Immediately after pressing key 1, the instrument will automatically perform a zero check.
Once completed and assuming no problems with the zero, the instrument will proceed to
“Measurement Mode” where the CO
2
value (plus optional %RH/Temp sensor is present) and
sensor values are displayed as follows (

Where:
C
