Just wondering anyone knows how to stop the smoke alarm beeping? I've attached a photo of it. It will beep once every 30 seconds for a few hours and then stop and then a few hours later start over again. I thought it maybe still needs a battery even though it's mains powered so opened it up and there doesn't seem to be battery slot. Although it does look potentially like theres one there that you can see on the picture but it won't open as the plug with the wires blocks it from opening and the plug with the wires won't come out anyway.

Hope you can advise.

Thanks

Look like you can you pull out the plug by unclipping it.
 
Usually a back up battery failing causes that bleep every 30 mins or so.

1. The wires will unplug. Allowing removal of the cover to access to the backup battery.

2. Check any dates on the alarm itself. They usually have a 10 year life for the smoke sensors and it may all need replacing.

3. Find the manual for the alarm. It would help you. Contact the makers if necessary https://hispec.co.uk/mains-interconnectable-109-c.asp
 
Thanks, how do I unplug the wires, when I pull them (Well the plug they are attached too it won't budge).
