When it is the battery it will just issue a single beep at a regular interval.

Another post says to call the fire department. I was aware that they do replace batteries or rather install batteries that you have purchased. BUT, I really did not want to bother them with this.
Another poster said they will actually replace defective units and another poster says the dual ones smoke and carbon monoxide cost $40 plus at ace.
Another poster says there were/are defective First Alert detectors installed by the Villages and that First Alert will send replacements at N/c against serial numbers.
Plan-I will call the fire dept and see what they have to say.
So far, I've not really looked at it while I was fully awake.
