If theatmosphere is very dusty, clean the outside of the system with a vacuum cleaner. For full battery life, keep theequipment at an ambient temperature of 25 °C (77 °F).If the UPS requires any type of transportation, verify that the UPS is disconnected and turned off. The batteriesare rated for a 3-5 year service life.
