The Villages DOES install a combination smoke/CO detector outside each bedroom area. We check for this on every warranty inspection. You can tell the combo units because they are the ones that have gray writing on them......the "smoke only" detectors are all white. Every so often we find one switched or missing, but 99% of the time they are there and installed correctly and working fine. We also test all detectors on every inspection.

If you are suggesting that The Villages does not comply with this code, you would be incorrect.

H[QUOTE=mixsonci;1577497]I finally managed to get the cover off. Thanks for your help.

My smoke detector has been peeping for days now. I have put 3 new batteries in it and it doesn't help, so don't think it's the battery. I'm assuming the whole unit may need to

Hey, get new ones, they MOSTLY come with batteries, and JUST CALL THE FIRE DEPT. they send out a person to change them, no charge, I do give them a tip. Suggestion, DO NOT WORK ON ANY DETECTOR.
