Enabling Bluetooth Functionality with MSA Gas Detectors

(1) Power on the MSA gas detector per the device instructions.
(2) Wait for the sensor warm-up phase to complete.
Due to the device calibration and start up times, MSA recommends powering on the gas detector
device first. Allow the gas detector to completely startup before moving on the next step.
The device is ready for pairing once the Blue LED begins to blink quickly.
(3) Power on the SCBA.
IMPORTANT! The remaining pairing steps detailed below must be completed within 8-10 minutes of
the G1 SCBA being powered on. If the pairing process is not initiated within 8-10 minutes of the
