5.2 Acendido/Apagado
Manteña premido o Botón de encendido on the back of the device to turn it ON or OFF.
5.3 Colocación
Place the CO2 meter in the area you wish to monitor. For accurate readings, avoid placing it directly in front of air vents, windows, or in drafty locations. The device can be placed on a flat surface or mounted on a wall using the integrated hanging hole.
Imaxe: Examples of suitable environments for the CO2 meter, including a green room, baby room, car, office, and wine cellar.
6. Funcionamento
6.1 Lectura da pantalla
Once powered on, the large LCD will display the current CO2 concentration in parts per million (ppm), temperature in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius, and relative humidity percentage.
6.2 CO2 Concentration Levels
The device categorizes CO2 levels into three stages, indicated by visual cues on the display and potentially an alarm:
- Normal: 400-700 ppm (Good air quality)
- Aviso: 700-1500 ppm (Moderate air quality, ventilation recommended)
- Perigoso: 1500-5000 ppm (Poor air quality, immediate ventilation required)
Image: The CO2 meter display illustrating the three stages of CO2 concentration: Normal (400-700 ppm), Warning (700-1500 ppm), and Dangerous (1500-5000 ppm).
6.3 Función de alarma
The CO2 detector is equipped with an audible alarm that activates when the detected CO2 concentration exceeds a preset value. You can customize this alarm threshold.
- Setting Alarm Value: Double-press the power button to enter the alarm setting mode. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust the desired CO2 threshold.
- Toggling Alarm ON/OFF: Press the UP button on the back panel to enable or disable the audible alarm.

6.4 Calibración
To ensure the accuracy of measurements, the CO2 meter supports a calibration function. It is recommended to calibrate the device in an open, fresh air environment, especially when using it for the first time.
- Calibración manual:
- Apague o dispositivo.
- Take the device to an open outdoor environment with fresh air.
- Simultaneously press and hold all three buttons (UP, Power, DOWN) on the back of the device.
- The display will show a 200-second countdown. Keep the device still and do not breathe near it during this period.
- Calibration will complete automatically after the countdown.
- Calibración automática: The automatic calibration function is off by default. If turned on, the first self-calibration occurs 24 hours after power-on, and subsequent self-calibrations occur every 7 days. If the device is turned off and on again, the timer for self-calibration will reset.

8 Solución de problemas
| Problema | Causa posible | Solución |
|---|---|---|
| Inaccurate CO2/Temp/Humidity readings | Device needs calibration; placed in a drafty area; sensor obstruction. | Perform manual calibration in fresh air. Relocate the device to a stable environment. Ensure ventilation holes are clear. |
| A batería esgotarase rapidamente | Multiple sensors consume power; continuous use without charging. | For continuous monitoring, keep the device connected to a 5V-1A USB power adapter. |
| O dispositivo non se acende | Batería baixa; cable/adaptador de carga defectuoso. | Charge the device for at least 30 minutes. Try a different USB-C cable and adapter. |
| A alarma non soa | Alarm function is disabled; CO2 level below threshold. | Press the UP button to enable the alarm. Check if the CO2 concentration has reached the set alarm threshold. |
