SECTION 1
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Monthly Testing
Press the TEST button on the face of the alarm
periodically (at least monthly) to check the func-
tion of the alarm and condition of the battery. If
the alarm begins to beep every few seconds, the
battery may be weak and need replacement.
(Press the TEST button to be sure before
replacing the battery. If the alarm sounds, the
battery may still be okay. If the alarm still beeps
every few seconds, check the smoke detector
also. The "low battery" warning beep is similar
on many alarm devices, so the origin of this
electronic sound can be deceiving.)
FURTHER INFORMATION
Please read the information provided by the
manufacturer, which is included in your Owner
InfoCase. It includes information on precautions,
operational testing, and battery/sensor replace-
ment.
EMERGENCY EXITS
Emergency Exit Windows
Your motor home is equipped with an emer-
gency exit window in the rear or side of the vehi-
cle which functions as an escape exit in an
emergency situation.
Rear Escape Window
In rear escape windows, the glass is installed
with a rubber extrusion, it is opened by pulling on
the red plastic loop located at the bottom of the
window, until the rubber cord in completely re-
moved. This allows the window to be pushed out.

RED LOOP
Instructions for removal are also located on a
label on the glass for quick reference and for pas-
sengers who may not be familiar with the exit.
Never remove or destroy this label.
WARNING
Use emergency window for emer-
gency exit only. Do not test for proper
operation.
If the cord is released by accident, but the
glass remains in place, the cord can be replaced
using a blunt instrument, preferably one made of
plastic. We suggest you contact your dealer for
assistance.
WARNING
Use care when exiting emergency
window, as broken glass may be
present in the exit area.
Side Escape Window
The side mounted escape window and option-
al thermopane back window is secured by two
red safety latches and can be opened by first re-
leasing these two latches and then pushing out-
ward on the lower part of the window. Identify
which type of emergency exit window is in your
vehicle.
Instructions for removal are also located near
the latches for quick reference and for passengers
who may not be familiar with the exit. Never re-
move or destroy this label.
