5. Prior to use, test a running instrument and hot air probe for
air leakage.Air leaks can cause diluted samples, provide inac-
curatereadingsandinvalidtests.
First, block the inlet of the instrument with your finger for ap-
proximately 5 seconds. The display should read “FLOW
BLOCKED” andawarning beep willsoundifall seals areintact.
