Clean the Smoke Alarm at least once a month; gently vacuum the outside of the
Smoke Alarm using your house hold vacuum's soft brush attachment. Test the
Smoke Alarm. Never use water, cleaners or solvents since they may damage the

•
If the Smoke Alarm becomes contaminated by excessive dirt, dust and/or grime,
and cannot be cleaned to avoid unwanted alarms, replace the unit immediately.
•
Relocate the unit if it sounds frequent unwanted alarms. See product manual
under "Locations to Avoid for Smoke Alarms" for details.

Your Smoke Alarm requires one standard 9V battery. The following batteries are
acceptable as replacements: Duracell #MN1604, (Ultra)
(Energizer) #522. You may also use a Lithium battery like the Ultralife U9VL-J for
longer service life between battery changes.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, tasteless, odorless gas. It is a by-product of combustion
in the engine, generator and propane appliances. The engines in your motorhome and
generator system produce it constantly while they are running. CARBON MONOXIDE
IS DEADLY. Please read and understand the following precautions to protect yourself
and others from the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
DO NOT ALTER OR MODIFY ANY COMPONENT OF THE
EXHAUST SYSTEM AT ANY TIME. Inspect the exhaust
system at regular intervals for damage. If you suspect or
locate damage to the system, have it repaired immediately
by a qualified service facility.
NEVER SLEEP WHILE THE ENGINE OR GENERATOR
IS RUNNING. Be aware of carbon monoxide poisoning
and its symptoms: Dizziness, Severe Headache,
Vomiting, Weakness, Sleepiness, Muscular Twitching,
and Throbbing in Temples. If anyone in the motorhome
experiences any of these symptoms, shut off the engine,
and immediately go outside into fresh air. Get medical
attention as soon as possible.
