Monthly Testing
Press the TEST button on the face of the alarm
periodically (at least monthly) to check the
function of the alarm and condition of the battery.
If the alarm begins to beep every few seconds, the
battery may be weak and need replacement.
(Press the TEST button to be sure before replacing
the battery. If the alarm sounds, the battery may
still be okay. If the alarm still beeps every few
seconds, check the smoke detector also. The “low
battery” warning beep is similar on many alarm
devices, so the origin of this electronic sound can
be deceiving.)
Further Information
Please read the manufacturer’s guide. It includes
information on precautions, operational testing,
and battery/sensor replacement.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
A dry chemical fire extinguisher is located near the
floor by the side entrance door.
We recommend that you become thoroughly
familiar with the operating instructions displayed
on the side of the fire extinguisher or in the
information supplied in your Package.
We also recommend that you inspect the fire
extinguisher for proper charge at least once a
month.
WARNING
Do not test the fire extinguisher by
discharging it. Partial discharge can cause
leakage of pressure or contents which
would render the unit inoperative when
needed. When using the fire extinguisher,
aim the spray at the base of the fire.
SMOKE ALARM
Your motor home is equipped with a smoke alarm
located on the ceiling in the galley. This alarm
meets CSA Standard for operation of smoke
detection devices.
The smoke alarm should be tested for correct
operation each time the vehicle is brought out of
storage, before each trip, and at least once a week
during motor home use. To test the electronics,
firmly depress the button. To test that smoke
reaches the sensor, blow smoke in a careful, fire-
safe manner into your smoke alarm.
Your smoke alarm will not work without power.
Never remove the battery to quiet the alarm.
When your smoke alarm “beeps” about once a
minute the battery is weak. Install a new battery
immediately. Be sure to use only batteries
specified in manual or on unit.
Test unit after installing a new
battery.
Clean and vacuum the
openings on your smoke alarm
once a month.
Do not open the smoke alarm
or try to repair it. For replacement information see
warranty in Owner’s Manual.
Smoke alarms have technical limitations and may
not respond in all situations. FIRE PREVENTION is
your best safeguard.
