Digital camera reviews of APC BE550G Back-UPS ES 8 Outlet 550VA 120V

Digital camera Review: "Known" Problems
Summary: 2 Stars

I've had this unit less than a month and it has been running for about 2 weeks now. I bought it as it was reccommended with the network hard drive I bought.

PROS
It was really easy and simple to set up. Software lets you monitor power and interuptions.
There are 2 sockets that are wide spaced for those annoying power supplies.

CONS
Then I came home and it was alarming with a continuous scream. Instructions say to reset by turning off with the power button. No success, the power was already off. Reset didn't work and thats where the instructions stopped. The software help is also pretty useless.
Tech support was instantly helpful. Unplug everything (at which point everything you don't want to switch off obviously loses power), unplug the unit then remove the battery. Apparently they know that sometimes, if there is a power surge, the alarm switch gets fried and you have to send it back for replacement.
Be warned if you are on the west coast, you have to call between 5am and 5 pm PST. Not useful if you have a regular job with a commute!

Lets see how the repacement process goes.
