I tried to get the round mustard-colored plastic housing off the unit but only succeeded in prying it loose from its circular mounting bracket. Since I'm a klutz with mechanical things (who would have thought, huh), I didn't try very long to get the housing off the unit to check for a battery. I screwed it back into its mounting bracket.
It looks a lot like that one above, except a tad taller overall unit and mustard-colored. After I restored the AC power to it, everything was fine until today, when it squawked again. The WEIRD thing is, if the battery is dead or dying, why the hell would it not squawk every 15 minutes or so ? I can't see a battery in it so far, but then again I'm having to work at arm's length with it. Of course, I can't see a brand name yet.
I really don't want to break this thing accidentally.
ETA: I just restored the AC power to it, and it did NOT squawk at me at all. The red indicator light is lit inside the unit, so I'm assuming it's functional.
