the user immediately
following a self-test may cause the UPS to shut down and cease
supplying output power in the event of a blackout or brownout.
• If the "BATTERY WARNING" LED remains lit and the alarm continues to
sound after the test, the UPS batteries need to be recharged or replaced.
Allow the UPS to recharge continuously for 12 hours, and repeat the self-
test. If the LED remains lit, contact Tripp Lite for service. If your UPS requires
battery replacement, visit www.tripplite.com to locate the specific Tripp Lite
