2. Setup

2.1 Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge the AGT-3000 using the provided Type-C charging cable. The device is equipped with a rechargeable battery, eliminating the need for disposable batteries.

2.2 Power On and Calibration

To power on the device, press and hold the power button. The device will perform a brief self-test and calibration sequence, indicated by a countdown on the screen. Once complete, it will display '0 PPM' in a clean air environment.

2.3 Testing Before Use

It is recommended to test the detector's functionality before relying on it for safety. You can perform a simple test using a controlled source of combustion:

Test with Cigarette Smoke: Briefly expose the sensor to cigarette smoke. The PPM reading should increase.
Test with Paper Burning in Low-Oxygen Conditions: Carefully burn a small piece of paper in a confined, low-oxygen area (e.g., under a glass jar) and expose the sensor to the smoke. The PPM reading should increase significantly.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Power On/Off

To Power On: Press and hold the power button until the screen illuminates.
To Power Off: Press and hold the power button until the screen turns off.

3.2 CO Level Display

The device continuously monitors carbon monoxide levels and displays them in Parts Per Million (PPM) on the screen. The detection range is 0-1000 PPM.

5. Troubleshooting

Device not turning on: Ensure the device is fully charged. Connect it to a power source using the Type-C cable.
No CO reading in suspected area: Verify the device is powered on and calibrated. Ensure the sensor is not obstructed.
False alarms: Move the device to a well-ventilated area. If the alarm persists, contact customer support.
Screen not responding: Try restarting the device. If the issue continues, contact customer support.

6. Safety Information

6.1 About Carbon Monoxide (CO)

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colorless, tasteless, odorless toxic gas. Because it is difficult to detect, it is often referred to as the "invisible killer." Inhaling high concentrations can pose serious health risks and even lead to death.

Graphic explaining Carbon Monoxide (CO) as a colorless, tasteless, odorless toxic gas, known as the 'invisible killer.' — Carbon monoxide (CO) is a dangerous gas that is difficult to detect without a specialized device.

6.2 Potential Sources of Carbon Monoxide

Be aware of potential CO sources in your environment:

Fireplaces
Water heaters
Gas stoves
Barbecue grills
Portable heaters
Car exhaust

Note: The above sources do not necessarily produce carbon monoxide, but can if not properly maintained or ventilated.

6.3 Dangers of Carbon Monoxide Exposure

Symptoms of CO poisoning can include:

Headache
Nausea
Dizziness
Nerve Damage
Unconsciousness

Images illustrating the dangers of carbon monoxide exposure: headache, nausea, nerve damage, and unconsciousness. — Exposure to carbon monoxide can lead to severe health issues, including headaches, nausea, nerve damage, and unconsciousness.
