NOTE
This carbon monoxide alarm is designed for indoor
use only. Do not expose to rain or moisture. Do not
knock or drop the alarm. Do not open or tamper
with the alarm as this could cause malfunction. The
alarm will not protect against the risk of carbon
monoxide poisoning when the batteries are dead or
missing. The alarm will only indicate the presence
of carbon monoxide gas at the sensor. Carbon
monoxide gas may be present in other areas.

Important Safety Precautions

• Carbon monoxide (CO) is produced by the
incomplete combustion of fuels such as wood,
charcoal, coal, heating oil, paraffin, gasoline, natural
gas, propane, butane, etc�
• Ideally, it is recommended that a CO alarm should be
installed in or near every room that has a fuel burning
appliance such as any room heaters, water heaters,
cookers, grills, etc�
• Ensure that the alarm horn can be heard by all those
who are intended to hear it� Seek medical help if it
is suspected that a user of the RV is suffering from
carbon monoxide poisoning�
• If the alarm sounds, make sure to investigate the
problem� Ignoring the alarm may result in sickness,
injury or death� (CO may be present even if nothing
is seen or smelled by the user�)
• Room spaces should be well ventilated when
household cleaning supplies are used as these may
cause a false alarm�
• Alarm should be tested once per week� If further
details are required, which do not appear in this
manual, contact BRK Brands Inc� First Alert�

What Is Carbon Monoxide

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a highly poisonous gas that
is released when fuels are burned� It is invisible, has
no smell, and is therefore very difficult to detect with
the human senses� Under normal conditions, in a room
where fuel-burning appliances are well maintained and
correctly ventilated, the amount of CO released into the
room by appliances is not dangerous�
These fuels include wood, coal, charcoal, oil, natural
gas, gasoline, kerosene, and propane� Common
appliances are often sources of CO� If they are not
properly maintained, are improperly ventilated, or
malfunction, CO levels can rise quickly� CO is a real
danger in air-tight trailers with added insulation, sealed
windows, and other weatherproofing that can trap CO
inside�
