3. Using Your Pocket CO
3.1 Normal Operation:
The information below describes how to turn Pocket CO on for
normal operation, with one of two possible detection periods:
12-Hour Detection: With Pocket CO off, quickly push and release
the button. The display will show “12HR”. The instrument will
perform a brief self-test, and then show the current CO reading
(PPM). The display will update with a new reading of CO every 5
seconds, for a 12-Hour period before turning off automatically.
Using this detection period will help to prolong battery life.
Continuous Detection: With Pocket CO off, quickly push and
release the button
twice
. The display will show “ON”. The
instrument will perform a brief self-test, and then show the
current CO reading (PPM). The display will update with a new
reading of CO every 5 seconds, and will continue to do so until
turned off by the user. This mode is useful if protection from CO
is required over a prolonged period of time, such as on a trip or
long drive. Note that dosimetry information is not recorded, or
reported, when running in Continuous Detection.
3.2 Turning Pocket CO Off:
To turn Pocket CO off during normal operation, quickly push and
release the button once (the backlight will turn on), followed by
pushing and holding the button down. After 2 seconds the red
light will flash, and Pocket CO will turn off. Note that this
procedure should be followed even if the backlight is already on
because Pocket CO is alarming.
