|  UPS BE 750 Question
ok I got a small unit for TV, cable box etc, My boyfriend shut it off cause it was beeping all afternoon long today. When I turned it back on the power light would go green but the go red and beep again. So I thought.. mm an empty wire not connected. let's remove this. but then once I removed it and turned it back on it starting humming almost like an old pc'S hard disk on which you hear the writing.. any idea what that can be? |

Is it several years old? Continuous beeping usually means overload, intermittent beeping may mean a replacement battery is needed.
Have you tested this UPS in a simulated power outage (unplugging unit from the wall) with all the loads connected to make sure it can handle everything plugged in?

montreal | when it went off, it would beep and I never tested it with no power on though maybe the battery was defective all this time. but it's just the humming noise that was scary until I unplugged the battery. |

The loud hum may be part of normal operation or may be an indicator that something is about to go *POOF* and let some black smoke out.
Best to discuss it with people who actually know their own product instead of a bunch of know-it-alls and wannabes on the net  |
