You know, removing batteries is highly effective at stopping
the chirp. Well, except for me.

Several weeks ago, I was about to leave for church, and the
smoke detector in the hall chirped. So, I got it down and
went to check the battery. Battery was fine, but I put a new
one in anyway. And then it chirped, again. I remembered
there was a detector in the bedroom, so I checked that one.
Also OK. Finally, I took out both batteries from both units,
and stood it the hall. The detector chirped, again. By this
time I was really puzzled. And late for church.

I did figure it out after a while. When I got the new smoke
detector, I absent mindedly took the old one off the wall,
and threw it up on top of the shelf in the hall. Figured it
was extra protection. Have two in the hall instead of one.
What I didn't count on was the low battery confusion.

This is nonsense.

Nope.
