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.

Your RV 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 RV 12-volt electrical system, with continual
power being supplied by the RV 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 that has been supplied in your
Warranty Packet. 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 feeling well, they become so disoriented they are
unable to save themselves by either exiting the 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 appliances, furnaces, fireplaces and auto exhaust. A carbon
monoxide/propane alarm is
NOT A SUBSTITUTE for other combustible gas, fire
or smoke alarms. This carbon monoxide alarm is designed to detect carbon
monoxide gas from ANY source of combustion. 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.
