Smoke Detector/Alarm

A battery-powered smoke detector/alarm is
mounted on the ceiling in the living/cooking area
of your motor home. Please read the smoke detec-
tor/alarm operating instructions for details on test-
ing and caring for this important safety device.
Test the smoke detector/alarm after the motor
home has been in storage, before each trip, and
at least once a week during use.
The smoke detector/alarm should never be dis-
abled due to nuisance or false alarm from cook-
ing smoke, a dusty furnace, etc.
Ventilate your motor home with fresh air and
the detector/alarm will shut off. Do not discon-
nect the battery.
Replace the battery once a year or immediately
when the low battery BEEP signal as described
in the operating instructions sounds.
Check the operation of your Smoke
Detector/Alarm by depressing the "test" but-
tom a minimum of once per month. For fur-
ther instructions regarding the Smoke
Detector/Alamr consult you instruction manual
located in the Owner's Information Packet.
If the smoke detector/alarm fails to operate
with new batteries, replace it with a new unit,
available through an authorized Fleetwood RV
Dealer.
