Safety Devices
W ARNING
Never ignore alarms on safety devices. If the alarm
sounds and you are not absolutely certain of the
source, get everyone out of the recreational
vehicle immediately.
• Always have a plan of escape. Update and practice
your escape plan every six months.
• Have a meeting and discuss the plan, showing
everyone what to do including guests.
• Do not waste time by picking up valuables or getting
dressed. Sometimes seconds count!
• Vacuum any dust off the alarm weekly using the soft
brush attachment.
• DO NOT spray cleaning agents or waxes directly
onto the detector as it may cause damage to the
sensor.
Smoke Detector
• Smoke alarms may not have time to alarm before
the fire causes damage, injury or even death.
• A smoke detector works for only detecting smoke,
not fire.
• The alarm will sound only if smoke reaches the
sensor.
• Check the battery/s at least once a week while the
RV is in use.
• This unit will not alert hearing-impaired residents.
(Special alarms with flashing strobe lights are
needed for the hearing impaired.)
• Smoke alarms have a limited life and are not
foolproof.
• Never attempt to repair this unit; replace if faulty.
• Never disconnect the battery to silence the alarm.

carbon monoxide from any source of combustion. It
is NOT designed to detect smoke, fire or any other
gases.

NOT remove batteries except for replacement.
