INSTRUMENT STORAGE
Tango TX1 gas detection instruments may be stored under these conditions:
• Temperature: 0 °C to + 25 °C (32 °F to 77 °F)
• Relative humidity: 40-70 %, noncondensing
Instruments with nonrechargeable batteries should be regularly examined for potential damage or corrosion
and the batteries should be replaced as needed. After storage and before operation, prepare the instrument
as you would for First Use.
FIRST USE
To prepare the Tango TX1 for first use, qualified personnel should configure and calibrate the unit.
WEARING THE INSTRUMENT
Industrial Scientific recommends that the unit be worn within a 25.4 cm (10 ") radius of the nose and mouth
based on the U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) definition
of the breathing zone. Refer to OSHA, other agencies or groups, and company safety policy as needed for
additional information.
Industrial Scientific also recommends that the unit be worn within the instrument operator's sight line.
The instrument operator may wear the unit with its factory-installed garment clip which is intended for
attachment to a garment.
The garment clip should be securely fastened and attached in a manner that ensures the unit's sensor
ports are fully exposed to the air. No part of the unit should be covered by any garment, part of a garment,
or other item that would restrict the flow of air to the sensors or impair the operator's access to the audible,
visual, or vibration alarms. Attach the garment clip as described below.
—
Position the garment between the clip's upper and lower teeth.
Press down on the clip cover to secure the clip in place.

CLEANING THE INSTRUMENT EXTERIOR
When cleaning the instrument exterior, do not use alcohol, disinfectants, or solvents, or any substance that
contains these ingredients as they can damage sensors and otherwise compromise instrument integrity.
