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.

Before initial use, the AGT-3000 can be tested with controlled sources of combustion to verify functionality.

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.

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.
