The plastic tubing supplied with the gas should be pushed firmly over the reducing connector. Turn the control knob fully counter-clockwise until knob will not turn any further. Apply gas for 25 seconds and then use the calibration button tool to depress the calibration button.
When the battery has approximately 1 hour of useful life left the following message will be displayed: B a t and the alarm will sound momentarily after the unit is first switched on. When the battery has completely expired the above will be displayed continuously and the battery must be replaced.
When the sensor has expired it will become impossible to obtain a correct calibration. When this occurs, the Smoke Check must be returned to Micro Direct for sensor replacement. Cleaning Disinfection of contaminated parts is only effective after having them carefully pre-cleaned.
sterilizing solutions. Exposed surfaces of the meter, other than the sensor surface, may be wiped with a clean, damp cloth or a cloth that has been immersed in a sterilizing solution. It is recommended that this procedure is performed after each use and all used cardboard mouthpieces discarded.
