For automatic shutdown and monitoring, connect the UPS to a PC via the USB port and install Eaton UPS Companion or rely on built-in OS power management integration.

Recommendations

Regularly test the battery using the UPS automatic test feature and replace batteries when the replacement alarm is triggered. Keep firmware and management software up to date and avoid connecting loads that exceed the 360 W rated output to ensure reliable backup performance.
