8. Alarms and Alerts
The BOSEAN K-100A-CO detector employs a multi-alert system to ensure you are promptly notified of hazardous CO levels:
- Audible Alarm: A loud sound alerts users to detected gas.
- Visual Alarm: Flashing lights provide a clear visual warning.
- Vibration Alarm: The device vibrates, offering a tactile alert, especially useful in noisy environments or when the device is clipped to clothing.
- Low Battery Alarm: When the battery level is low, the detector will emit a slow, short alarm approximately every minute to remind the user to recharge.
