Safety Devices
W ARNING
Never ignore alarms on safety devices. If the alarm
sounds and you are not absolutely certain of the
source, get everyone out of the recreational
vehicle immediately.
•
Always have a plan of escape. Update and practice
your escape plan every six months.
•
Have a meeting and discuss the plan, showing
everyone what to do including guests.
•
Do not waste time by picking up valuables or getting
dressed. Sometimes seconds count!
•
Vacuum any dust off the alarm weekly using the soft
brush attachment.
•
DO NOT spray cleaning agents or waxes directly
onto the detector as it may cause damage to the
sensor.
Smoke Detector
•
Smoke alarms may not have time to alarm before
the fire causes damage, injury or even death.
•
A smoke detector works for only detecting smoke,
not fire.
•
The alarm will sound only if smoke reaches the
sensor.
•
Check the battery/s at least once a week while the
RV is in use.
•
This unit will not alert hearing-impaired residents.
(Special alarms with flashing strobe lights are
needed for the hearing impaired.)
•
Smoke alarms have a limited life and are not
foolproof.
•
Never attempt to repair this unit; replace if faulty.
•
Never disconnect the battery to silence the alarm.
