Default Smoke Detector's Light (Blinking Green)

In article . com,
says...
Hi All,

I have 6 smoke detectors at home, and noticed that 4 of them had a
blinking green light. I thought the problem was battery, so I got some
brand new 9v batteries and replaced them on the 4 blinking ones.


Different brands act differently.

On ours, a blinking green and occasional chirp means it was triggered by
smoke, the smoke went away, but nobody has yet pushed the reset button
on the alarm. (Useful if you come home and see it blinking -- some time
while you were gone, there was enough smoke to trigger the smoke
detector, even if it's not still going.)
