LARM
Three of the most common fire safety issues
are smoking in bed, leaving children
unattended and cleaning with flammable
fluids. There is no way to guarantee against
injury or loss of life in a fire; however, the
smoke alarm is intended to help reduce those
risks. Individuals with medical problems, or
who are hard of hearing, should consider
using warning devices that provide both
audible and visual signals.
Proper use and care of your smoke alarm
may save your life. Smoke alarms can only
work if they are properly located, installed,
operational and maintained and if smoke
reaches them. They are not foolproof. Do not
remove the following label from your RV:

Operation
The factory-installed ceiling mounted smoke
alarm is operational once the 9-volt battery is
correctly connected. The LED will flash to
show the battery is supplying power to the
alarm. When the product of combustion is
sensed, the smoke alarm sounds a loud
alarm that continues until the air is cleared.
How to test
Stand at arm's length from the smoke alarm
when testing. The alarm horn is loud and may
be harmful to your hearing. The test button
will accurately test all functions. Never use an
open flame from a match or lighter to test the
smoke alarm; you may ignite and set fire to
Avoid inhaling the dry chemical agent in
the fire extinguisher. It is not toxic, but may
cause skin irritation. In case of contact,
flush the affected area with clean, cool
water. If irritation persists, contact a
physician immediately.
