it only beeped once..about 10 minutes ago..should i be worried..i went to look at it and it only has one light and the light is red but it looks like it is flickering..the light is always red by the way..we have gas heat but our heat has been off for 2 months..our ac is on..where does carbon monoxide come from??
mine is first alert model fcd2np...the date on the back says nov.15th 2005...i dont think it runs off batteries..and it may not have been the carbon monoxide it could have been the fire alarm..i am waiting to hear another beep so i will know..
Answer
Carbon monoxide comes from an open flame. If you had a gas furnace, generator, or other item that ran on natural gas, propane, diesel, gasoline, etc, it would be putting out carbon monoxide as exhaust.
Your monitor only beeped once in ten minutes, its telling you its time to change the battery, most likely. You should change the CO detector battery whenever you change your smoke alarm battery. I change ours whenever we change daylights savings time... so, once in spring, once in fall.
If you kept the papers that came with the monitor, it should tell you what the different beeps are for. Some units have it on the label on the detector, so you might be able to pull it down and look.
If it was detecting CO it would be a continuous beeping, not once in ten minutes.
Remember to change your detectors (smoke and CO) about every 5 years too, because they do wear out.

And today, it beeped 4 beeps every 5 seconds(it says on the back thats the carbon alarm!! I changed the batteries, now it seems to be ok... Whay should i do ??
The dector is new!! I have it for like, 2 years, or something ....
But later it was beeping 4 beeps every 5seconds, the thing says when this happens, its because it feels the carbon monoxide =/
Answer
change the battery's, get a new one could be a defect, if still keeps beeping call 911 or your local gas company
