Stay connected via the internet when your power goes out. That wifi signal can still be available if your router is connected to a UPS.
Laptops or low-power devices
Give yourself the time to save documents and gracefully shut down your laptop without the harsh impact on your electronics of a sudden power loss.
DVR
Don't let a power flux interrupt the recording of your favorite show! Connect an APC UPS to ensure blip-free recording.
Television and Cablebox
For higher powered items like LCD televisions, a higher VA UPS is recommended (BE850M2, or BE600M1).
Q: Can you adjust the alarm settings?
A: Yes, BE425M's alarm can be adjusted to 3 modes: 1. Full Alarm (Alarm beeps every 30 seconds, then every 1/2 second when on low battery); 2. Quiet Alarm (no alarm until low battery notification); 3. No Alarm while the UPS is 'on battery.' See instr.
Q: Does a separate battery need to be purchased with this UPS?
A: No, the BE425M ships in ready-to-use condition. No other purchases are required.
Q: Can I plug my laser printer into a UPS?
A: Due to the large amount of power used by laser printers, APC does not recommend connecting them to a UPS below 1500VA. If laser printers are connected, it may cause the UPS to transfer to battery repeatedly, exhausting the battery unnecessarily
