It wasn't the "normal" alarm sound in the manual that is four short beeps and 5 seconds silence, then four short beeps..etc. It's a nighthawk and it did a sort of chirp, then was silent for about 20 seconds, the reading was 0. SHould we be concerned ?? Or sleep and check it out tommorow??
On the user manual it says if it beeps like that and says LB then its a low battery! Im just sort of tripping out but the rest of my fam has gone to bed saying I'am overreacting.
WUGGA- when yours chirped, did it have a reading of anything or was it 0 still??
Answer
If the reading is zero then it probably isn't a big deal... but I'd call the fire department (normal number not 911) and see what they think. We had a problem earlier this year because of snow blocking our vents where some carbon monoxide built up in our house. The alarm only chirped once or twice also because only a bit was getting in at a time so it wouldn't really detect it for the most part.
However, it was enough that it built up in our house. We were all fine, but it could have been an issue if we hadn't been checked out.

What should I do when my Carbon Monoxide alarm detects Carbon Monoxide?
Sasha
Who should I call?
Should I open windows?
Should I evacuate immediately?
Whats the first thing I should do if the alarm sounds?
Answer
Carbon Monoxide gas is colorless, tasteless and odorless.
First thing: Get Out the house!
2. Leave the door open to ventilate the house.
3. Wait an 1 hour then open windows for cross ventilation and step out.
All this assuming nothing is on fire. Carbon Monoxide is a product of something Burning, even your car's exhaust will trigger the alarm if there is enough concentration of these gas.
Off course if there is smoke, there is fire and something is burning. Call 911.
