Regular Maintenance Of Smoke/Co Detector; Testing The Smoke/Co Detector; This Carbon Monoxide Detector Is Not - Airstream Rangeline 2023 Owner's Manual

Regular Maintenance of Smoke/CO Detector

The Smoke/CO detector has been designed to be
as maintenance-free as possible, but there are a few
simple things you must do to keep it working properly�
Use replacement batteries as indicated in the manual
included with the device and provided to you in the
Airstream owner's packet� The unit may not operate
properly with other batteries� Never use rechargeable
batteries since they may not provide a constant charge�

Testing the Smoke/CO Detector

Test it at least once a week� PRESS and HOLD the
TEST/SILENCE button 3-5 seconds until the unit starts
to alarm� During testing, you will see and hear the
following sequence:
• The Horn will sound 3 BEEPS, pause, 3 BEEPS�
The Power/Smoke LED flashes Red and the CO
LED will be OFF�
• Next the Horn will sound 4 BEEPS, pause, 4
BEEPS� The Power/Smoke LED will be OFF and
the CO LED flashes Red.
Clean the Smoke/CO Alarm at least once a month:
gently vacuum the outside of the alarm using your
household vacuum's soft brush attachment or use a
can of compressed air to clear away dust and debris
(sold at computer or office supply stores). Follow
manufacturer instructions for use� Never use water,
cleaners, or solvents since they may damage the unit�
If the alarm becomes contaminated by excessive dust
or debris causing unwanted alarms, replace the unit
immediately�
Test Units in your touring coach after the vehicle
has been in storage, before each trip, and at least
once a week while in use. If the alarm ever fails to
test correctly, have it replaced immediately. If the
alarm is not working properly, it cannot alert you
to a problem. Failure to test units used in RVs as
described may remove your protection.

WARNING

This Carbon Monoxide Detector Is Not

• Designed to detect any gas other than Carbon
Monoxide�
• To be seen as a substitute for the proper servicing of
fuel-burning appliances�
• To be used on an intermittent basis, or as a portable
alarm for spillage of combustion products from fuel-
burning appliances�
NOTE
This Carbon Monoxide detector is designed for
indoor use only. Do not expose to rain or moisture.
Do not knock or drop the alarm. Do not open
or tamper with the alarm as this could cause
malfunction. The detector will not protect against
the risk of Carbon Monoxide poisoning when the
batteries are dead or missing. The alarm will only
indicate the presence of Carbon Monoxide gas at
the sensor. Carbon Monoxide gas may be present
in other areas.
Important Safety Precautions

detector should be installed in or near every room
that has a fuel burning appliance such as any room
heaters, water heaters, cookers, grills, etc�
• Ensure that the alarm horn can be heard by all those
who are intended to hear it� Seek medical help if it
is suspected that a user of the RV is suffering from
Carbon Monoxide poisoning�
• If the alarm sounds, make sure to investigate the
problem� Ignoring the alarm may result in sickness,
injury or death� (CO may be present even if nothing
is seen or smelled by the user�)
• Room spaces should be well ventilated when
household cleaning supplies are used as these may
cause a false alarm�
