Airstream NTERSTATE CAUTION

D - 2

CAMPING

CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE ALARM HUSH FEATURE, IDENTIFY THE

SOURCE OF THE SMOKE AND BE CERTAIN A SAFE CONDITION EXISTS.

FLASHING L.E.D. LIGHT: This smoke detector is equipped with a ﬂashing red indica-

tor light. The light is located under the test button and will ﬂash every 30-40 seconds

to indicate that the smoke detector is receiving power.

TESTING: Test by pushing the test button on the cover and holding it down for a

minimum of 2 seconds. This will sound the alarm if all the electronic circuitry, horn and

battery are working. If no alarm sounds the unit has defective batteries or other failure.

You can also test the alarm by blowing smoke into it.

TEST THE ALARM WEEKLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. Erratic or low

sound coming from your alarm may indicate a defective detector, and it should be

returned for service.

FALSE ALARMS

Smoke detectors are designed to minimize false alarms. Cigarette smoke will not

normally set off the alarm, unless the smoke is blown directly into the detector.

Combustion particles from cooking may set off the alarm if the detector is located

close to the cooking area. Large quantities of combustible particles are generated from

spills or when broiling. Using the fan on a range hood which vents to the outside (non-

recirculating type) will also help remove these combustible products from the kitchen.

MODEL 0916 HAS A “HUSH” CONTROL that is extremely useful in a kitchen area

or other areas prone to nuisance alarms. For more information refer to OPERATION

AND TESTING.

If the detector does alarm, check for ﬁres ﬁrst. If a ﬁre is discovered, get out and call

the ﬁre department. If no ﬁre is present, check to see if other reasons may have caused

the alarm.

MAINTENANCE

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

To replace-the battery remove the detector from the mounting plate by rotating the

detector in the direction of the “OFF” arrow on the cover.

The Model 0916 Smoke Detector uses one (1) 9-volt battery. The SMOKE DETECTOR

is powered by a 9V carbon zinc battery (alkaline battery may also be used). A fresh

battery should last for one year under normal operating condition. This detector has a

low battery monitor circuit that will cause the detector to “chirp” approximately every

30-40 seconds for a minimum of seven (7) days when the battery gets low. Replace the

battery when this condition occurs. USE ONLY THE FOLLOWING 9 VOLT BATTERIES

FOR SMOKE DETECTOR REPLACEMENT

Carbon-zinc type: EVEREADY 216 OR 1222, GOLD PEAK 1604P OR 1604S

Alkaline type: EVEREADY 522; DURACELL MN 1604, Gold Peak 1604A

Lithium type: ULTRALIFE U9VL. NOTE:

REGULAR TESTING IS RECOMMENDED.

WARNING: USE ONLY THE BATTERIES SPECIFIED. USE OF DIFFERENT

BATTERIES MAY HAVE A DETRIMENTAL EFFECT ON THE SMOKE DETECTOR.

NOTE: IF AFTER BATTERY REPLACEMENT, THE UNIT CONTINUES TO CHIRP,

WAIT FOR APPROXIMATELY 7 MINUTES. THE “HUSH” FEATURE MAY HAVE BEEN

ACTIVATED ACCIDENTALLY WHILE CHANGING THE BATTERIES AND WILL RESET

AUTOMATICALLY
