Responding to Battery Alarms
WARNING:
The GX-2012 is not operational as a gas monitoring device during a
dead battery alarm. Take the GX-2012 to a non-hazardous area and
replace or recharge the batteries as described in “Replacing or
Recharging the Batteries” on page 134.
The GX-2012 is fully functional during a low battery warning. However, only a limited
amount of operating time remains, approximately 1 - 2 hours. The amount of time depends
on how often the LCD backlight is used and how often the unit is responding to alarm
conditions. Recharge the battery pack or replace the alkaline batteries as soon as possible
as described in “Replacing or Recharging the Batteries” on page 134.
NOTE:

amount of operating time remaining.
