It sounds like there may be an issue with the device. My unit simply shuts off with no alarm whatsoever. You may want to contact the seller for more information and/or an exchange.

If you've change the battery and it's still chirping, some devices have a sensor that dust will set off the alarm.

When the alarm signal goes off, and cannot be reset. Also, when this happens you have to buy a new unit. This just happened to me, so I can speak from experience. Good luck.

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

is the alarm setting on its own when you plug in the battery? It should only activate when you hold down B, maybe you got a defective one or you have a battery that is almost dead. I would try a new battery. I ordered 2 at the time since there so cheap and I got 2 working alarms! only thing i can think that would make them better is if they gave off a electric shock.

The silence button silences the alarm if it goes off. When the batteries are low it sounds a soft chirp. I have not tried to silence the low battery sound, I have only replaced the battery. My guess is the silence button would stop the low battery sound for only a little while.

Usually when the siren sound came on, on my unit it meant that the batteries were low. I put new batteries on it and the siren sound went away.

Make sure the clamp is completely dry and open when you turn out on. if this doesn't keep the alarm from going off then contact customer sevice.

There is a switch on the power converter on the back of charger. Try to turn this switch to off to stop alarm.

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.

That's recently happened to me. Changed the batt. No more crazy beeping! Takes a day or two to kick in though.

I can only speak for the chime setting because we do not use the alarm. If the batteries are running low the chime won't work all the time, its sporadic. With fresh batteries I have had no issues. When the batteries are running low you get a warning, the chime only plays the first portion of the song, then it makes a low battery beep. This will go on for days or weeks until you replace them. The longer you wait the less reliable the chime is with the old batteries being used.

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.

Happened to me at 1 am a few times! It is alarm. I don't have it handy or I could give more details. The instruction sheet should help you out though. Good luck :)

When the batteries run down, the alarm will go off continuously to let you know the batteries need to be replaced.
