In most cases this means you need to change the batteries in your smoke detector. To make sure, simple push the battery check bottom on the unit to confirm this.

It means that your battery needs to be replaced. Although your smoke detector is hardwired, it will only work when the electricity is on. All hardwired smoke detectors have a battery in the event the electricity is cut off.

it probably means either replace the unit batteries or internal batteries, or that it's malfunctioning.

They are not a reliable detector if ever there is an electrical fire they DO NOT WORK but if it is beeping often you need to contact a professional.
