USING THE TAMPER RESIST LOCKING MECHANISM
To make the smoke alarm somewhat tamper resistant, a “locking pin” has been provided
in the base of the unit. It will help deter a child or other individual from removing the
smoke alarm from the bracket. See Figure 7. The following directions can install this.
1. Remove the breakaway locking pin from the unit by rocking pin back and forth.
2. Put the smoke alarm back on the mounting bracket. (See section “HOW TO INSTALL
YOUR SMOKE ALARM.”)
3. Using long-nose pliers grab the head of the locking pin and insert into hole located
on the side of the smoke alarm. See Figure 8.
4. The Tamper Resist feature is now installed and complete.
To Remove:
5. Using long-nose pliers grasp the head of the locking pin and pull the pin completely
out of the smoke alarm.
6. The smoke alarm can now be removed from the mounting bracket with a counter-
clockwise twist.
SPECIAL SMOKE ALARM FEATURES
If your smoke alarm has one or more of these special features, read the following:
• BLINKING LED LIGHT (Models B, C, E and PB): The indicator light under the
Push-to Test button blinks about once per minute to indicate the smoke alarm
is receiving power.
WARNING: Very thick smoke may obscure the light.
WARNING: Detector Battery is shipped deactivated: To activate battery,
new Airstream owner must install included battery to proper orientation.
LP GAS DETECTOR
In the kitchen area of your unit, approximately six inches above the floor, is the LP
gas detector. LP gas is a mixture of gases produced and sold commercially as a fuel
for heating and cooking appliances. LP gas is highly flammable and, as a result, can
be explosive if ignited under certain circumstances. LP gas is heavier than air and,
if confined in a closed space, will accumulate close to the floor. When the LP gas
concentration in your unit exceeds 2000 PPM the detector will provide a visual and
audible alarm by sounding a buzzer and flashing the red LED two times per second.
WARNING: Activation of this detector indicates the presence of LP gas,
which can cause an explosion and/or fire. This normally indicates a leak in the
LP gas installation or a LP gas appliance. Extinguish all open flames, open your
windows and door and evacuate the unit immediately. Do not activate any electri-
cal switch. Turn off the LP at your gas bottle(s). DO NOT RE-ENTER YOUR UNIT
UNTIL A QUALIFIED REPAIR TECHNICIAN HAS CORRECTED THE PROBLEM.
