It's not one of the "master" detectors. I have opened the cover and tried to unplug the wires from the cover, but I can't get that plug out, I even tried to pull it out with pliers, won't budge.
Does anyone know how I can shut it up until I can get it changed out? How do I change it out? Where and what kind do I buy? Does it require an electrician to do this?
Help, I need to shut it up, I'm going to hit it with a hammer soon.
(Just kidding on that last part, I think)

If it keeps beeping you need to replace it, they only last about 6 years. It is very easy to replace with the same one you can get it at Ace or Lowes. Call the public safety department when you have it and they will put it in for you.
