Smoke
Detector
A battery-powered smoke detector is mounted on the
ceiling in the living/cooking area of your motor home.
Please read the smoke detector operating instructions
for details on testing and caring for this important safety
device.
Test the smoke detector after the motor home has been
in storage, before each trip, and
at
least once a week
during use.
The smoke detector should never be disabled due to
nuisance or false alarm from cooking smoke, a dusty
furnace, etc. Ventilate your motor home with fresh air
and the alarm will shut off.
DO NOT DISCONNECTTHE
BATTERY.
Replace the battery once a year
or
immediately when
the low battery "beep" signal sounds.
If the smoke detector fails to operate with new batteries,
replace it with a new unit, available through an author-
ized Fleetwood Service Center.
