Not only the first-time users but also the users who have already used the product must follow the operating
precautions.
Ignoring the precautions may damage the gas monitor, resulting in inaccurate gas detection.
4-2. Preparation for start-up
Before starting gas detection, read and understand the following precautions. Ignoring these precautions
may prevent correct gas detection.
• Check that the battery level is sufficient.
• Check that there is no bend or hole in the gas sampling hose.
• Check that the filter in the gas sampling probe is free of dust or clogging.
• Check that the gas monitor, gas sampling probe, and gas sampling hose are connected properly.

• Use the dedicated AC powered charger.
• Recharge the batteries in a non-hazardous area.
• Recharge the batteries at ambient temperatures between 0 to 40ºC.
