My unit beeps even though nothing is there to set it off. IEven in the middle of the night. What's wrong?

Mine does that too - we have people here who make a living stealing from mailboxes.

What's wrong is that you bought a piece of junk. I threw mine away and bought a different product.

Sounds like a defective unit, or maybe the transmitter needs to be repositioned.

I just got mine and everything seemed fine at first but then I started getting false alerts after a few hours. It turns out, I had installed it so that the arrow pointed down when the door was closed. Turning it around so that the arrow points up with the door closed fixed the hypersensitivity problem.

One other possibility other than wind for a false reading is a heavy truck passing by. If it can vibrate the pavement it can shake your mailbox adjacent enough to set off the reminder.

Yes, mine also beeps at seemingly nothing. But I think we've been able to narrow it down to high winds. So now we just unplug it when it's windy.

I never had that problem. Is the unit in the mail box set up right? It should beep when the door is open. the arrow should point up. there is also a reset button on the house unit. Sorry that all I can tell you.

I don't know. That has not happened to us. Does your outer unit need new batteries?

No and it is annoying that the beep is so low. If I'm not in the kitchen, I set a portable timer.

There must be something wrong with your unit. Mine has never ever gone to sleep, not even a nap.

I use this at night and I am usually asleep when it stops. I don't hear the beep. I hope someone else is able to answer your question. Pam

If it started beeping on the first use, then check to see if the electric outlet is properly grounded. Try plugging it into a known grounded outlet. It should not beep, if it does, then you got a defective unit. Your outlet needs to be grounded. The beauty of the device is the beeping does occur if it is sacrificed during a power surge to let you know the appliance is no longer protected.

You have a zone (09) that is tripped, could be a door or window sensor that isn't lined up properly or broken. Or maybe there is tripped motion on a zone. You can bypass the zone by entering your code then pressing 6 and then the zone number (09 in your case), then type in your code again and it should beep and the zone is bypassed. This zone isn't active now though, so if its tripped the system will ignore it and not notify you or go off.

There are no electronic beeps. I have mine in a small bedroom and it's never kept me awake with noise. I love mine.

it only beeps. You need to know what you set the alarm for. Perhaps your phone might be a better way to set alarms with specific information attached?

I believe it only beeps if the unit has detected a surge. Once the surge clears and the unit is functioning properly, it should not continue beeping. The 3 units that I have do not continuously beep as you describe and there have been several brownouts in my neighborhood. Make sure you see a green light under the red one. If not, there's no surge protection and that could be why its beeping. I would contact Customer Service and verify that you didn't receive a bad unit.

I have to respectfully disagree with the comment from NM Norma. Maybe she has an older or different version of this timer. I have a recent version, approximately one month old, and it beeps non-stop until I hit the reset button. I find this to be a very helpful feature. It's also pretty loud, but not TOO loud. I'm not sure if it would be loud enough to be heard from upstairs, especially if there are a lot of other noises in the house, but the great thing is that it has a belt clip so you can simply take it with you wherever you go. :)

One beep is on,2 off. I beleive if you press button briefly it will set that sound.

Yes, the unit beeps when is has taken over for a power problem or outage. There is a silence button that stops the beep until the power comes back/ If it goes out again the beep continues until you silence it for a second time. It shouldn't be a problem for you.

I've never experienced that with mine in 3 years of use. I'd suggest unplugging it, waiting a minute and plugging it back in. If the beeping continues, I'd follow Bob W's advice and contact the seller. Good luck!

You need to push a button. My problem with it is that when you touch it on one of the buttons it beeps. It seems like every time I touch it it beeps if there is someone else in the bed or the room, it will disturb them. I am getting something else.

The unit starts to beep rather loudly and doesn't stop till you replace the battery...if I remember correctly.

The question was about the beeping when powering it on or off, not when you loose power. My unit beeps too when powering it on or off. However, the beeps that mine makes are not loud. Perhaps I have an older or newer model. I have not seen anything in the settings that allow the beep volume to be changed.

i didn't hear any beeping...it was more like jet engine taking off, kinda screech, but replacing it definitely took that noise away and now the TV stays onLoud random beep sounds more like a battery backup or smoke alarm, to me.
