4. Collegamento dell'attrezzatura:
   • Connect your critical equipment (computers, monitors, network devices) to the UPS output receptacles.
   • Do not connect laser printers or strip heaters to the UPS output, as their high power draw can overload the unit.
5. Connessioni di comunicazione: Connect the USB or RS232 cable from the UPS to your computer for monitoring and automatic shutdown capabilities. Install the provided monitoring software (if applicable) on your computer.

7. Manutenzione

• Cura della batteria: To maintain optimal battery life, ensure the UPS is connected to AC power continuously. Avoid frequent deep discharges. Perform a battery calibration test (if available via software) periodically.
• Pulizia: Keep the UPS clean and free of dust. Use a dry cloth to wipe the exterior. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents. Ensure ventilation openings are clear.
• Sostituzione della batteria: Batteries are consumable items and will eventually require replacement. Refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for battery replacement procedures. This should only be performed by qualified service personnel.
• Magazzinaggio: If storing the UPS for an extended period, ensure it is fully charged, then disconnect it from AC power. Recharge the UPS every 3-6 months to prevent battery degradation.
