I didn't know where to post this, technically it's still a power supply so...

My new 480w ups is beeping every like 10 seconds with only a modem connected to it. Anyone knows what's up with with that?

The battery is full btw.

Did you look at the manual/manufacturer website? 

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

Did you try turning it on and off again?

Did you try disconnecting the modem and seeing what it does?

Did you try connecting something else like a computer?

Does it say the battery needs replacing? (kind of likely)

Don't see what you need? Check the Full List or *PM me, if I haven't made it I'll add it to the list.

*NOTE: I'll only add it to the list if the request is something I know I can do.

According to my knowledge UPS is supposed to beep when there is no power going to it from the outlet.

One of mine started beeping continuously and I had to replace the whole battery as it reached its life expectancy limit.

Yeah seems like it only happens when there's no power. It's not used though.

That's how a UPS works. It's to alert you to the fact it's not receiving AC power.

 

Some (or most) UPS's allow you to mute the beeper if you don't like it.

Why disconnect it from power in the first place?
