Service 
If the UPS requires service do not return it to the dealer!   
Follow these steps:  
1. 
Review the problems discussed in Troubleshooting, page 20, to eliminate common problems. 
2. 
Verify that no circuit breakers are tripped.  A tripped circuit breaker is the mo st common UPS problem!  
3. 
If the problem persists, call customer service or visit the APC Internet Website (www.apcc.com). 
• 
Note the model number of the UPS, the serial number, and the date purchased.  A technician will ask you to 
describe the problem and try to solve it over the phone, if possible.  If this is not possible the technician will issue 
a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA#). 
• 
If the UPS is under warranty, repairs are free.  If not, there is a repair charge. 
4. 
Pack the UPS in its original packaging.  If the original packing is not available, ask customer service about obtaining a 
new set. 
Note: 
Pack the UPS properly to avoid damage in transit.  Never use Styrofoam beads for packaging.  Damage sustained in 
transit is not covered under warranty. 
5. 
Mark the RMA# on the outside of the package. 
6. 
Return the UPS by insured, prepaid carrier to the address given to you by Customer Service.
