My carbon monoxide alarm is beeping every 30 sec! Should i be worried?

Its beeping once every 30 sec. I dont have batteries to change them now. Should i be worried?

Never ignore a CO alarm. This alerts before an emergency, before symptoms giving you time to resolve the problem.
You should be testing and vacuuming the cover monthly.
Have you looked at the display?
LB for low battery.
Don’t ignore a reading of 30 PPM.
You can reset or call the toll free consumer hot line to diagnosis over the phone and assist you with any questions.
You can open windows, vent appliances, back car out of garage a safe distance from the living quarters.
An emergency would be a reading of 100 ppm without symptoms.
50-100 should be a concern but not ignored.

Elderly, pregnant women, small children who are more susceptible should be watched for symptoms such as headache, fatigue, dizziness and nausea.

If you do a test and reset and it reactivates within 24 hours, call a qualified technician.
So, to sum up:

* Get out of the house and call 911 if the carbon monoxide alarm starts beeping loudly.

* Change the battery if alarm chirps one quick little beep every few minutes.

* If you need more advice, call the nonemergency phone number for your fire department.
