Smoke detector red light flashes 4 times every 10 seconds

After changing the battery in smoke detector, red light flashes 4 times every 10 seconds for a few hours already. Yellow light is steady and no any sound. Is anyone experienced similar issue?

Hi @yjstar,

The solid yellow light means that the Smoke Detector is not completely on its mounting bracket. Try turning the detector a little bit more clock-wise until you feel it click into place. Once it clicks into place, the yellow light should turn off and the Smoke Detector should resume normal operation.

Same issue.  Four red pulses every ten seconds.  This does not correspond to anything on the SSSD1's documentation in the PDF found on the Simplisafe website.  Yes we know the steady yellow light means it is not mounted but you completely ignored the portion of his/her question referencing FOUR RED PULSES every ten seconds.  Same indicator pattern on mine as well.
