To avoid the alarm, just clamp the wire probe to the positive terminal of the battery.

Please call Basement Watchdog at (800)-991-0466 and they will send you the yellow caps for free. I did the same. If the probe can't test the battery, the whole watchdog system is very useless.

Take the cap off the battery that now covers the hole into which the battery water level indicator is supposed to go (usually 2nd from one end) and drill a 1/32 hole through the cap. The probe for the water level can now be placed into the new hole you drilled. Try to keep the new hole away from the existing vent hole already in the cap.

I do not know. Perhaps you should contact them and get the yellow cap and probe. It should have been included.

I did not get the yellow cap either. In order to stop the beeping you need to take the probe, intended for the cap, and insert it under the left most (positive terminal I think) wing nut. The probe will no longer signal the need to add water but at least it will not beep.

if you set it for 30 minutes it will beep but then you will have to press STOP and then restart it.

Got mine yesterday. It was working initially. Garage door opened, it beeped; closed, it stopped beeping. Hours later, it started beeping again even when the door was still shut. Not sure what to do with it.

I have two of these. One of mine died recently too. It would beep repeatedly, start up and then just shut off. I didn't pursue it though because I had overfilled it and thought it could be water damage.

I think its beeping because the battery is low. You have to charge it. User guide is I think online. Google it. best of luck

I stand corrected, I did not ever hear or notice the beep before now. Sorry if my previous answer led to confusion.

Remove the detector from it's base. Look at the warning label. It is under that hinged door, which you pop open with the small tab at the outer edge. The unit should have come with a nice Kidde gold battery. You will also find the beep code in very fine print there, along with the date of manufacture. These things will automatically die at the scheduled end of life. Two chirps every 30 seconds means it expired.

You choose beep or zap. I beeped then zapped after a while my dog responded to just the berp

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

Just purchased the botvac 80 about three weeks ago. I have used it four or five times now. I have never heard it continuously beep. This thing is amazing, it works great!

I want to say you hold A and B until you hear it beep. If that's not it just call the company they can help you.

Michele: Mine doesn't beep when I make copies. There is probably something else going on. You may have something in the manual for that, or call the support personnel at the company and ask.

I don't know of a way, but I agree that it's not very loud. I suggest you set another timer with a louder beep as a backup!

If it chirps every 30-40 seconds, the battery may need replacement. I can't recall if there is any "expiry" date on the detector - is it exactly 1 minute? I suggest tossing in fresh batteries and maybe clean by vacuuming around the detector with a brush attachment. And see if that stops the beeping? I thankfully have not had the chirping problem until after about a year and it was because the battery was weak. Is it all of them beeping at once? I would hardly think all 4 could fail at the same time, but try the obvious approach first. Otherwise, you may have defective detectors or your wiring may be faulty.

try blowing it out with a pressure-ized aresol can of computer keyboard dust remover or moterized portable air tire pump...you can try this twice, no more! In the vent slits of th unit hub itself away from yours and anyone elses face . re-mount the unit and test it,and wait to hear if the "die-ing" beeps return..could happen later again....remember , these are disposible devices,anf it won't clean up..throw it out ! replace it

I think you got a lemon. I had a similar issue with mine. I had to unplug the unit wait a few minutes and the plugged it back in. It kept beeping three times and I just gelded the button down until it beeped once. Haven't had any problems since.

It is a very low beep. I ended going to one of those dollar type stores and purchasing some kitchen timers. There is also a website that has visual timers.
