General Notices
| • | For Declaration of Conformity, please visit the product page on MSAsafety.com. |
| • | This product incorporates Bluetooth wireless technology. |
| • | Alternative use or use outside manufacturer specifications will be considered non-compliance. This also applies to unauthorized alterations of the product and to commissioning work that has not been carried out by MSA or authorized persons. |
Notice
| • | Use of any charger other than the charger supplied with the device or sold by MSA for use with the ALTAIR io 6 may damage or improperly charge the battery. |
WARNING!
| • | Cellular connectivity is dependent upon signal availability and strength of the wireless service(s) necessary to maintain the communication link. Loss of cellular connectivity will prevent remote communication of alerts and other data from the device to the Grid as well as from the Grid to the device. Low signal strength will delay remote communication of alerts and other data from the device to the Grid as well as from the Grid to the device. Take appropriate precautions in the event of a loss of cellular connectivity or low signal strength. |
| • | When cellular connectivity is restored, data from the time period without cellular connectivity is transmitted to the cloud before the device begins communicating current alerts and data to the Grid. This may result in a delay between when cellular connectivity is restored and when the device can be monitored on the Grid. |
NOTE: The gas detection function of the device is not impaired by cellular connectivity.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
