press and release the POWER MODE button to proceed to Normal
Mode. The gas reading for the failed sensor or sensors will be replaced
by “- - -”. Replace any sensors that fail the automatic fresh air
adjustment as soon as possible.

WARNING: If the Auto Zero Adjustment feature is turned on, make

sure that you start-up the GX-2009 in a known fresh air
environment, an environment free of combustible or toxic
gasses and of normal oxygen content, 20.9%. If you do
not start-up the unit in a fresh air environment, the fresh
air adjustment will not be accurate.

gas. The Normal Operation Screen appears.

The concentrations of the target gasses are displayed along with the
time in the lower right corner and the battery charge level in the lower
