If it is sounding a full alarm instead: the maker’s emergency instruction
Smoke alarm
X-Sense: never ignore any alarm (XS01-WR manual). Check for signs of smoke or fire; if you see or smell smoke, evacuate immediately and call emergency services. If you are unsure what the hazard is, contact emergency services for guidance.

The X-Sense alarm on these pages senses smoke only. For a carbon monoxide alarm, follow its own maker’s instruction.
What X-Sense says to do about this signal
- Nothing to do. X-Sense says to test the alarm once a week and clean it at least every 3 months.
From Wireless Interlinked Smoke Alarm XS01-WR — User Manual. If your alarm’s pattern is not exactly this, check the manual for your model: X-Sense models do not all use the same signals.

The same state sounds and looks different on each make — which is why a chirp pattern cannot be read without the brand.
