   HG>EV>Anyone else reading this, NOT turn their UPS OFF so the beeping stops?   
      
   HG>Nope, absolutely not! Do you mean that if the blackout happens in the   
   HG>middle of the night someone should get up to close down the UPS?   
      
     I would have the UPS on long enough to finish computer tasks, and shut   
   the computer down properly. Otherwise, you'd run down the battery in the   
   UPS, and it's take a good while to recharge it, if that's an option. I   
   don't know if the UPS batteries are "rechargable".   
      
   HG>Usually there is a dip switch on the rear panel where you can chose   
   HG>various parameters, among them BEEP ON/OFF.   
      
     I think there's one in the setting of my APC UPS..but I forget the   
   model number offhand (it isn't cheap in price). But, as noted, if   
   there's a chance of storms during the day or night (whether I'm here or   
   not), all computer work goes by the boards.
