Smoke Alarm
The smoke alarm will only work properly if it is operational and maintained. They have a
limited life and will wear out over time. Immediately replace the detector if it is not work-
ing properly, if it displays any type of problem, or within five years of use. Be sure to read,
understand and follow the information provided by the smoke alarm manufacturer,
including information on the limited life of smoke alarms.
Be aware the smoke alarm is not fool proof and cannot detect fires if smoke does not reach it.
Anything preventing smoke from reaching the alarm may delay or prevent an alarm.
Though the alarm horn in this detector meets or exceeds current UL standards, it may not be
heard for reasons that include (but not limited to): a closed or partially closed door, other
noise from electronics, appliances or traffic.
This smoke alarm will not alert hearing impaired residents. Special
alarms with flashing strobe lights are recommended for the hearing im-
paired
Only use the replacement battery recommended by the smoke detector
manufacturer. The smoke detector alarm may not operate properly with
other batteries. Never use a rechargeable battery as it may not provide a
constant charge. Never disconnect the battery to silence the alarm.
Test the smoke alarm operation after the vehicle has been in storage,
before each trip and at least once per week during use. Do not disconnect
the battery or the alarm.
The smoke alarm is operational once the battery is correctly installed. It will not func-
tion if the battery is missing, disconnected, dead, the wrong type or not installed correctly.
It requires one standard 9V battery. Refer to the user's guide, for correct battery and
installation information,
The LED light will indicate the battery is functioning properly. When the production of
combustion is sensed, the smoke detector sounds a loud alarm that continues until the air is
cleared. The LED light will also give a visual indication of a sounding alarm.
When the battery becomes weak, the alarm will "beep" about once a minute indicating
a low battery. This warning should last for 30 days. You MUST replace the battery once the
alarms low battery warning (beep) starts to assure continued protection.
