3.1 LCD Display Indications

The digital LCD screen provides real-time information about the detector's status:

• Biðstaða: Displays the current CO level in parts per million (ppm). If no CO is detected, it will show '0 ppm'.
• CO viðvörun: When dangerous CO levels are detected, the screen will display the CO concentration in ppm, accompanied by an audible alarm and a flashing red light.
• "AL" (Alarm in Absence): If a CO alarm triggers while you are away, the device will enter "Alarm in Absence" mode. The screen will display "AL", and the unit will beep every 40 seconds with a red flashing light until deactivated.
• Staða rafhlöðu: An icon indicates the battery level. A flashing orange "!" and continuous beep signify low batteries.
• "EOL" (End of Life): This indicator signals that the device has reached the end of its 10-year operational life and needs replacement.

3.2 Viðvörun Virkjun

In the event of CO detection, the FA6812 will:

• Emit four loud beeps (85 dB(A) at 3m minimum).
• Flash a red LED light.
• Display the CO concentration in ppm on the LCD screen.

Ef vekjarinn hringir:

1. Farið strax út í ferskt loft eða opnið ​​allar dyr og glugga.
2. Gerðu manntalningu til að ganga úr skugga um að allir einstaklingar séu taldir með.
3. Ekki fara aftur inn í húsnæðið fyrr en viðvörunarkerfið hefur stöðvast og svæðið hefur verið vel loftræst.
4. Leitið læknis ef einhver finnur fyrir einkennum CO-eitrunar (höfuðverk, ógleði, sundl).
5. Contact the appropriate emergency services or a qualified technician to investigate the source of the CO.

3.3 Sleep Easy™ Function

The Sleep Easy™ function allows you to temporarily silence the low battery warning for 8 hours. To activate:
