What is an interconnected smoke alarm?
An interconnected smoke detector is a smoke detector that talks to the other smoke detectors in your home so that in the event of a fire if one smoke detector detects fire all of the smoke detectors will sound the alarm.
How do you stop a sealed smoke alarm from beeping?
Try a manual reset. Remove the batteries and hold down the reset button for 15 to 20 seconds. Reconnect the batteries and alarm. It will most likely beep once as evidence it is working, then it should stop.
Can I interconnect different smoke detectors?
Yes. You can replace a smoke detector with a combination smoke/CO unit. For example, if you have 5 smoke detectors interconnected with one combo unit, only the combo smoke/CO unit will sound the CO alarm.

If the smoke alarm is powered by battery, it runs on either a disposable 9-volt battery or a non-replaceable 10-year sealed lithium battery.
