you clean any debris, enter, move or repair the
RV (failure to notify Jayco may result in loss of

Three of the most common fire safety issues
are
smoking
in
bed,
unattended and cleaning with flammable
fluids. There is no way to guarantee against
injury or loss of life in a fire; however, the
smoke alarm is intended to help reduce those
risks. This smoke alarm will not alert hearing
impaired residents. Special alarms with
flashing strobe lights must be installed for the
hearing impaired.
Proper use and care of your smoke alarm may
save your life. Smoke alarms can only work if
they
are
properly
operational and maintained and if smoke
reaches them. They are not foolproof. Your RV
is equipped with a battery powered smoke
alarm that is listed to UL 10/1/99 smoke alarm
standard for Residential and Recreational
Vehicles.

operational once the 9-volt battery is correctly
connected. The LED will flash to show the
battery is supplying power to the alarm. When
the product of combustion is sensed, the
smoke alarm sounds a loud alarm that
continues until the air is cleared. Do not
remove the following label from your RV:
