Smoke Detector; Operation; How To Test - Holiday Navigator 2003 Owner's Manual

Statistics show that most fire casualties are not caused
by direct flame, but by less visible smoke (products of
combustion). The smoke detector responds to both visible
and invisible products of combustion. The smoke detector
will automatically return from alarm to normal state when
the reason for activation, the presence of smoke, is
completely removed. Fires are commonly caused by smoking
in bed, leaving children unattended or using flammable
cleaning fluids. Please be safety conscious and avoid
unnecessary risk.
WARNING: There is no way to insure there will
be no injury or loss of life in a fire; however, the
smoke detector is intended to help reduce the risk
of tragedy. Additional smoke detectors may help
to reduce the risk. Proper use and care of the
smoke detector could save lives.
When a 9 Volt DC battery is correctly connected, the smoke alarm is
operating. The LED will flash every minute showing the battery is supplying
power. A load alarm will sound when a production of combustion is sensed.
NOTE: The unit will not operate without a battery. A battery
flag will pop up preventing the unit from being installed to
the mounting bracket without a battery. Carbon zinc batteries
average a service life of one year. Alkaline batteries average a
service life of one to two years.
Simply press the test button on the smoke alarm cover for approximately
three seconds. The alarm will sound if all electronic circuitry, horn and battery
are working properly. The smoke alarm should be tested at least once a week
when the motorhome is in use, prior to each trip and when the motorhome has
been in storage. When testing the smoke alarm it is advised to stand at arms
length.
CAUTION: Never use an open flame to test the smoke alarm.
You may ignite and set fire to the alarm and to the
motorhome.
