carbon monoxide detector just went off image
HappyGirl
The carbon monoxide detector in my room was just going off. The little screen had a dot/star then a 97. Right away I told my mom and she went and looked at it. She turned it off so it would stop beeping and she said that the windows are open and that the furnace isn't on so I'll be fine. I'm still a little scared. What do the numbers mean and what do you think I should do?

Maybe your carbon monoxide detector's wiring are messed up, or it's reacting to low battery energy. I sadly don't know what the dot/star and 97 means. If it really scares you, tell your mother :)

Why does my Carbon Monoxide detector keep going off?

We have a brand new First Alert smoke/carbon monoxide detector. One day it was going off when I came home for lunch. I called the fire dept. and they came and did a test and said my levels were normal for the basement. A few weeks ago it started going off again so I opened a window. We felt no symptoms. This morning it went off yet again.
Is my device faulty? What could be the problems. Every time it has gone off I have replaced the batteries just in case the signal meant low battery.

I would try a different unit (or even different brand) and see if the results are the same. You might even try getting separate smoke/CO detectors and try different locations. And if it goes off again, I would have the fire department come and check more than the basement (and they should use two detectors to make sure THEIR readings are accurate). There's a whole myriad of factors involved here; I wouldn't rest until I was sure I wasn't in any danger. People die from CO poisoning every day. I've found a couple of websites that might help:
