Operating the Carbon Monoxide Meter 1. Press the On/Off button to activate the unit and it will begin measuring as you carry it, while walking around the test area. The results will be displayed on the LCD in PPM (Parts Per Million). 2. When finished, press the On/Off button to turn off the unit. Note: For use in dark environments, the LCD will light up. Press the Back Light button (see page 6) to turn on the light, and press it again to turn it off. Special Features: 1.

To return it to normal operation, press the MAX button again. Important Carbon Monoxide Information Carbon monoxide is DEADLY in a closed environment. Early signs of Carbon Monoxide poisoning resemble the flu, with headaches, dizziness, or nausea. If you have any of these signs, GET FRESH AIR IMMEDIATELY, whether the meter has a high reading or not. Carbon Monoxide (CO), a colorless, odorless gas, is produced in dangerous levels from internal combustion engines (in enclosed areas) such as automobiles, lawnmowers, and any other small engine appliance. Gas, oil, and kerosene appliances that are not properly maintained will also produce this deadly gas. In the house, plugged chimneys, dirty flues, gas heaters, fireplaces, and furnaces are also capable of producing quantities of this silent killer. If high readings are found, immediately open a window and ventilate the room, if possible shut off the appliance, evacuate the area, and call your gas supplier or a qualified technician for analysis of the problem and service. US Department of Labor, Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) regulation 1917.24: The CO content in any enclosed space shall be maintained at not more than 50 PPM (0.005%). Remove employees from enclosed space if the CO concentration exceeds 100 PPM (0.01%).

WARNING: These problems should only be diagnosed and remedied only essential to reduce the risk of FIRE, EXPLOSION, and exposure to Carbon Monoxide, which may cause DEATH. Stove and Fireplaces that burn gas, wood, and coal produce to much Carbon Monoxide if these problems are present: 1. Cracked firebox. 2. Cracked Heat Exchanger. 3. Green or treated wood. 4. Defective/Blocked flue. 5. Insufficient air. Ranges and Ovens that burn natural gas or LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) produce too much Carbon Monoxide if these problems are present: 1. Improper venting. 2. Misused as a heater. 3. Maladjusted burner. 4 Insufficient air. Water heaters that burn natural gas or LPG produce too much Carbon Monoxide if these problems are present: 1.
