Instruction Sheet
Introduction
The GasAlertClip gas detector ("the detector") warns of hazardous gas at
levels above (below for oxygen deficiency) a factory set alarm setpoint. The
detector is a personal safety device that stores and transmits gas alarm
event data. It is your responsibility to respond properly to the alarm.

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.
u
If the detector passes the self-test,
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."
