Section 2: Occupant Safety
What you should do if the alarm sounds
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 auto-
matically 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.
1.
Operate the RESET/SILENCE button.
Call your emergency services (fire department or 911).
2.
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 appli-
ance 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 monox-
ide safety and this alarm.
Alarm signals
Normal operation: The LED will maintain a steady green light, indicating that
the alarm is powered.
CO alarm condition: The red LED light will remain steady and the alarm will
sound 4 "BEEPS" then silent for 5 seconds. These signals indicate immediate

Propane gas alarm: The red LED flash and the alarm will sound a steady tone.
These signals indicate immediate action is required.
Alarm malfunction/low battery: The gas LED will remain off and the Opera-

End of life alarm: The LED will flash red/red, green/green and the alarm will

Maintenance
Vacuum the alarm cover at least once a year. Clean the cover by hand using a cloth damp-
ened 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.
