Carbon Monoxide Detector Is Beeping

Please refer to your detector's documentation to find out if the pattern means:

A) carbon monoxide detected
B) low battery
C) device needs to be replaced.

If in doubt, or in case of CO you should vacate the premises immediately and call the fire department.
If it has a battery and it's low, replace it. 
If it's none of the above you'll want to replace it with a new detector.
