Responding to Battery Alarms
WARNING: The GasWatch 2 is not operational as a gas monitoring
device during a dead battery alarm. Take the GasWatch 2
to a non-hazardous area and change the battery as
described in “Changing the Lithium Battery”.
The GasWatch 2 is fully functional in a low battery warning condition.
However, only a couple of days of operation may remain depending on
certain conditions such as alarm occurrences. Change the battery as soon
as possible when a low battery warning occurs as described in “Changing
the Lithium Battery”.
NOTE: Alarms and the back light feature consume battery power and
reduce the amount of operating time remaining.

Responding to a System Failure Alarm
