It is not designed to detect smoke, fire or any other gas. Please note that there are hazards
against which carbon monoxide detection may not be effective, such as natural gas leaks or
explosions.
This alarm is designed to sense the presence of carbon monoxide/propane gas, however
there are other combustible fumes or vapors that may be detected by the sensor including
(but not limited to ): acetone, alcohol, butane and gasoline.
These chemicals can be found in commonly used items such as deodorants, colognes,
perfumes, adhesives, lacquer, kerosene, glues, wine, liquor, most cleaning agents and the
propellants of aerosol cans.
High temperatures can activate glue and adhesive vapors. If you close up the recreation
vehicle on a hot day, the chemicals used in its construction may be detected for months after
the vehicle was constructed (for more information, refer to Section 2, Formaldehyde).
What you should do if the alarm sounds
1. Operate the RESET/SILENCE button.
2. Call your emergency services (fire department or 911).
3. Immediately move to fresh air (outdoors or by an open door or window)
4. Do not re-enter the premises or move away from the open door or window until the
emergency service responders have arrived, the premises have been aired out, and your
alarm remains in its normal condition.
If your alarm reactivates within a 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-4 and call a qualified
appliance technician to investigate for sources of carbon monoxide from fuel burning
equipment and appliances, and inspect for proper operation of this equipment. Make sure
that motor vehicle(s) are not, and have not been, operating in an attached garage or adjacent
to the recreation vehicle.
If problems are identified during this inspection, have the alarm serviced immediately. Note
any combustion equipment not inspected by the technician and consult the manufacturer’s
instructions or contact the manufacturer directly for more information about carbon
monoxide safety and this alarm.
Actuation of this detector indicates the presence of carbon monoxide which
can kill you.

Never turn the 12-volt battery disconnect control to the off position and
disconnect the battery cable to silence an alarm. The alarm will automatically
sense when the level of carbon monoxide in the air reaches below dangerous
levels. You should stay outside the vehicle in fresh air until the alarm is
silenced. When the alarm sounds, do not stand too close to the alarm. The
sound produced by the alarm is loud because it is designed to wake a person
in an emergency. Prolonged exposure to the alarm at a close distance may be
harmful to your hearing.:
