Safety and Precautionary Measures to be Adopted

Carefully review the following safety limitations and precautions before placing this device in service.
Do not alter or modify the device.
Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING!
All device readings and information must be interpreted by someone trained and qualified in inter-
preting device readings in relation to the specific environment, industrial practice and exposure limita-

Check Function
Before each day's use, check the function of the device ( chapter 3.7 "Function Tests").
MSA recommends carrying out a routine inspection prior to each day's use.
Bluetooth Operation

information to linked devices. Take appropriate precautions in the event a loss of wireless signal
occurs.
