[QUOTE="elvis, post: 77022, member: 2175"] Did it bleep from the first moment you switched the new one on or did it it take a few days. Kitchen's (although the obvious place) aren't the best places to install smoke detectectors (smoke, steam etc.) they tend to be better just outside. Don't mean to be patronising here either but the plugs in the back of those buggers can be tricky to get to stay firmly in place so if you haven't already it may be worth checking that the plugs are staying in when you screw the detector into the base. I'm sure I also read somewhere that you should isolate the power to some smoke dectectors whilst changing the batteries as the fault condition doesn't clear while they are still powered up... let us know [/QUOTE]
