Something like push a button on any of the detectors and whichever is chirping gives a continuous audible alert for a minute.
It's the "now and again" that's the problem.
Mine flash about once per 40 seconds, which means I need to watch a detector for about a minute to eliminate it, meanwhile keeping my ears pealed in the hope I can locate the next peep. This takes a while when you have one per bedroom, one at the top of the stairs and a CO monitor (and occasionally it's really a DVD player or the spare car key fob that's beeping).
If somebody gets so deep on my s*** list that ship your enemies glitter is not enough, I'll build some intermittent beepers and hide them around their house.
