when alarm beeps continually for no apparent reason, does that mean the battery needs changing? we put in new mattery

where did you install it by-near kitchen, hallway, door, furnace or ???? Possibly you have placed it in a bad location and it appears to be triggering it off. I would take it down from where it is and move it without it being installed on the wall/ceiling to see if that corrects the issue. Is it a new unit? Only other thing is call or email first alert if that doesn't work. Hope this helps. Have a good day!

I suspect that the battery could be an issue. If the new batter does not cure the problem, make sure the new battery is full of power. If it is, you might consider securing a replacement unit. Especially if you are still under warranty. Hope this helps.

Buy a battery tester.Unhook battery//ck out/tester are about 10 $ / at wm ./rs etc. well worth the money. Take alarm outside for 2 hours .Replace be good batterys .Still beeps call the company if in warranty.

Possibly the battery needs changing if you have had it for some time. Other possibilities are: clean the battery terminals and make sure the batteries are seating properly; the sensors need cleaning (see manual for details); the unit is operating in a dusty environment; and, the unit is defective - unfortunately a far from uncommon fault.

Replace battery and if it still happens Call First Alert and get it replaced.

If a bluetooth device has a noise/low battery alert problem, then it is not worth owning. Boycott bluetooth devices that ruin the experience by loudly beeping or saying the battery is low for hours before it dies.

The question as asked is difficult to answer because of lack of information. Many factors come into play; Like how old is your detector and what does randomly mean in this case?If the beeping is reasonably spaced, the problem is probably battery related. If your detector is old, it could be telling you to replace the unit (SURPRISE! they do not last forever).As far as the battery compartment goes - check with the installer and make sure that it has not been locked. These units can be used in homes and small businesses, so they include a pin that can be inserted to lock the battery compartment. If it is not locked, remove it from the bracket and gently pry it open. The question as asked is difficult to answer because of lack of information.

Know what I will have to look at mine. I simlpy haven't paid attention to that. Now I have a question for you. Do you know how to make it stop beeping all the time when there is nothing wrong? Perhaps the room temp is going outside of the perameters established. hahaha. I'll get back with you asap,Steph

I've only ever noticed one mildly annoying beep, and that's when they go into sleep mode. If that's what you mean, it's still there as of the new set I got in October 2014.

Yes. This has happened twice now. At first I assumed that I set the time wrong however, the alarm was going off at a different time.

Alarm beeping? Replace battery. Give it a day to self adjust. Still beeping? Replace with another fresh battery, push the test button. Give it another day to adjust. Still beeping. Push test button. Then give it a day to stew. Still beeping? Replace battery, push test button, smack it against the ceiling once. Give it another day to consider. Still beeping? Replace with a battery from unopened package, whack it with a screwdriver, shake it, yell at it, roughly twist it into place with some kind of verbal ultimatum. Give it another day. Still beeping? Continue with the methods I have written for you and expand using your imagination. Generally works about the 6th or 7th go around. Lemonbalm Alarm beeping? Replace battery.

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

No, Lloyd... just replace your battery & then do an alarm "check" to make sure the system is operating properly.

I do not know but I had the same issue at first. I think it may be not charged enough or not charging. For the first several days it beeped. I kept plugging and unplugging from wall. Also, kept connecting and disconnecting the battery to housing. Finally after enough playing and enough days, it started working for me. Either I got lucky or it has something to do with being charged.

Yes, the unit will alarm and give you a message when it is time to replace the battery or pads.

I have never experienced this situation. However, the instructions say that the alarm should be reset due to an abnormal or operation or previous alarm.

I do not think so. When it stops working I change the batteries. I never heard an alarm

Yes, there is a beep option. Alarm repeats ever couple of minutes for about a half hour in case you have been out of range, outside or such. I find the latter very helpful.

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.
