Message displayed when an error/failure occurs.
Message indicating that the device has reached the end of its service life and that the sensor needs to be replaced with a new one.
The alarm and warning are activated when carbon monoxide enters the sensor at a given time and concentration.
Low concentration of
carbon monoxide warning
High concentration of
carbon monoxide alarm
The red ALARM LED flashes 4 times, the device beeps at a slow pace
The red ALARM LED flashes 5 times, the device beeps at a fast rate
Signalling occurs once every 3-5 minutes
Signalling occurs 3 times within 10 seconds
Don't panic, monitor the concentration of monoxide in your environment
Dangerous situation, leave the monitored room immediately!

WHAT TO DO WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDS?
If CO concentration detected in the air exceeds the allowable level, the device will shortly beep 4 times every 5 seconds and the red ALARM diode will
flash!
(1) If it is possible, immediately leave the area/room where the exceeded concentration has been detected.
(2) Open doors and windows to air the room. This will help to disperse the concentration of CO before the emergency services arrive, and the device
will stop alarming. Even if the problem seems temporally solved, a real source of CO leak has to be detected.
(3) If someone reveals poisoning symptoms (nausea, head ache), immediately seek medical attention.
(4) Consult the situation with appropriate services (e.g. fire service).
(5) After following steps 1-4, if the alarm reactivates within 24-hour period, repeat steps 1-4 and call a qualified appliance technician to investigate
sources of CO from fuel burning equipment and appliances, and to check proper operation of the detector.
(6) If an alarm occurs, pressing the TEST button silences this alarm. If the carbon monoxide concentration causing the alarm remains at the same level,
the alarm will be reactivated. Reactivation of the alarm within five minutes means that the carbon monoxide concentration level is very high. This
concentration causes an immediate danger.
(7) If the device is giving false alarms, check if it has been installed in a proper place.
(8) If there is any doubt as to the cause of the alarm, it should be assumed that it is due to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide and the flat should be
evacuated immediately.
MAINTENANCE AND PRECAUTIONS
1. Detector does not work without proper batteries in working order.
2. After installing the battery, press the TEST button to test the device!
3.
Regularly test the device once a month using the TEST button.
4. Clean the appliance regularly of dust and dirt using a hoover, especially the air inlet and the panel with information LEDs. Disconnect the power before
vacuuming.
5. Avoid spraying any chemical cleansers directly on the cover of the device.
6. Do not let water get inside the case of the device.
7. Do not cover the device with paint.
8. Never use detergents or solvents to clean the detector. Chemicals can permanently damage the device.
9. The work of the device may be interrupted in prolonged exposure to cigarette smoke, alcohol, perfume, petrol, paint or varnish and other organic vapours.
10. Do not use or store the device in a place where it is exposed to mutually interacting gases.
11. Do not open the housing of the device and do not make any repairs or modifications on your own, as it may damage the device.
12. Do not allow children to play with the device.
13. Replace the device when the date on the label on the back of the device, indicating the life of the sensor, has passed.
14. CO detector cannot replace a smoke detector.
15. The carbon monoxide detector does not detect the presence of natural gas (methane), LPG (propane-butane) or other flammable gases.
16. When testing the device, check that the sound is clearly audible from all sleeping rooms.
17. Never use an open flame to test the device.
18. Never put the device to your ears during detection or testing as this may cause hearing damage.
19. Store the device in a dry and dark place.
20. During transport, do not throw the device or subject it to mechanical damage.
21. The device may not prevent the chronic effects of carbon monoxide exposure.
22. Estimated battery life is approximately 72 months from first use and depends on alarm frequency.
Due to technical conditions (e.g. battery failure, equipment failure, etc.) and the specificity of the rooms in which CO presence detectors are installed,
these devices do not give total certainty of detecting dangerous CO, but only significantly increase the probability of earlier detection of its dangerous
concentration. Therefore, you should remember that these devices should be tested in accordance with the attached manual and that you should
periodically inspect the condition of ventilation, chimney installations and devices that may emit carbon monoxide.
The life of the internal sensor is approx. 10 years from the date of manufacture of the device (the technical conditions of installation, the number of alarm
activations, temperature, humidity, dust). It is absolutely necessary to replace the device after the "END" message appears on the display signalling the
end of the sensor's life or before the expiry date stated on the device, depending on what happens first.
