Failure of a battery self-test.
The uninterruptible power supply emits short beeps for one minute and the
replace battery LED illuminates. The uninterruptible power supply repeats
the alarm every five hours. Perform the self-test procedure after the battery
has charged for 24 hours to confirm the replace battery condition. The
alarm stops and the LED clears if the battery passes the self-test.
