I can't be the only one with this issue and can't find an alternative.
Advice? Different vendor ?
I've got a few of these home-office-sized UPS 350VA, 500VA from APC and
when I lose power at the house, I CANNOT turn off the #$%'ing beeping
noise ! There is ONE in the bedroom that I would want to wake me up
( CPAC machine), and I'd then silence it. I asked a few months ago at
APC website 'how to disable?' - no response. I'd like to be able to go
back to bed without hearing the 'no power alarm' beep every 20 seconds
from each UPS until the batteries die ( from BEEPING !). I would like
to have no beep at all from the others ( in Living room for
tuner/tv/etc, one for each pc etc.)
I want to avoid roaming the house in the dark to unplug each UPS. It
makes no sense to me that the ONLY way to go back to bed is to UNLUG
everything - kinda defeats the whole reason for BUYING one doesn't it
?! If I should lose power, I want the PC UPS to give me enough time to
power down gracefully - quietly. The one for the TV/Tuner is just so
that I don't have to reprogram everything after power outage.
I used to have a pro series APC SU600 for main PC that had a 'push here
to silence the alarm' button and I assumed that all UPS would have it.
I'm checking computer stores online - Cyberpower seems same way - site
mentions alarm but not that you can turn it off.
Anyone have a reasonably priced UPS that you can disable the beeping ?
Thanks

Doesn't the Power button on the front panel turn off
everything...including the beep"
I have a 350, 100 and a 1200 and the power button kills all of them
