When a CO alarm goes off, how do you know when it's a false alarm and when it's actually detecting a problem?

I have two CO alarms in my apartment, for I have a large apartment in NYC. Anyway, the CO alarms keep going off. They've been going off continuously for about an hour, and after I shut them off, after five minutes they come back on. As it was going off, the light under "Alarm: Head To Cleam Air" was flashing, but it usually does that, and we've brushed it off and lived to the next day. I went to the superintendent of my building with a neighbor because I'm home alone, and he said that it was probably a malfunction, for the CO alarms usually go off in my apartment(s) about once every two weeks. We've already had both of them replaced several times due to malfunctions. I was just wondering, though: how can I be sure that the alarms are actually detecting carbon monoxide, and how do I know when it's just a malfunction, or is there no way to know when one of the two is occuring?


Answer
There is usually different patterns to the alarms.
I'm not exactly sure of them and each manufacturer's pattern is probably different, but it would be something like
3 beeps = faulty detector
4 beeps = detecting CO2, open windows and head to clean air
1 "chirp" every minute or so = replace battery...
