Regardless of the manufacturer’s suggested battery life, you MUST replace the battery once
the smoke alarm starts “beeping” (the low battery warning). For information on the correct
battery and battery installation for your smoke detector, refer to the smoke detector user’s
guide.
Replacement
Smoke alarms have a limited life and are not foolproof. Smoke alarms will wear out over
time like any appliance. Always replace the detector immediately if it is not working
properly, it displays any type of problem, or within five years of use. Refer to the smoke
detector manufacturer’s user guide for additional information.
Only use the replacement battery recommended by the smoke detector
manufacturer. The smoke detector alarm may not operate properly with other
batteries. Never use a rechargeable battery as it may not provide a constant
charge. Never disconnect the battery to silence the alarm.

Your recreation vehicle is equipped with a combination carbon monoxide (CO)/propane
alarm that is listed for use in recreation vehicles. The combination carbon monoxide/
propane alarm will only work if it is operational and maintained.
The alarm is wired directly to the 12-volt electrical system, with continuous power being
supplied by the recreation vehicle battery. There is no 9-volt battery power supply in the
carbon monoxide/propane alarm. If the battery cable is disconnected at the battery
terminals, the combination alarm will not work.
Be sure to read, understand and follow the owner’s information from the manufacturer
of the combination CO/propane alarm supplied in your Warranty Packet. This includes
information regarding the limited life of the alarm.
The carbon monoxide detector installed is intended for use in ordinary indoor
locations of recreation vehicles. It is not designed to comply with Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) commercial or industrial standards.
Do not disconnect the battery or the alarm.
Individuals with medical problems may consider using warning devices that
provide audible and visual signals for carbon monoxide concentrations under
30 PPM.
This alarm will only indicate the presence of carbon monoxide gas at the
sensor. Carbon monoxide gas may be present in other areas.
The ultimate responsibility for protection against toxic carbon monoxide
fumes rests solely on you. Installing a carbon monoxide/propane alarm is just
the first step in protecting your family from toxic carbon monoxide poisoning
