[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 221580, member: 1991"] Sounds like the power failure set off the back-up warning (fuelled by the battery). There should be a reset button on each alarm, sometimes it needs a second press but it should switch them off when this happens (for future reference). I usually use a broom handle. I've had to use the re-set button a lot because our alarms are so freakin' sensitive, that a dust storm will set them off. Or my cooking. Of easy child 2/difficult child 2 having a hot, steamy shower. Or my lighting the barbecue/pizza oven outside. Or the neighbour lighting the barbecue. A low battery will also make the thing go "chirp... chirp... chirp..." ad infinitum until you want to rip the whole thing off the wall. For us though, they are a legal requirement. I'm sorry you had such a rough night. Would your local fire brigade help you get them back into good working order so they WON'T do this to you again? Marg [/QUOTE]
