9. Failure warning
• The unit displays 0000 and recalls the CO2 sensor weakness when it detects that the sensor is
damaged.
• The unit displays 25°C, 30% when it detects that the temperature and humidity sensor is
damaged.
10. What is carbon dioxide?
Not to be confused with carbon monoxide (CO), CO2 is produced by the human body and is
found in the air when we exhale. CO2 is a colourless, odourless gas that humans cannot detect,
so having a CO2 meter is useful in offices, schools, homes where many people are present
together. The CO2 meter tells you when you need to ventilate a room.
11. Symptoms following high CO2 exposure
At high concentrations, carbon dioxide can displace oxygen from the air, thus depriving the body
of oxygen, which can cause loss of consciousness. A lack of oxygen can cause a variety of symp-
toms including rapid breathing, rapid heart rate, dizziness, emotional reaction, fatigue, nausea
and vomiting, collapse or in more severe cases; convulsions, coma or death.
Note: Elderly people and those at risk (diabetics, thrombosis risks...) may be more vulne-
rable. If you experience even mild symptoms, please consult your doctor immediately!

12. Safety advice

• As the coverage area of CO2 detection is limited, we recommend that you install CO2 detectors
in every room of your home to effectively protect the whole family.
• Do not spray chemical sprays such as deodorant, hairspray, perfume, insecticide or spray paint
near the alarm.
• Clean with a soft, damp cloth, without using solvents or detergents that will damage the device.
• Please recharge the device regularly if it is stored for a long time.
• Do not paint the CO2 alarm and do not block or cover the alarm's ventilation hole with glue or
other objects.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the product yourself.
• The control panel is not waterproof. Do not expose it to rain or immerse it in water.
• Please keep these instructions for use in a safe place.
• In case of carbon dioxide poisoning, call the emergency services for help. Do not return home
until the alarm has stopped and the air has returned to normal.
