Questions and answers
My Lifesaver 6000dcw has suddenly started making a continuous, low level, high pitched noise. There are no red lights flashing anywhere else. If I put my finger over the air vent, the sound stops.
A continuous high-pitched noise from the Lifesaver 6000 that stops when covering the air vent could be caused by combustion particles, such as smoke or cooking fumes, entering the alarm. The alarm is sensitive to such particles, especially if located too close to cooking appliances. Covering the air vent may block these particles, stopping the alarm.
