Perform a self-test each day prior to use.
Make sure the sensor grill is free of dirt and debris.
Make sure the sensor grill is not covered.
Periodically test the sensor’s response to gas by exposing the
detector to a target gas concentration that exceeds the low alarm
setpoint. Manually verify that the audible and visual alarms are
activated.
Periodically calibrate the GasAlertClip O

Activating the Detector
Press C and hold for 5 seconds. The detector emits one beep, one flash
and one vibration*. Then the detector sets the life-remaining clock, performs
a self-test and displays the alarm setpoints. Once activated, the detector
cannot be turned off.
If the detector passes the self-test,
u shows on the display and the unit is
ready for use. Instructions describing what to do in the event of a self-test
failure appear in the section “Self-Test Fail.”
