Power On

To power on the device, press and hold the green power button for approximately three

seconds.

When powered on, the device will vibrate, flash, and sound an audible alarm to verify

that those features are active. After a 10 second countdown, a “V” icon will flash on the

display screen and the current level of measured gas in ambient air will be shown.

When in Gas Detection Mode (Normal Operating Mode), the “V” icon will disappear

(after blinking several times).

NOTE: In the event that stabilization of the device fails, Gas

Measure Mode will not be entered. Instead, a blinking “X” will

appear on the display screen. The “X” indicates that calibration

of the sensor, or aftercare of the instrument, is required.

Power Off

To power off the device, press and hold the green power button for approximately three

seconds. The display screen will countdown the number of seconds remaining until the

device is “OFF.”

NOTE: If the green power button is pressed while the device is not in Gas

Measure Mode, or if the green power button is not held down for the required

amount of time for powering off the device, the device will remain on.

Basic Operation

NOTE: Appropriate calibration of the device is required prior to operation.
