2 . When correctly connected, the first LED indicates the charging status:
- Quickly flashing orange = battery charging
- Slowly flashing green = battery fully charged
- Slowly flashing red = batteries failed; cannot be recharged

recharge .
3 . When the LED indicates the batteries are fully charged (slowly flashing green), the
unit is ready for operation .
NOTE : When the unit is not in use, it should be connected to the charger to ensure full
battery power is later available. The internal charging circuit prevents over-charging
and provides a continuous maintenance charge when required by the batteries.
storage

shown in Figure 2 .
Disposal
Batteries are recyclable . Do not incinerate or expose to open flames .
Dispose of batteries according to local, state, and federal regulations .
sensoR
The Heated Pentode™ sensor is a precise device that, in conjunction with the
advanced circuit, provides the superior performance of this unit .
The sensor is a consumable element and will eventually require replacement . The
circuit continuously compensates for sensor aging to maintain a constant performance
level; sensitivity and response remain the same throughout the life of the sensor .
