Maintenance
Vacuum the alarm cover at least once a year. Clean the cover by hand using a cloth
dampened in clean water. Dry with a soft cloth. Do not spray the front panel of the alarm
with cleaning agents or waxes. This action may damage the sensor causing an alarm or
cause the alarm to malfunction. Do not paint the face of the alarm.
Testing the combination carbon monoxide/ propane alarm
The TEST/RESET button tests all ELECTRICAL functions of the alarm. The TEST/Mute
switch is located on the front of the alarm. Press and hold the test button for 1 second.
The alarm is working properly if the GREEN indicator light changes color to RED and the
horn beeps 4 times. The Gas LED should also blink red.

NOTE : Pressing the test button does not check the sensor operation. Refer to the
carbon monoxide/propane alarm manufacturers user’s manual provided in the Warranty
Packet for additional information on testing the sensors.
WARNING
Test the alarm operation after the RV has been in storage, before each trip and at
least once per week during use.
WARNING
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.
