To stop the unit monitoring press the ENTER button. Please
note that the unit will not stop for 20 seconds after this first

NOTE: The concentration reading will only change as dust is
detected. Don’t worry if the concentration reading appears to
be static. To test the unit is working, simply place the sensor
head near the carpet or an upholstered seat and smartly hit the
fabric. This normally release enough particles to register an
increase in the concentration reading display.
The LCD backlite is on a timer. Should you wish to turn it back
