4. Operation
4.1 Carbon Monoxide Detection
The CO detector continuously monitors the air for carbon monoxide. Upon detecting dangerous levels of CO, the device will emit a loud alarm and send an immediate notification to your connected smartphone.
- Alarm Indication: A loud audible alarm and a flashing LED indicator.
- Test/Hush Button: Press the 'TEST/HUSH' button to test the alarm function or to temporarily silence a nuisance alarm (e.g., during cooking, if applicable). Refer to the specific product guide for detailed hush duration.
- Action on Alarm: If the CO alarm sounds, immediately move to fresh air outdoors or open doors/windows. Do not re-enter the premises until the CO source has been identified and corrected, and the area has been ventilated.

- False motion alarms:
- Adjust the sensitivity settings for the motion sensor in the app, if available.
- Ensure the sensor is not placed near heat sources (e.g., vents, direct sunlight) or areas with frequent drafts that could trigger it.
- Avoid placing the sensor where pets can easily trigger it.
- Low battery warning persists after replacement:
- Ensure the new battery is inserted correctly with the correct polarity.
- Verify that the battery is fresh and fully charged.
- Perform a test cycle to reset the device's battery status.
- CO alarm sounds without apparent CO:
- Ventilate the area thoroughly.
- Ensure there are no hidden sources of CO (e.g., faulty appliances, vehicle exhaust).
- If false alarms persist, the sensor may be nearing its end of life or require professional inspection.
If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact HEIMAN customer support for further assistance.
