5.1 Zapnutí

Once batteries are installed, the alarm will automatically power on and begin its initial self-test. The digital display will show '0 PPM' (parts per million) under normal conditions, and the green LED will flash periodically, indicating normal operation.

5.2 LED indikátory

• Zelená LED: Flashes approximately every 30 seconds, indicating normal operation and sufficient battery power.
• Červená LED: Illuminates and flashes rapidly when the alarm detects dangerous levels of carbon monoxide.

5.3 Digitální displej

The digital display continuously shows the detected carbon monoxide levels in PPM. In the absence of CO, it typically displays '0 PPM'.

5.4 Tlačítko Test/Reset

Stiskněte a podržte Test/Reset tlačítko pro:

• Test the alarm's electronic circuit and horn. The alarm will sound, and the red LED will flash.
• Silence a sounding alarm for a short period (if CO levels are not critically high).

5.5 Podmínky alarmu

When CO is detected at dangerous levels, the alarm will sound a loud intermittent horn, and the red LED will flash. The digital display will show the detected CO concentration. Follow these steps:

1. Immediately move to fresh air outdoors or open all doors and windows.
2. Call emergency services (fire department or 911/local equivalent).
3. Do not re-enter the premises until it has been aired out and the CO source has been identified and corrected.

Test your CO alarm weekly by pressing and holding the Test/Reset button until the alarm sounds. This confirms the unit's electronic circuitry and horn are functioning correctly.
