Next time you have a low-battery situation where something's beeping, take
out your stop watch and measure the time it takes between two beeps. I'm
pretty sure you'll find that the cycle is repeatable enough for the unit
to beep within a second or two of its previous chiming (unless the room
temperature is changing at something like 10 degrees a minute). Being
able to anticipate the next beep precisely makes locating the errant unit
far
easier than standing around simply waiting for it. Try it. You'll see.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that next time something starts beeping.
