  1. Activate Unit: Once securely plugged in and the vehicle is unoccupied, press the On/Off button once to activate the unit. The LED indicator lights will illuminate, indicating that the unit is operating.
  2. Treatment Cycle: The unit will run for an 8-hour treatment cycle. During this time, ozone will be generated to neutralize odors.
  3. Deactivate Unit: To turn off the unit before the 8-hour cycle is complete, press the On/Off button again. The LED indicator lights will turn off.
  4. Ventilate Vehicle: After the treatment cycle is complete or the unit is turned off, open all vehicle doors and windows. Allow the vehicle to ventilate for at least 30 minutes before re-entering.

Note: The OZ20HD is not intended for continuous use or for use while the vehicle is occupied. Always follow safety guidelines.

6. Odor Elimination Technology

The ScentLok OZ20HD utilizes ozone (O3) to effectively eliminate odors. Ozone is a naturally occurring molecule that reacts with odor-causing compounds, breaking them down at a molecular level rather than simply masking them.

This process, known as oxidation, breaks down the chemical structure of the odor molecules, effectively eliminating the source of the smell. The OZ20HD's CycleClean technology helps moderate ozone output for maximum efficiency.

7. Maintenance

The ScentLok OZ20HD is designed for minimal maintenance. To ensure optimal performance and longevity:

  • Cleaning: Periodically wipe the exterior of the unit with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust or debris. Do not use liquid cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
  • Storage: When not in use, store the unit in its original packaging or a protective container in a cool, dry place.
  • Inspection: Before each use, visually inspect the unit for any signs of damage, such as cracks, frayed wires, or loose connections. Do not use if damaged.
