carbon monoxide detector 30 seconds image

some girl

It's so disturbing, i can't sleep with that thing beeping every 30 seconds, its quite loud too.
What's wrong with it? My mom just got a new battery for it and i don't think our house is poisoned or whatever the detector is for..
So what's wrong with it and what can we do? thanks all ._.
oh and this started recently (i think on monday Nov 1st)
it'll start beeping every 30 seconds at around 4pm
then around 6pm it starts again, i dont really keep track, but i believe it goes in a 2 hour cycle.
it usually lasts for around 30 mins

Answer
Could be that your mom didn't install the new battery correctly. (Mine was a real pain.)

Carbon Monoxide detector goes off every 30 seconds?

katstar08

I hit the reset button. I went outside. It beeped after a few minutes outside. So does that mean the battery is just going out? It does not plug in the wall or have a display. I am paranoid enough now I do not know if I am feeling stuff out of stress or not. It is back on the wall and is not going off now. but it would beep once, then thirty seconds later it'd beep again both inside and out. Red light flashing. Help.

Answer
Replace the battery to see if it makes a difference. If it still beeps either something is wrong with it or it is indeed detecting CO.
