  • Numerous user options that can be set according to the intended use of the GasAlertQuattro


    It is important for the user to realize that the GasAlertQuattro is a personal safety device. Proper emergency response training should always be issued in tandem with the instruction on how to use this device. It is the responsibility of the user to understand both the proper maintenance of the GasAlertQuattro and the interpretation of all of the associated alarms.
