3.2 Visual & Audible Alarms
The device provides real-time gas concentration feedback through a 3-color LED indicator and an intensifying buzzer:
- Green: Low concentration (0-499 PPM)
- Yellow: Medium concentration (500-1999 PPM) with buzzing
- Red: High concentration (2000 PPM and above) with louder buzzing

3.5 Multi-Gas Detection
The RD710 detects various common combustible gases, including Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), methane, ethane, propane, butane, and natural gas.
3.6 Additional Functions
- Built-in Flashlight: For use in low-light conditions.
- Data Hold: Freezes the current reading on the display.
- Auto Power-Off: Automatically shuts down after 10 minutes of inactivity to conserve battery.
- Mute Function: Allows silencing of the audible alarm.
4. Setup
4.1 Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge the device using the provided USB Type-C cable and a compatible USB power adapter (not included). The battery indicator on the LCD will show charging status.
4.2 Power On and Warm-up
- Press and hold the Power button (U) to turn on the device.
- The device will enter a 30-second warm-up period. The display will count down.
4.3 Zero Calibration
After warm-up, perform zero calibration to ensure accurate readings. This must be done in a clean air environment, free from any combustible gases.
- Take the device to an area with clean air, such as outdoors.
- Press the "MEAS (Set '0')" button. The device will calibrate to zero.
- Once calibration is complete, the device is ready for use.

5. Operation
5.1 Gas Detection Procedure
- After warm-up and zero calibration, slowly move the sensor tip of the detector towards the suspected leak area.
- Observe the LCD display for PPM readings and the analog bar graph.
- Listen for the audible alarm and note the color of the LED indicator. The alarm intensity and LED color will change with increasing gas concentration.
5.2 Using Buttons
- Power Button (U): Press and hold to turn on/off.
- MEAS (Set '0') Button: Initiates zero calibration.
- APO Button: Toggles the auto power-off function.
- HOLD Button: Freezes the current reading on the display. Press again to release.
- Mute Button: Toggles the audible alarm sound on/off.
- Flashlight Button: Turns the built-in flashlight on/off.

6. Maintenance
6.1 Battery Care
- Recharge the device when the low-battery warning appears on the display.
- For optimal battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently.
- If storing the device for an extended period, charge it to approximately 50% and recharge every 3-6 months.
6.2 Cleaning
- Wipe the device exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Keep the sensor tip clean and free from dust or debris to ensure accurate detection.
6.3 Storage
