Conducting an ambient test

non-smoker status but providing a breath
reading of that of a smoker suggesting they
have inhaled environmental CO.
This is carried out by pressing the ambient
mode icon on the screen.
The Micro

™ will then carry out real
-time
monitoring of the environmental air. To stop
the test, press the home icon.
