The Gemini panel has been beeping continuously. I have already removed a black battery from the panel, but the alarms are still going off. Any suggestions?

Typically, alarms are powered by two sources. A faceplate-mounted white power brick, also known as a “wall wart,” is one type. This is usually located next to the doorbell transformer, in the attic, or next to the wiring box in a closet. Although it appears to be a typical wall adaptor, the wires are typically stapled to the wall or hidden from view. The power brick may be effortlessly removed with a standard screwdriver thanks to the screw terminals on the bottom. You have previously disconnected the battery, which is the other power source.

Hard-wired alarm systems are linked directly to both your phone line and your power source. It’s a good idea to have it safely disconnected by a security company. Keep in mind that you’ll probably need to install new smoke and carbon monoxide detectors if you decide not to use it any more.

Locate the transformer, which might be in the attic, and disconnect the wires from the backup battery.
