children unattended
flammable fluids. The smoke detector is
intended to help reduce those risks.
Your RV is equipped with a smoke alarm that
is listed for use in a recreation vehicle. They
are not fool proof. Smoke alarms only work if
they are operational and maintained. Be sure
to read, understand and follow the owner's
information from the manufacturer of the
smoke alarm included in your Warranty
Packet, including information regarding the
limited life of smoke alarms.
Please be aware the smoke alarm cannot
detect fires if the smoke does not reach it.
Anything preventing smoke from reaching the
alarm may delay or prevent an alarm (i.e., a
closed door may
reaching an alarm on the other side of the
door, etc.).
This smoke alarm will not alert hearing
impaired residents.

UL standards, it may not be heard for many
reasons. These include (but not limited to): a

Operation
The smoke alarm is operational once the
battery is correctly installed. 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 testing as the alarm horn may be
harmful to your hearing. The alarm horn is

button will accurately test all functions. Never
use an open flame from a match or lighter to
test this smoke alarm.
