Carbon Monoxide Alarm
 
My alarm beeps and its red light doesn't extinguish even after I have replaced the battery using a few new ones.

What could I be doing wrong? Old battery removed -- New battery installed --Am I missing something?

Thanks for the help.

Have you checked your carbon monoxide levels?

The beeping is the type to indicate the battery needs repacement, now the warning wail.

Use one of the air cannisters for cleaning keyboards and blow the innards as much as you can. I had a smoke detector do this when a spider thought it would make a neat new home.

We had same problem, changed the batteries and kept doing it, so the alarm company said sometimes dust gets in there and just blow it out.

SMOKE DETECTORS.....

A LITTLE OFF THE SUBJECT BUT INTERESTING TO NOTE...

WHEN I FIRST CAME TO THE VILLAGES I BOUGHT A COURTYARD VILLA WHICH HAD SIX SMOKE DETECTORS ...AFTER A YEAR OR SO ONE STARTING BEEPING , I CHANGED THE BATTERIES AND ANOTHER ONE STARTING BEEPING AND NOTHING I COULD DO WOULD STOP THEM...........A ( know it all) NEIGHBOR TOLD ME YOU HAD TO CHANGE THEM ALL IF YOU WANT THEM TO STOP.....ITS CRAZY I KNOW BUT WHEN I PUT FRESH BATTERIES IN THEM THEY STOPPED .............I LATER HEARD THAT IF YOU DON'T REPLACE THEM ALL , THE ONES WITH WEAKER BATTERIES WILL START BEEPING ....
I THOUGHT THIS WAS CRAZY AT FIRST BUT WAS TOLD SOME HOUSES HAVE THEM WIRED TOGETHER .......
CAN ANYONE CONFIRM OR DENY THIS , IF SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW FOR MY OWN PIECE OF MIND (what there is left) ...
