@ mtangelillis call Support, troubleshoot and, if necessary, get the sensor replaced at nc under warranty.

Are you seeing a constant yellow light? If so, that's the indicator that your Smoke Detector's tamper switch isn't being held down by the mounting bracket. You'll just want to twist all the way clockwise until the unit gently snaps into place, and the light should disappear. The chirping should stop as well!
