New sensor: wait 5 minutes.
Sensor requires calibration Calibrate the detector.
Target gas is present Detector is operating properly. Use caution in suspect areas.
Detector does not respond to button Battery is in critical low battery state or is completely depleted Replace the battery.
Detector is performing operations that do not require user input Button operation restores automatically when the operation ends.
Detector does not accurately measure gas Sensor requires calibration Calibrate the detector.
Detector is colder/hotter than gas temperature Allow the detector to acquire ambient temperature before use
Sensor filter is blocked Clean the sensor filter
Detector does not enter alarm Alarm setpoint(s) are set incorrectly Reset the alarm setpoints.
Alarm setpoint(s) set to zero Reset the alarm setpoints.
Detector is in calibration mode Complete calibration
