FAQs
How often should I charge the unit?
It is recommended to charge the unit fully before every trip. The battery life is sufficient for multiple nights of use.
Does it detect smoke or fire?
No, this is specifically a carbon monoxide detector, not a smoke or fire alarm.
Can I use this in my kitchen at home?
This device is specifically designed for portable, outdoor use in shelters and is not a substitute for fixed domestic CO alarms.
Is the unit waterproof?
It is designed for outdoor shelter use but is not fully waterproof. Avoid submerging it or leaving it exposed to direct, heavy rainfall.
How do I know if the battery is low?
The device display will typically indicate a low battery icon or the unit may cease to provide consistent readings when power is critical.
Troubleshooting
Device alarm triggers unexpectedly
Ensure there are no open combustion sources (gas heaters, stoves) inside the shelter. If no source is present, move the unit to fresh air to clear the sensor.
Display is faint or unreadable
Check the battery level. If the battery is low, the screen contrast may diminish; connect to a USB-C power source immediately.
Unit will not charge
Verify the USB-C cable is fully seated and try a different power adapter or power bank port.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first trip, ensure the unit is fully charged via the USB-C port until the status indicator confirms a full battery. To mount, simply locate a magnetic surface; if none is available, consider using a small adhesive metal plate or a loop to hang the device securely. For daily care, keep the sensor intake free of dust, dirt, or debris to ensure accurate air sampling. Avoid using aerosol sprays or strong chemicals directly near the sensor, as these can trigger false alarms. Store the unit in a dry protective case during transit to prevent screen scratches.
