  3. Secure the Boards: Use the provided 4 x M2.5 x 5mm screws to fix the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W onto the X306 V1.5 board.
  4. Installare la batteria 18650: Inserisci un 3.7V 18650 battery (NOT included) into the battery holder. Importante: Always double-check the polarity of the battery's connector to ensure '+' aligns with '+' and '-' aligns with '-'. Using a battery with a built-in protection circuit is not recommended as the UPS Shield has its own protection function.

  6. Optional: Install into X306-C1 Case: If using the X306-C1 case, first remove the 18650 battery from the X306 board. Then, push the assembled X306 kit into the X306-C1 case, aligning it with the bottom mounting holes. Fix it by 4pcs KM2.5x5mm screws (these screws come with the X306-C1 accessories). Finally, put the top cover and fix it by 4pcs KM2.5x5mm screws.
