    APC Back-UPS Connect BGE90M,120V, Network Backup with USB Charging ports

    • Just what I needed to keep my router and modem powered during outages without annoying alarm beeps
    • The UPS went dark as well and tapped out without a sound (no annoying alarms going off in this UPS which I like).Conclusion:Happy
    • The only way to silence the beeping is by removing the audible alarm unit off the circuit board
    • When I pluged it in it gave out a ear shattering, continuous alarm that only quit when I pulled the plug
    • My issues still stand: the plug configuration is inconvenient, and the alarm is LOUD (seriously, it's louder than any ups beeper I've heard.) as far as I know, there is no way to turn it off, which sucks
    • I wish you could disable the alarm
    • There is no way to turn off audible alarm on BGE70 unit thru any options APC offers - FACT
    • I find it unbelievable that APC's designers did not provide a way to turn off this alarm, and that they thought an alarm this loud made sense for a consumer product in the first place.

    • If your power supply is subject to even tiny fluctuations, this device will send out a loud, shrill alarm all hours of the day and night.
    • I had to take it apart and rip out the alarm.
    • I like that the alarm beeps ONCE during a power outage, and doesn't keep chiming away like most UPS's.
    • I can appreciate the logic boards quick voltage detection, but I can't live with the 2 second false alarm beeps.
    • Interestingly enough, the manual says it has an audible alarm when power is lost, which is something I did not want, but on each occasion where we lost power, there was no alarm.
    • In addition, I cannot understand why the newer model BGE90 has the same problem even though there were numerous complaints about this loud alarm in the BGE70
    • It works, and there's (thankfully) no noisy alarm during outages.
    • Also wish I could turn off the annoying alarm.
    • I have no idea why the put an audible alarm in this cheap UPS.
    • At night, a small power glitch will sound the alarm and wake me up
    • Unlike other UPS you don't have to listen to the annoying alarm beeps of other units
    • Lacks ability to turn off audible alarm
    • The one that affects me most is the incredibly loud alarm that sounds when there is some kind of significant power transition
    • All in all... a great, and well thought-out idea.
    • but if this doesn't bother you...go for the BE550G!But for aesthetics, no wall-wart and the fact that this device works as
