• To power off the device, press and hold the Power button until the display turns off. The meter will automatically shut down after 10 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery life.

Reading Measurements:

• Once powered on, the device will immediately begin detecting CO levels. The CO concentration will be displayed in Parts Per Million (PPM) on the main part of the LCD.
• The ambient temperature will be displayed below the CO reading. Press the °C/°F button to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit.

Alarm Function:

• The device features a safety alarm that activates continuously when the CO concentration exceeds 200 PPM.
• Upon alarm activation, an audible alert will sound, indicating a potentially dangerous CO level. Take immediate action to ventilate the area and identify the source of CO.

Data Retention:

• The device supports a data retention function. Refer to the on-screen indicators or specific button presses (if applicable, not detailed in general description) to activate or view retained data.

6. Maintenance

Cleaning:

• Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
