When there is a power outage the BE550G will switch to battery power. When the unit switches to battery power it starts to beep to warn you that it in fact is using the internal battery to power your equipment. This serves as a warning to users in case it is not obvious that the power has gone out.
The beeping serves as a way to warn and remind users that the unit is on battery so they can safely save and shutdown anything that they may be working on.
Thank You.
