2. Safety Information

Please read all instructions carefully before installation and use. Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage, injury, or death.

• This device is intended for residential use.
• Do not paint the detector. Paint can clog the sensor openings and prevent the unit from functioning properly.
• Do not block the ventilation openings on the detector.
• Test the detector weekly to ensure proper operation.
• The detector should be installed in a location where the alarm can be heard by all occupants.
• Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an odorless, colorless, and poisonous gas. This detector is designed to alert you to the presence of CO.
• Combustible Gases (such as natural gas, propane, methane) are flammable and can cause explosions. This detector is designed to alert you to their presence.
• This device is not a substitute for proper installation, use, and maintenance of fuel-burning appliances, including appropriate ventilation and exhaust systems.

3. Product Features

• 5-in-1 Detection: Integrates carbon monoxide, combustible gas, temperature, humidity sensors, and a backup battery.
• Plug-in Design: Compatible with 110V to 240V AC outlets for easy installation.
• Built-in 1000mAh Backup Battery: Provides approximately 12 hours of operation during power outages. Rechargeable lithium battery design eliminates the need for disposable battery replacements.
• 2.1-inch HD Screen: Displays real-time data including CO ppm, combustible gas warning icon, humidity, temperature, CO indicator, plug status, and alarm status.
• Audible and Visual Alerts: Features an 85 dB alarm sound and dynamic data display on the HD screen for effective alerts.
• Dual Charging Options: Supports both plug-in charging and Type-C USB charging (cable not included). This allows for portable use.

4. Package Contents

Verify that all items are included in your package:

• 1 x HAKINAKU HD18 4-in-1 CO & Gas Detector
• 1 x User Manual

5. Setup

The HAKINAKU HD18 detector is designed for simple plug-and-play operation.

1. Choose a Location: Select an AC outlet in areas such as bedrooms, kitchens, living rooms, or basements. For optimal CO detection, place the detector at chest height. For combustible gas, place it closer to the floor if the gas is heavier than air (e.g., propane) or closer to the ceiling if lighter than air (e.g., natural gas). Avoid placing near windows, doors, or ventilation openings that could interfere with readings.
2. Plug In: Insert the detector into a standard 110V to 240V AC outlet.
3. Calibration: The detector will automatically begin a self-calibration process upon first power-up. This typically takes a few minutes. During this time, the screen may display a countdown or initialization sequence.
4. Ready for Use: Once calibration is complete, the screen will display real-time CO ppm, gas status, temperature, and humidity readings, indicating the device is operational.
