The red "replace battery" light is still on and the beeping started right back up. However, I live in an area where the power goes out pretty often and the battery back up has been required quite a few times, so my battery life probably is shot. I have no intention in replacing the battery because now I have a back up generator that fires the FIOS up just fine when the power is out.
So with the beeping going every 15 minutes it was really pushing my button. That's it! Push the **bleep** alarm reset button! I took a little rubber suction cup hanger and cut the suction cup part off. That left me with a little rubber round button about a half inch high. I duct taped it over the blue alarm reset button to keep it constantly pushed in and NO MORE BEEPS!!!
If you aren't going to replace the battery, disconnect it from the terminals (unplug the negative then positive wires) and the alarm should remain off.
