WARNING: To prevent ignition of a hazardous atmosphere, batteries
must only be changed or charged in an area known to be
nonhazardous.
Replace or charge the batteries when the battery icon indicates that
the unit is in low battery warning. When in low battery warning, only
half of one battery level indication bar is displayed in the battery icon
on the LCD, and this icon will be flashing.
Replacing Alkaline Batteries or Ni-MH Battery Pack
NOTE: Use Procell PC 1500 alkaline batteries, Duracell MN 1500
alkaline batteries, or RKI Instruments Ni-MH battery pack
49-1606RK to maintain the CSA classification of the GX-2003.
Use of other batteries or mixing alkaline and rechargeable
batteries will void the CSA classification and may void the
warranty.

WARNING: Do not remove the batteries or battery pack while the
GX-2003 is on.
2. Turn the battery cover release knob counterclockwise, remove the
battery cover, and lay it aside.

Verify that the battery compartment and electrical contacts are
clean.

battery pack.
For alkaline batteries, follow the battery diagram inside the
