Called tech support for my smoke detector. After navigating a series of menus, I pressed a bunch of 1s and 2s I finally got to a real person. They wanted my full name and phone number before I got to explain the issue. I have a smoke detector that I thought the battery was dead because the beep was so faint I could hardly hear it at 1 foot away. I changed the battery for a new one and same issue with the test beep, hardly audible. The manufacture date on the back says June 2009. The customer service rep said that this model only has a 3 year warranty and that they could do nothing for me. I guess this has lasted me 8 years so it was a worthwhile investment, but I wish I didn't have to buy another one. The person on the phone was very friendly and apologetic. I will probably buy my next smoke detector from them if it is cheap like this one was. I can't imagine buying a high end smoke detector and expecting much more out of it. I have three in my small apartment, so I am not in danger while this one is out of order. read more
