.. the

one in my kitchen has started to \"chirp\" every few seconds-- like devices to when the battery gets weak. But...

it doesn\'t have any batteries. Just wires that look solidly connected. It\'s making me want to smash it with a

hammer. GRRRRRRRR!

Thanks!

I MIGHT.



BTW-- the button at the front door works fine. It\'s the chime in the kitchen (to which the button is wired)

that\'s chirping. GRRRRRRRR!

The battery is low.

Are you sure it\'s not your smoke detector? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

That\'s the mystery of it-- no battery. I\'ve opened the thing. SOUNDS

like a low batterty. WEIRD! Thanks!

Is it a mechanical or electronic chime? Look to see if it has a wire coil, clapper and bells or if it has a circuit

board and speaker.

... for your avice

on the mysterious chirping of my doorbell (which is electric, but no battery). It seems to have stopped. Dunno what

the hell it was.

Thanks, again!
