Instrument
The HANDHELD comes with a charged battery and is ready for use.
To start using the instrument, proceed as follows:
WARNING:
Do not
attempt to sample
reactive gases (such as
hydrogen or oxygen)
with this instrument.
Reactive gases create an
explosion hazard in the
instrument.
Sampling any gas under
pressure can damage the
instrument and void the
warranty.
Sampling any gas that is
not the same density as
ambient air can result in
inaccurate data.
Contact Lighthouse for
more information.
