When the battery becomes weak, the alarm will
“beep” about once a minute indicating a low bat-
tery.
This warning should last for 30 days. You
MUST
replace the battery once the alarms low battery warning
(beep) starts to assure continued protection.
When the battery is removed from the alarm, the bat-
tery flag will pop up; the alarm cannot be installed to
the mounting bracket without a battery.
To test,
stand at arm’s length from the smoke alarm
as 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 to test
the smoke alarm.
Do not remove the warning label located near the smoke alarm from your recreation
vehicle:

Maintenance
Vacuum off any dust on the cover of the smoke alarm using a soft brush attachment. Test the

smoke alarm as they may damage the alarm. Do not paint the smoke alarm.
Refer to and follow detailed safety, testing, troubleshooting and maintenance information
found in the manufacturer’s user pamphlet located in your warranty packet.
Combination Carbon Monoxide /Propane Alarm
Your recreation vehicle is equipped with a combination carbon monoxide (CO) / propane
alarm (RVCOLP) that is listed for use in recreation vehicles. The combination carbon mon-
oxide/propane alarm will only work if it is operational and maintained.
The alarm is directly wired to the 12-volt electrical system, with continuous power being
supplied by the recreational vehicle batteries. There is no 9-volt battery power supply. As
a result, the alarm is always drawing a small amount of current from the recreation vehicle
batteries. Although the current draw is slight, it could drain the batteries during extended
storage periods. This condition is not likely to occur except during storage situations when
the inverter cannot restore the battery charge.
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. This includes information regarding the limited life of the alarm.
Carbon monoxide (CO) is an insidious poison. It is a colorless, odorless and tasteless gas.
Many cases of reported carbon monoxide poisoning indicate while victims are aware they
are not well, they become so disoriented they are unable to save themselves by either exiting
the recreational vehicle or calling for assistance. Young children and household pets may
be the first affected.
Your combination carbon monoxide/propane alarm is designed to detect the toxic carbon
monoxide fumes that result from incomplete combustion, such as those emitted from appli-
ances, furnaces, fireplaces and auto exhaust.
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 concentra-
tions 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 mon-
oxide 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.
The following symptoms are related to carbon
monoxide poisoning and
should be discussed with all members of the
household:
Mild exposure:
Slight headache, nausea, vomiting, fatigue (often de-
scribed as “flu-like” symptoms).
Medium exposure:
Severe throbbing headaches, drowsiness, confu-
sion, fast heart rate.
Extreme exposure:
Unconsciousness, convulsions, cardio-respiratory
failure, death.
