LARM
Some of the most common fire safety issues are burning candles, smoking in bed, leaving
children unattended and cleaning with flammable fluids. The smoke detector is intended
to help reduce those risks.
Your vehicle is equipped with a smoke alarm that is listed for use in Recreation Vehicles.
They are not fool proof. Smoke alarms only work if they are operational and maintained.
Be sure to read, understand and follow the user information provided from the
manufacturer of the smoke alarm, 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 prevent smoke from reaching an alarm on the other side of the door, etc.).
There are instances when the smoke detector alarm may not be heard. Though the alarm
horn in this detector meets or exceeds current UL standards, it may not be heard for many
reasons. These include (but not limited to): a closed or partially closed door, the alarm
may be drowned out by other noise like the TV, stereo, traffic, weather, air conditioner or
other appliances.
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.
How to test
Stand at arm's length from the smoke alarm when testing as the alarm horn may be harmful
to your hearing. The alarm horn is loud to alert you to an emergency. The test button will
accurately test all functions. Never use an open flame from a match or lighter to test this
smoke alarm.
A warning label is located near the smoke alarm Please do not remove the following label
from your recreation vehicle:
