4. Setup

4.1 Choosing an Installation Location

For optimal performance and safety, consider the following when selecting a location for your CO detector:

• Install at least one detector on each level of your home, especially near sleeping areas.
• Place detectors where they will be heard by all occupants.
• Avoid placing the detector directly above or next to fuel-burning appliances.
• Do not install in areas with high humidity (e.g., bathrooms with showers) or extreme temperatures.
• Keep away from direct sunlight, vents, fans, and areas with heavy air currents that might prevent CO from reaching the sensor.
• Ensure the detector is not obstructed by furniture or curtains.

4.2 Powering On

The Koabbit Carbon Monoxide Detector is a plug-in device. Simply insert the detector into a standard AC electrical outlet. The plug can rotate freely to accommodate different outlet orientations.

4.3 Initial Self-Test

Upon plugging in, the detector will perform an automatic self-test. During this test, the digital display will cycle through numbers (e.g., 1111, 2222, etc.) and the alarm will sound briefly. This indicates that the unit is powering on correctly and its internal components are functioning. Once the test is complete, the display will show '0000' (or remain blank if no CO is detected) and the green 'POWER' light will illuminate.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Reading the Digital Display

The LED digital display shows the current carbon monoxide concentration in Parts Per Million (PPM). A reading of '0000' indicates no detectable CO. Any other number indicates the presence of CO.

5.2 Alarm Conditions

The detector is programmed to alarm at specific CO concentration levels and durations:

When an alarm is triggered, the red 'ALARM' light will flash, the digital display will show the detected CO level, and the 85dB audible alarm will sound. In case of an alarm, immediately move to fresh air and call emergency services.

5.3 Self-Test Procedure

To manually test the detector, press and hold the 'SELF-TEST' button. The alarm will sound, and the lights will flash, confirming that the alarm and display are working correctly. Release the button to stop the test. It is recommended to perform a self-test weekly.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and accuracy of your CO detector:

• Cleaning: Dust can accumulate on the detector and interfere with its operation. Gently vacuum or wipe the detector's exterior with a soft, damp cloth at least once a month. Do not use cleaning solvents or sprays directly on the unit.
• Regular Testing: Perform the self-test weekly as described in Section 5.3.
• Avoid Obstruction: Ensure that the air inlets on the detector are not blocked by dust, debris, or other objects.
