cannot work if the AC power is cut off for any reason (open fuse or circuit
breaker, failure along a power line or at a power station, electrical fire that burns
the electrical wires, etc.). If you are concerned about the limitations of battery
or AC power, install both types of units.
This Smoke/CO Alarm will not sense smoke or CO that does not reach
the sensors. It will only sense smoke or CO at the sensor. Smoke or CO may
be present in other areas. Doors or other obstructions may affect the rate at
which CO or smoke reaches the sensors. Consider installing another alarm
device (Combination CO and Smoke Alarm, or separate CO Alarms and Smoke
Alarms) if you habitat areas you believe need protection.
Smoke/CO Alarms may not be heard. The alarm horn loudness meets or
exceeds current UL standards of 85 dB at 10 feet (3 meters). However, the
Smoke/CO Alarm may not wake up a sound sleeper or one who has recently
used drugs or has been drinking alcoholic beverages. This is especially true if
the door is closed or only partly open. Even persons who are awake may not
hear the alarm horn if the sound is blocked by distance or closed doors. Noise
from traffic, stereo, radio, television, air conditioner, or other appliances may
also prevent alert persons from hearing the alarm horn. This Smoke/CO Alarm
is not intended for people who are hearing impaired.
The Alarm may not have time to alarm before the fire itself causes dam-
age, injury, or death, since smoke from some fires may not reach the unit
immediately. Examples of this include persons smoking in bed, children
playing with matches, or fires caused by violent explosions resulting from
escaping gas.
This Smoke/CO Alarm is not a substitute for life insurance. Though this
Smoke/CO Alarm warns against increasing CO levels or the presence of
smoke, Airstream Inc. and/or BRK Brands, Inc. does not warrant or imply in
any way that they will protect lives. Motorhome owners and users must still
insure their lives.
This Smoke/CO Alarm has a limited life. Although this Smoke/CO Alarm and
all of its parts have passed many stringent tests and are designed to be as
reliable as possible, any of these parts could fail at any time. Therefore, you
must test this device weekly. The unit should be replaced immediately if it is not
operating properly. Any Smoke/CO Alarm that is beyond its replacement date
should be replaced immediately.
This Smoke/CO Alarm is not foolproof. Like all other electronic devices, this
Smoke/CO Alarm has limitations. It can only detect smoke or CO that reaches
the sensors. It may not give early warning of the source of smoke or CO is in a
remote part of the motorhome, away from the alarm device.
