I have First Alert detectors in my home. 5 beeps means it's toast. Check the date on the unit, and it should be around 5-7 years from the manufacture date. You should probably replace them all, because the rest, if they all have simular dates, will be going soon, too. Take note of which one(s) are carbon monoxide detectors. Those are usually in the hallways
