Read and understand the product manual completely before operating or servicing.
Hazardous Conditions, Poisons, and Contaminants
WARNING: Servicing the unit, replacing or charging battery packs, or using the communications port must only
be done in an area known to be nonhazardous. Not for use in oxygen-enriched atmospheres.
WARNING: Power-off the monitor before servicing the unit or replacing the battery.
WARNING: Substitution of components may impair intrinsic safety and may cause an unsafe condition.
CAUTION: High off-scale readings may indicate explosive gas concentration(s).
CAUTION: Any rapid up-scale reading followed by a declining or erratic reading may indicate gas
concentration(s) beyond the upper scale limit which may be hazardous.
Silicone compound vapors or other known contaminants may affect the combustible gas sensor and cause
readings of combustible gas to be lower than actual gas concentrations. If the monitor has been used in an
area where silicone vapors were present, always calibrate the monitor before next use to ensure accurate
measurements.
