A countdown screen appears. You can abort the calibration at any time during the countdown by
pressing [N/-].

If the calibration is not aborted, the display shows the sensor names and tells you whether the fresh air
calibration passed or failed, followed by the sensors’ fresh air readings.

Note:

Dotted line indicates automatic progression.
