option.

three seconds) turns the unit off.
Press and hold the button
for three seconds until the
display becomes active.
Release the button. After a
10-second warm-up period,
during which a start-up
screen is displayed, the main
menu will appear.
If a
is shown rather than the main
menu, it means that the instrument has
failed to set a fresh air zero during start-up.
This may be because the ambient air was
not clear of carbon monoxide. Ensure that
the instrument is in fresh air, then double
click the button to repeat the start-up test.
If it fails again, see ‘Troubleshooting’,
page 17.
