SAFETY UNITY MOTORHOME
• Open doors, windows and roof vents to air out
motorhome and silence the alarm� Identify and
eliminate the source of the smoke.
• Replace the battery at least once per year, and
test the battery after replacement. Remove the
cover to replace the battery.
• Clean and vacuum opening on smoke alarm
once a month�
Do not remove the battery to silence the
alarm. If the alarm “beeps” every minute, the
battery is weak and requires replacement.
Do not allow the battery to go dead. Use
only recommended replacement batteries
(see Smoke Detector operator’s manual
in Motorhome Information Kit for detailed
instructions).
WARNING
• Test the smoke alarm before each trip by
depressing the test button
2
. Test the smoke
alarm after removing the motorhome from
storage, before each trip and weekly thereafter.
Test the smoke alarm sensor by blowing smoke
(from a safe, re-free source) past the sensor. If
the alarm does not sound, identify and correct
the source of the problem or replace the smoke
alarm�
• Make sure the wires are properly connected to
the device battery. Position and close cover.
• If you suspect the smoke alarm is not functioning
properly, replace the alarm - do NOT attempt to
repair it�
Smoke alarms are not perfect and do not
respond in all situations. The best safeguard
is re prevention.
