Hi- does this detector only show a 0 and beeps when its dangerously high or the numbers go up and down accordingly?

Ours routinely showed a '0' 10 months after using it began beeping and warning with "ERR" message. After changing batteries,fiddling with, doing online research, and even called our local fire department (non-emergency number), we determined it was irreparably broken. I went to the nearest kmart and bought a First Alert (at 10 pm), because I was nervous we might have had a CO problem. We didn't. I would not recommend this model.

When everything is OK; it shows a "0". The numbers increase if there is a problem.. Just beware of what is said about plugging it in to 110 power as soon as you install the batteries or it will alarm very LOUDLY and scare the dickens out of you.

This unit displays both the actual current levels as a number but also stores the peak exposure, which can be accessed or reset with the front dial. I have several of this model and have had no issues, other than the directions can be a bit confusing.

Sandy: Mine arrived broken and when I put battery in it screamed. Couldn't stop it. Returned it and went to Ace Hardware and bought a different make.

It stops beeps and gives an error code. I've had it get stuck on curtains and against a rug no damage to either

Yes, after it starts there should be an upside down "u" on the screen. The manual has the different indications. Also it will beep indicating that the signal was received.

I'm almost positive it does. It's not right in front of me but the functions are identical to my last meter (which failed) and it had that continuity beep. I can check later. They should indicate that under Specifications at Home Depot website as well.

You have to push the button when you want it to measure the distance, and then it does beep.hope this helps..

Just turned mine on to see. It counts down and then you blow. Didn't see it zero out.

If you press the "+" to quickly to get to a higher level, the unit will have a constant beep. This happened to me several times before I figured out what was happening. Simply press and hold the "-" (minus) button until the unit beeps and goes off, turn it back on and wait a few seconds between pressing the "+" to advance levels. This should solve the problem! Hope this helps! KC Vancouer, WA

Yes, the receiver (base unit) is in the house and has a selector switch to set the unit to a constant beep, to a siren or to OFF when a sensor is tripped! You in effect are not turning the sensors off, you are turning off the "monitoring" of the sensors.

The problem is it seems to pick up everything. I have owned at least 4 detectors, the last one for twenty years and I never got a ticket. This one has too many false alarms!! I unplug it half the time.

Note that the question is if it will " beep." I just checked the instructions online and although the display will show an indication, it won't beep. You would have to look at the monitor to know if you're in or out of range- pretty impractical if you are running on a road or trail.

Not that I have found. I have 2 and I can program out the countdown, but haven't (tried) to stop the beeps. Re-read the instructions and found nothing about that.

I played around with it to see what it would do. A single beep sounds when motion is detected. Then about 15-20 seconds later the (obnoxious) alarm starts, and continues for about 30 seconds before it stops. I'm not sure how long it takes, but the unit does re-arm itself after the alarm has been sounded.

possibly so. i know that anytime something is in our driveway it beeps. i'm not sure of the sensitivity level.hope this is helpful

Yes, it continues to beep for 60 seconds after it goes off. As I said in my review I would not buy this again because it has such a short alarm time. If you step outside or go to the garage for something you may not realize it has gone off for several minutes. The other one I have rings for five minutes and also has a countdown screen which continues to count down so you'll know how long ago it went off. Just my thoughts.

It typically beeps about every second until you push the stop button. If you just ignore it, it will beep about 20 times and then stop on its own, showing the time you set on the alarm. I find this timer works very well; it survives being knocked down from the stove -- it is durable -- well worth the price.

It will beep when you first connect it, then it will only beep when the voltage is low.

It doesn't light up and it is a very loud beep that sounds for each minute increment that is set and beeps for about a minute when time is reached. I can hear it clear across the house.
