In the event of an alarm, the following steps should be taken quickly:
1. If the alarm signal sounds (4 beeps and flashing or solid red light), operate the Test/Mute button.
2. Immediately move to a source of fresh air, either outdoors or by an open door or window. Do a “head count”
to make sure that all people (and pets!) within the motor home have moved to a source of fresh air, too. Do not
reenter the motor home or move away from the source(s) of fresh air until the emergency responders have
arrived, the motor-home interior is sufficiently aired out, and the alarm has reverted to its normal monitoring
function (i.e., no alarms).
3. Call the local emergency services (i.e., 911 in most locales) to summon help – don’t go back into the motor
home to make this call, but use a cell phone, if available, or have someone else nearby make this call.
4. Should the CO/LP gas Detector Alarm again activate within a 24-hour period, repeat Steps 1 through 3 and
also call a qualified service technician to investigate the possible sources of CO (e.g., fuel-burning equipment
and appliances) to locate, identify, and fix such.
Warning
Never sleep in a motor home when the engine is running—engine exhaust fumes
could enter the motor home and cause disability or death. Regularly check the
exhaust system to note any leakage sites and, if found, discontinue use of the
motor home until they are repaired by a competent, qualified service technician.
Do not attempt repairs on the exhaust system yourself and do not modify
(temporarily or permanently) the exhaust system at all.
Warning
To test the alarm’s operation after each storage period, before each trip or at least
once per week during use.
