SMOKE DETECTOR
Statistics show that most re casualties are
not caused by direct ame, but by less visible
smoke (products of combustion). The smoke
detector will automatically return from alarm to
normal state when the reason for activation, the
presence of smoke, is completely removed.
Fires are commonly caused by smoking
in bed, leaving children unattended or using
ammable cleaning uids. Please be safety
conscious and avoid unnecessary risk.
WARNING:
There is no way to ensure against
injury or loss of life in a fire; however,
the smoke detector is intended to help
reduce the risk of tragedy. Additional
smoke detectors may help reduce the
risk. Proper use and care of the smoke
detector could save lives.

Operation
When a 9 Volt DC battery is correctly
connected, the LED will ash every minute
and a loud alarm will sound when a product of
combustion is sensed.
NOTE:
The unit will not operate without a
battery. A battery flag will pop up
preventing the unit from being installed
to the mounting bracket without a
battery. Carbon zinc batteries average a
service life of one year. Alkaline batteries
average a service life of one to two years.
Testing
Simply press the test button on the smoke
alarm cover for approximately three seconds.
The alarm will sound if all electronic circuitry,
horn and battery are properly working. The
smoke alarm should be tested at least once a
week when the motorhome is in use, prior to
each trip and when the motorhome has been
in storage. When testing the smoke alarm it is
advised to stand at arm’s length.
