Question:

So, I'm looking for a smoke detector that will alert me if I'm not home. Trying to avoid a third-party &alert&?

What I'm really after is simply a smoke alarm that'll beep me where I am if there's a fire. I have a cat in an apartment complex, and if a neighbor started a fire, it might be too late by the time I found out about it. I want a smoke alarm that'll go off in my pocket if I'm out running errands, but don't want to pay for a command center to monitor, and alert me if there is one. Any ideas? What are they called?Multo Gracias!-SF

Answer:

You gotta reset the device. Look for a small hole (about the size of the tip of an ink pen) and push it with a pen, pencil or something small like that.
You're kidding, right? But just in case you're not. Barnes and Noble is a book store. It sells books. It makes money on the books it sells. It buys books that it thinks will sell. Then it advertises those books and offers them for sale to book readers. Barnes and Noble does not care what the books say. It just wants to sell books. Apparently, many people want to read about Darwin and The God Delusion and such. Now, are you really dumb enough to wonder why Barnes and Noble advertises the books you mentioned? I certainly hope not. You give Atheists cause to laugh.
I think a stretched rubber band would be correct because it has the potential to do something but is not doing it yet.
There are a couple of reasons a unit may chirp. If the battery is low the unit can have a sporadic chirping at first but the should settle down to a 40-second interval, this chirp will continue for at least 30 days or until the battery is replaced. The second cause for this chirp is if the alarm sensor has malfunctioned, the alarm must be replaced in this case. On some units you can tell the difference between the malfunction chirp and the low battery chirp. If the red LED flashes between chirps it is malfunctioning, whereas the red LED will flash in synch with the chirps for a low battery.
I have the same problem. I never figures out what was wrong. It still chirps but I'm pretty much immune to it :)
