My little house has/had five hard-wired smoke/CO monitors. The first 
one to go nuts on me was the one in my bedroom. Thinking the 9 volt back
up battery had died I replaced it. No joy. So I found that there is a
regular two prong electrical plug that can be unplugged from its socket.

One by one the others began dying. I am now down to the unit in the
living room. When it finally gives up the ghost I shall have to look
around for a replacement. And probably lace it at the center of the
house in the "common room".

I suspect that yours may be *totally* had wired since it is connected
to a central office/monitoring station. And even if you could unplg it
it would, no doubt, rat you out to security.   Bv)=
