I have several suggestions; please check the date on the device. Note that the replacement time is about 10 years. One other problem we had was insects, specifically ants, nesting in the rafters, down in the alarm base. Vacuumed them out, everything worked fine. Reinsert battery, checking for firm settling. Best of luck.

Let me start by commenting on the date on the device, since it has come up in other posts. I ordered my smoke alarms in May and the device was stamped end of March which seemed quite reasonable. Yep, replacement time is 10 years and if I do it exactly on the 10 year mark I'll be amazed with myself. As per your question Edwin I hooked up my alarms to the house power and they did the low battery beep until I pulled the plastic tab out of the side of the detector which made the battery connect inside the unit itself. I used the battery that came with the unit and didn't need to ever open the battery compartment. When I do replace the battery if it continues to beep I would check the battery connection and also make sure that my batteries were not dead. I expect to replace all the smoke alarm batteries the first of the year, which is what I used to do, and didn't bother this year because I knew I had to replace the detectors. Best of luck with your smoke detector.

The question as asked is difficult to answer because of lack of information. Many factors come into play; Like how old is your detector and what does randomly mean in this case?If the beeping is reasonably spaced, the problem is probably battery related. If your detector is old, it could be telling you to replace the unit (SURPRISE! they do not last forever).As far as the battery compartment goes - check with the installer and make sure that it has not been locked. These units can be used in homes and small businesses, so they include a pin that can be inserted to lock the battery compartment. If it is not locked, remove it from the bracket and gently pry it open. The question as asked is difficult to answer because of lack of information.

It should beep from one room to another room, 20-30 feet, without any problem and if it doesn't then it needs replaced. I will send postage paid, delivery confirmation label to you! God bless, Debby 405-517-3686

Frankly, I have never heard mine "beep"! I use virtually none of the functions except the H.R. monitor, so I don't know if any other uses would produce a "beep".

My new one beeped upon first installing the batteries. Called the manufacturer but they did not have an answer. Sent it back to the seller and got stuck with the return mailing charges.

it does beep once... not sure if it's because of the speaker itself or my phone though, sorry.

I believe you will stop hearing the beep when you push the button when the batteries are low- this should signal new batteries are needed.

Good day J. Martin. Thanks for your message. Well actually installing the battery was the last thing i did after i wired it up and ran some juice through it from the house. No beeps or anything with the battery out.

If the beeping stops after replacing the battery, should mean your new battery has charged above the threshold and that your Simon-XT has found no other defects, low batteries or alerts to bring to your attention. If/When it does complain, press the STATUS button for details.

I'm not positive if this is the same unit but mine requires you to hold the off button till I hear one beep and continue holding until it goes beep beep beep.. And turns off.

Strange, mine has never beeped, and I didn't do anything to get it that way. The only indication I have for inactivity is the red lines on my step count. Sorry couldn't help!

Because of the poor quality of the item, you just might have to go to another vender. But try this: Take the batteries out of the transmitter. Then with the receiver already turned on, replace the batteries in the transmitter. Then wave your hand in front of the transmitter and let it "bond" with the receiver. You should hear two to three beeps at the receiver, then your unit should stop repetitive beeping. Other wise try finding a better vendor.

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.

Remove the detector from it's base. Look at the warning label. It is under that hinged door, which you pop open with the small tab at the outer edge. The unit should have come with a nice Kidde gold battery. You will also find the beep code in very fine print there, along with the date of manufacture. These things will automatically die at the scheduled end of life. Two chirps every 30 seconds means it expired.

Purchased July 2013, and the unit started beeping last week indicating the battery needs replacement. Will be purchasing a different model this time.
