I bought the detector months ago. I never used it. Today, I put the battery in, and starting solid nonstop beep despite not having any metal around.

I bought this for my son about a year ago. He says that when you turn the dial ON and go all the way up it will have a constant beep as you say. You must turn it down a bit as if turning volume down for it will work properly.

I don't know exactly what the problem is, there may be an adjustment knob for sensitivity. I but bought two of these a year ago and found their performance very disappointing. I returned them for a full refund. They are just too light weight.

That's a hard question to answer. I don't think I ever needed mine to work----so the way I knew that it was bad was when the warning beeps started sounding. I think that was at about the 4-5 year mark. Did your system warn you that you had a bad battery, or you just went to use it and it wouldn't work? I guess the distinction is that I waited until the system told me the battery was bad before changing it. Maybe if I had tried to use it a year earlier, it wouldn't have worked???? Maybe the system lets the battery drain below the charge needed to open a door? I don't know. I think at least 4 years is what to expect. That's a hard question to answer.

Not even a beep. I've used it on two different occassions, in different locations and with different proctors...they both allowed it and it caused no problems whatsoever.

It depends on the battery. I've used Duracell 9v's for the past 18 months in my leak alert's and they're still going. The device will beep when the battery is low and I've heard no beeps yet. Occasionally I touch the sensors with my wet finger and they're working fine.

I've had mine up for nearly a year, and the battery seems fine. I'm still using it nearly every day. This device is much like the one in your car, and only uses power when you press the button. How long does that battery last you? Has it left you stranded? There are no warning lights. I don't believe you'll have to reprogram when you change the battery. I'm sure Chamberlain built it so that it statically keeps your passcode and frequency codes on the printed circuit board.

Using compressed air, blow out the alarm. Test your battery, it may be low. Dust will accumulate around the sensor. If these suggesting don't work, you may have a faulty detector.

You will not no when it was manufactured until you open up the box an look on the under side of the detector to see manufacture date. If you have concerns about the recalls or battery strength, I would not worry about that. My detector was made and sold with in less than the same year.

Using expensive Energizer Ultimate Lithium AA batteries ($10 for a 4-pack!), I only get about six months before the low battery warnings start. When one begins to beep, others will begin beeping in a week or two. In other words the battery consumption is consistent among the six detectors in the house. My 10 year old Great Dane FREAKS OUT with the beeping sound. I'm now replacing batteries every three months because I fear he'd jump out a window if I was gone and he was exposed to the noise for long.

I haven't noticed any beeping when I've used it. If it did, it wasn't noticeable.

Yes, however the detector has a preset life and will not operate after its expired. (You have to by a new one) Battery is supposed to last the 5 years ??? But you can change it out and put in a regular 9V battery.

I bought this metal detector for my wife as a Christmas present. We live in minnesota where there is still 3 feet of snow on the ground so she hasn't been able to use it yet. I'm sorry I can't help but I haven't even really looked at it

We have used it every night for the last 7 months and the battery still has not been changed once. I assume it will beep if it gets low, but I'm not sure.

Hmmmmm... check for mice?!?! Just kidding. I have no idea why the safe would do that. Mine has never made a sound, and I cant imagine what part of the mechanics would even be capable of making a clicking sound. I don't think there is any kind of "low battery" warning. My safe has functioned perfectly for years. Did 'Stack-On' customer service have any thoughts?

I stand corrected, I did not ever hear or notice the beep before now. Sorry if my previous answer led to confusion.

I used these batteries in smoke detector. Within a week two of the smoke detectors started beeping due to low battery. It has never happend before. I did end up buying new batteries.Sellers were not helpful. I will have to pay return shipping charges, and they were not sure about refund.I will not buy batteries from this seller again.
