Getting started

Important note:
When using the device for the first time, please make sure to connect the power supply uninterruptedly for 24 hours. The device will perform an automatic calibration within 24 hours.

• Plug the supplied USB-C cable into the designated port on the device and connect the unit to the mains using the power adapter.
• When using the mains adapter as a power supply, the integrated Li-Ion battery is charged. To fully charge, leave the device connected for approximately 4.5 hours.
• If you operate the device without a power connection, the battery runtime is about 12 hours at the highest brightness level. The battery symbol flashes when the battery needs to be charged (battery voltage below 3.3 V) and the device switches off after some time.

Operation

• Press the POWER/LIGHT sensor button for 3 seconds to switch on the device.
• The device will issue two beeps and all segments will be displayed briefly.
• The display shows the current temperature and humidity.
• The CO2 sensor goes into warm-up mode and starts a 150-second countdown. Afterward, the normal display appears. The device is ready for use.
• Press the UP/°C/°F button in normal mode to change between °C (Celsius) or °F (Fahrenheit) as temperature units.
• Briefly press the POWER/LIGHT sensor button to adjust the brightness in 4 steps (high, medium, low, off).
• Press the POWER/LIGHT sensor button for 3 seconds to deactivate the device.

Traffic light display

The CO2 monitor shows the CO2 comfort level with an extended traffic light display:

CO2 value (ppm) & Description

• 400-600 GOOD
• 601-1000 NORMAL
• 1001-1500 POOR
• 1501-2000 SERIOUS
• 2000 SERIOUS +
