• Conversió d'unitats de temperatura: Utilitza el Botó °C/°F to switch the temperature display between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
• Funció de retenció de dades: Premeu el botó botó HOLD per congelar la lectura actual a la pantalla. Premeu de nou per alliberar-la.
• Control de la llum de fons: Premeu el botó Tecla de retroil·luminació (sun symbol) to turn on/off the backlight.
• Control de so: Premeu el botó Tecla de so (speaker symbol) to turn on/off audible alerts.

Reading Data and Alarms:

• Read the CO2 concentration directly from the main display line (labeled '2' in Figure 8).
• The backlight color indicates air quality:

  Interval de mesura de CO2	Instrument Sound/Light Prompt
  400-1000 ppm	Green backlight (Normal air quality)
  1000-2000 ppm	Yellow backlight (Elevated concentration)
  2000-5000 ppm	Red backlight warning, alarm warning (High concentration)
  > 5000 ppm	Red backlight. Panic alarm. Display shows "H1" with continuous beeping.

• If "H1" is displayed and continuous beeping occurs, the CO2 concentration has exceeded 5000 ppm. To resume normal measurement, turn off the device and restart it.

7. Emmagatzematge i Manteniment

• Store the device in a dry and well-ventilated environment.
• Recommended storage temperature: -10~60°C, maximum relative humidity of 70%RH.
• Netegeu l'exterior amb un drap suau i sec.
• Do not use solvents, alcohol, or corrosive cleaning agents.
• Eviteu cops mecànics o caigui el dispositiu.
• Si no heu d'utilitzar el dispositiu durant un període prolongat, traieu-ne les piles per evitar fuites.

8. Solució De Problemes

• El dispositiu no s'encén: Ensure batteries are correctly installed with proper polarity and are not depleted. Replace with new AAA batteries if necessary.
• Lectures inexactes: Allow the device to stabilize for several minutes after turning on. Ensure the air inlet/ventilation openings are not blocked. For long-term accuracy, it's recommended to place the unit in a well-ventilated area periodically for self-calibration.
• "H1" displayed with continuous beeping: This indicates CO2 concentration exceeds 5000 ppm. Turn off the device and restart it to resume normal measurement. Ventilate the area immediately.
• Display unstable: Substituïu les piles.
