how do i shut it up i swear im going to be deaf by the time im done with it.

i have unplugged it i have put it outside i have put it in the basement fanned it.....

please help!!

Answer
If it's unplugged the device will still work and a cautionary beep is emitted to let you know your battery is dying.

Take the 9 volt out of the back and replace it. If that doesn't work maybe the censor in the actual device is defective.

As a cautionary step I would take it outside and attach an extension cord to it. If it's detecting extreme levels of carbon monoxide outside, you'll know it's faulty and should just replace the entire unit.

Smoke alarms - why would they go off in unison for no apparent reason?

Michelle S

Our smoke alarms all went off in unison tonight for no apparent reason.. I didnt know they could do that for a false alarm? Anyhow, I am worried that as there wasnt a fire, it was due to carbon monoxide, as one of our alarms is a carbon monoxide detector.
How can I check that monoxide isnt an issue for us? What other things can make a fire alarm go off for no reason?

Answer
Maybe you only thought they went off. Maybe the sound was actually coming from inside your ear. That's a common condition called tinnitus.

Another possibility is that they were trying to practice singing in harmony, but it didn't work, because smoke alarms are tone deaf.
