1. Operate the RESET/SILENCE button.
2. Immediately move to fresh air (outdoors or
by an open door or window) and execute
your family safety plan.
3. Do not re-enter the premises. If you are
unable to exit the premises do not move
away from the open door or window until
the emergency service responders have
arrived, the premises have been aired out
and your CO alarm remains in its normal
condition.
If your CO alarm reactivates within a 24-hour
period, repeat steps 1-3 and call a qualified

inspected by the technician. Make sure that
any motor vehicle is not and has not been
operating in an attached garage or adjacent
to your park trailer.
Batteries
The CO alarm will not function if the batteries
are missing, disconnected, dead, the wrong
type of battery is used or the batteries are
installed incorrectly. When the batteries
become weak, the CO alarm will "beep" (the
low battery warning). If the low battery
warning sounds, the batteries MUST be
replaced. Never disconnect the batteries to
silence the CO alarm.
Testing the CO alarm
Press and hold the test/reset button on the
front of the CO alarm for several seconds. If
the CO alarm does not test properly, replace it
immediately. Do not remove the following
label from your park trailer:

Maintenance
The CO alarm is pre-calibrated at the OEM
factory and requires no maintenance other
than to clean the outside casing occasionally
with a cloth. Ensure that the holes on the front
of the CO alarm are not blocked with dirt and
dust. DO NOT USE CLEANING AGENTS,
BLEACH OR POLISH.
If the CO alarm is not maintained and
functioning properly according to OEM
supplied instructions, you will not be
warned if carbon monoxide is present in
the air. Death or serious illness could result
from asphyxiation (inability to breathe) if
carbon monoxide is present.

The alarm cannot detect propane or sound
a warning for two minutes after it has been
turned on. The propane leak alarm is not a
smoke or fire alarm. The alarm will only
indicate the presence of propane gas at
the sensor. Explosive gas may be present
in other areas.
For your safety protection, a new park trailer
that contains a propane gas system with
propane consuming appliances must have a
propane leak detection device. Because the
chemical composition of propane is heavier
than air, the propane alarm is located near
the floor of the park trailer (leaking propane
tends to flow to and pocket in low areas). A lit
green LED indicates when the factory-
installed alarm is active. Individuals with
medical problems, or who are hard of hearing,
should consider using warning devices that
provide both audible and visual signals.
This alarm is designed to sense the presence
of 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. These chemicals can be found in
commonly used items such as deodorants,
