Setup
Unpacking:
Carefully remove the gas detector and its accessories from the packaging. Verify that all components are present: Gas detector x1, Manual.
Placement:
Choose a suitable location for the detector. Combustible gases like natural gas (methane) are lighter than air and rise, while LPG (propane, butane) is heavier than air and sinks.
- For Natural Gas (Methane): Install the detector 12 inches (30 cm) below the ceiling and 60 inches (150 cm) away from the gas source.
- For LPG (Propane, Butane): Install the detector 12 inches (30 cm) above the floor and 60 inches (150 cm) away from the gas source.
- Avoid placing near ventilation fans, doors, windows, or areas with high humidity or extreme temperatures.
Power Connection:
The HAKINAKU HD05 is a plug-in device.
- Plug the detector directly into a standard 110V to 240V AC outlet.
- The device will automatically power on and begin its self-check process.
- The built-in 1000 mAh lithium-ion backup battery will charge automatically when plugged in.

Operating Instructions
Initial Self-Check:
Upon plugging in, the detector will perform a self-check. The screen will cycle through various indicators. Once complete, it will display "GAS" with a green icon, indicating normal operation.
Normal Operation:
In normal operation, the screen displays "GAS" with a green icon, current temperature, and humidity.
Alarm Indications:
The detector provides both audible and visual alarms based on gas concentration levels:
- No Combustible Gas: Green icon, no alarm sound.
- Low Concentrations: Yellow icon blinks, alarm sounds once every 2 minutes.
- Medium Concentrations: Orange icon blinks, alarm sounds once every 2 minutes.
- High Concentrations: Red icon blinks, alarm sounds continuously.

What to do during an alarm:
- Do not operate electrical switches or phones.
- Immediately open all windows and doors to ventilate the area.
- Turn off the gas supply at the main valve if safe to do so.
- Evacuate all occupants from the building.
- Call the gas company or emergency services from a safe location outside the building.
- Do not re-enter the building until it has been declared safe by professionals.
Self-Test Function:
To manually test the detector, short press the 'O' (OK/Select) button. The device will perform a self-test, activating the alarm sound and visual indicators briefly.

Mute Function:
In case of an alarm, you can temporarily mute the audible alarm by pressing the 'H' button. The visual alarm will continue to indicate the gas presence.
Screen Brightness Adjustment:
Press the 'D' button to adjust the screen brightness.
Maintenance
Cleaning:
Clean the detector regularly to prevent dust accumulation.
- Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior.
- Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasives, or solvents.
- Ensure no liquids enter the device openings.
Battery Care:
The built-in lithium-ion battery provides backup power during outages.
- The battery charges automatically when the device is plugged into an AC outlet.
- A fully charged battery provides approximately 12-15 hours of emergency operation.
- The battery is designed for a long lifespan (7 years) and is not user-replaceable.
Regular Testing:
It is recommended to test the detector weekly by pressing the self-test button.
Troubleshooting
No Power/Display Off:
- Ensure the detector is securely plugged into a working AC outlet.
- Check if the power outlet is functional by plugging in another device.
- If the device is running on battery backup, ensure the battery is charged.
False Alarms:
- Verify there are no actual gas leaks.
- Check for sources of other combustible vapors (e.g., aerosols, cleaning products, alcohol) near the detector.
- Ensure proper placement away from strong air currents or high humidity.
Alarm Sounds Continuously (Red Icon):
- This indicates a high concentration of combustible gas. Follow emergency procedures immediately.
Yellow/Orange Icon Blinking, Alarm Sounds Intermittently:
- This indicates low to medium gas concentrations. Investigate potential minor leaks or sources of gas.
Red Light (Alarm) or Sensor Malfunction:
If the red light indicates a sensor malfunction or persistent error, contact customer support.
