a. fuses, disposable batteries or the routine replacement of parts due to the normal wear and tear of the product arising from use;
b. any product which in BW’s opinion, has been misused, altered, neglected or damaged, by accident or abnormal conditions of operation, handling or use;
c. any damage or defects attributable to repair of the product by any person other than an authorized dealer, or the installation of unapproved parts on the
product; or
The obligations set forth in this warranty are conditional on:
a. proper storage, installation, calibration, use, maintenance and compliance with the product manual instructions and any other applicable recommendations
of BW;
b. the buyer promptly notifying BW of any defect and, if required, promptly making the product available for correction. No goods shall be returned to BW

Since some countries or states do not allow limitation of the term of an implied warranty, or exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, the limitations
and exclusions of this warranty may not apply to every buyer. If any provision of this warranty is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such
holding will not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.

aCautions
Ŗ Warning: Substitution of components may impair Intrinsic Safety
s Before using the detector, refer to Sensor Poisons and Contaminants.
Ŗ Caution: For safety reasons, this equipment must be operated and serviced
by qualified personnel only. Read and understand the operator’s manual
completely before operating or servicing.
s Charge the detector before first-time use. BW Technologies by Honeywell
recommends the detector be charged after every workday.
s Calibrate the detector before first-time use and then on a regular schedule,
depending on use and sensor exposure to poisons and contaminants. BW
Technologies by Honeywell recommends that the sensor should be calibrated
regularly and at least once every 180 days (6 months).
s Calibrate only in a safe area that is free of hazardous gas in an atmosphere
of 20.9% oxygen.
s BW Technologies by Honeywell recommends to bump test the sensor before
each day’s use to confirm its ability to respond to gas by exposing the
detector to a gas concentration that exceeds the alarm setpoints. Manually
verify that the audible, visual, and vibrator alarms are activated. Calibrate
if the readings are not within the specified limits.
s Any rapid upscaling reading followed by a declining or erratic reading
may indicate a gas concentration beyond upper scale limit, which can be
hazardous.
s For use only in potentially explosive atmospheres where oxygen
concentrations do not exceed 20.9% (v/v).
s Extended exposure of the detector to certain concentrations of combustible
gases and air may stress an detector element that can seriously affect its
performance. If an alarm occurs due to high concentration of combustible
gases, calibrate the detector. If necessary, replace the sensor.
Ŗ Warning: The lithium battery may present a risk of fire or chemical burn
hazard if misused. Do not disassemble, heat above 212°F (100°C), or
incinerate.
Ŗ Warning: Lithium polymer cells exposed to heat at 266°F (130°C) for 10
minutes can cause fire and/or explosion.
s e Warning: This detector contains a lithium polymer battery. Dispose of
used lithium cells immediately. Do not disassemble. Do not dispose of in fire.
Do not mix with the solid waste stream. Spent batteries must be disposed
of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler.
s Keep lithium cells away from children.
s Deactivating the detector by removing the battery pack may cause improper
operation and harm the detector.
s e Warning: At the end of their working lives, sensors must be disposed
of in an environmentally safe manner, in accordance with local waste
management requirements and environmental legislation.Do NOT incinerate
sensors as they may emit toxic fumes.
