S\IOKE DETECTOR
,-\ smoke detector is centrally located in the ceiling of your motorhome.
The alarm horn and the indicator light on your detector lets vou know
\vhether your detector is working right.
When the indicator light, which you can see through the clear push button
of
the
test switch,
flashes
once
a
minute,
the detector is operating
normally.
(Model 83P has a white push button and does not flash.)
When the alarm is sounding the detector has sensed smoke or combustion
particles in the air.
The alarm will automatically turn off when the smoke
in the air is completely gone.
If the alarm horn beeps once a minute the detector's battery is weak and
needs to be replaced immediately.
How to take care of your detector.
Your smoke detector has been designed to be as maintenance free as
possible.
To keep your detector in good working order you must:
Test the detector regularly (weekly is recommended) by pressing on the test
switch for up to 10 seconds until the alarm sounds.
It is a good idea to
test the detector after storage and before each trip.
Make sure your
family hears the detector and knows how to react.
Replace the battery once a year or immediately when the low battery
"beep" signal sounds once per minute.
The low battery signal should last at
least 30 days.
This detector uses standard nine volt batteries.
The detector will work
properly with the following batteries.
Eveready #522, #1222, #216
Duracell # MN 1604
Gold Peak # 1604P, # 1604S
Eveready and Duracell batteries are available at any retail store that sells
batteries.
WARNING:
Do
not use any other
kind
of battery.
The detector may not
operate properly with other batteries.
Vacuum the dust off the detector sensing chamber at least once a year.
This can be done when you open the detector to replace the battery.
Remove the battery before cleaning.

carefully remove any dust on the detector components, especially on the
openings of the sensing chamber.
Replace the battery after cleaning.
