The Rauchabzug is beeping, what do I do?
I'm new to Germany (Berlin) and I find myself alone in an apartment faced with a Rauchabzug that's making a single constant beep.
As best I can tell from some brief research, this has something to do with smoke extraction in case of fire, but it's been going for a while now, there doesn't seem to be any fire or smoke and the noise is more just irritating than something that seems like an alarm.
What does this mean and what am I suppose to do about it?
It looks roughly like this image I found on Wikipedia:

We were desperate and our landlord was not doing anything. After reading @Janka's answer we tried to open the cover and it worked for a while. But beepings started again.
We kept the cover open but no luck. Then we saw a small button inside. On the board it was written something like "reset". Anyway, I do not encourage anybody to do it, but we pressed that and it worked for good.

They will beep or chirp when the battery is low. Change the battery and this chirping will stop. If they detect smoke (or a bonfire nearby), or Carbon Monoxide, the alarm will be louder and more insistent. LP detectors are hardwired in and do not have a battery like a smoke detector.What causes beeping?
All it takes to make a beep is a common electric circuit that produces a square wave, a simple type of signal that jumps back and forth between two levels, and a speaker to amplify it.Rauchabzug wirksam prüfen – Brandrauch Simulation TÜV Rheinland
