Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
A beeping APC UPS usually indicates that the unit is running on battery power, the battery is low, or there is an overload condition. A continuous tone often signals that the battery must be replaced immediately or the unit is overloaded.
The model and serial numbers are typically located on a white barcode sticker found on the rear or bottom of the unit. For rack-mount units, check the front bezel or the top of the chassis.
APC recommends replacing UPS batteries every 3-5 years, depending on usage and environmental factors such as temperature and discharge frequency. The unit will typically signal when a replacement is needed.
