Charging The QRAE 3 (non-ATEX/IECEx)
Always fully charge the battery before use. Contacts on
the bottom of the QRAE 3 meet the Travel Charger's
contact pins, transferring power. Make sure the charger
and QRAE 3 are firmly attached. Then connect the AC
Adapter's barrel plug to the charger, and plug its
transformer into an AC outlet. While charging, the
LED on the Travel Charger glows red. When the
battery is fully charged, the LED glows green.

The QRAE 3 User's Guide must be carefully read by all
individuals who have or will have the responsibility of
using, maintaining, or servicing this product. The product
will perform as designed only if it is used, maintained, and
serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Never operate the monitor when the rear cover is re-
moved. Remove rear cover, sensors, and/or battery only
in an area known to be non-hazardous. Never use the
instrument with the calibration adapter installed, as this
can cause distorted readings, a potential safety threat.
Barrier Box For ATEX/IECEx Use
For ATEX/IECEx applications, plug the cord from
the Barrier Box (P/N M02-3011-000) into the
Travel Charger, and then plug the power adapter
into the Barrier Box.

User Interface
The QRAE 3's user interface consists of the
display and two keys, [MODE] and [Y/+]. The
flippable LCD displays information such as monitored
threats, real-time readings and measurement units,
alarm type (when in alarm, including cal. overdue),
battery status, datalog (if on), and radio and connection
quality (if available).

Turning The QRAE 3 On
With the instrument turned off, press and hold the
[MODE] key until the audible alarm stops, and then
release. During startup, the battery, buzzer, vibra-
tion alarm, and LEDs are tested, and then the
QRAE 3 performs self-testing of its other func-
tions. When the main measurement screen appears,
the QRAE 3 is ready for calibration or use.
Note: If the battery is completely empty, then the
display briefly shows the message "Battery
Discharged!" and the QRAE 3 shuts off. You should
charge or replace the battery before turning it on again.
Note: If "Zero At Start," "Must Calibrate" or
"Must Bump" is set, you will be prompted to
perform the appropriate calibration before using the
instrument.
