Beeping Subaru Forester - should I be concerned?

My 2006 Subaru Forester 2.0L manual has recently started beeping (a single beep) when first starting. Should I be concerned?

If this happens on a Peugeot it's to warn you that the battery is getting to the stage where it cannot hold a full charge. May be similar on a Subaru.

Very useful off-road yet an enjoyable car-like drive on tarmac. Looks and feels classier than its predecessor. Well built. Owners rate it.
