Manually Calibrating G6 Using a Calibration Cap and Tube

How to manually calibrate G6 using a calibration cap and tube.

  1. Attach the tubing to the calibration cap.
  2. Ensure the other end of the tubing is attached to a fixed flow regulator on the gas tank.
    Important:

    Do not open the gas cylinder until G6 instructs you to.

  3. From the Home screen, select by pressing the center button.
  4. Using the navigation buttons, scroll through the Global Navigation menu, then select Compliance by pressing the center button ().
    The Compliance screen opens, displaying when your device's next bump test and calibration are due.
  5. To access the available Compliance procedures, select by pressing the right button.
    The available Compliance procedures display.
  6. Using the navigation buttons, scroll through the procedure options, then select Calibration by pressing the center button ().
    The Calibration screen opens.
    Note:

    To cancel the calibration and exit the workflow, at any time, press the left button.

  7. To start the calibration workflow, select by pressing the right button.

    G6 performs a hardware self test of your device's lights, sound, and vibration.

    G6 zeros the sensor before calibration starts.

  8. Attach the calibration cap to G6, then turn on the gas.

    G6 automatically detects the gas and starts the calibration.

  9. Once the calibration successfully completes, turn off the gas, then disconnect the cap from your G6.
  10. Select by pressing the right button.

    G6 stays in the calibration maintenance state while any residual gas clears.
    Important:

    If you cancel the calibration or if the calibration fails, you must turn off the gas and allow any excess gas to clear prior to disconnecting your device.

If the calibration fails, the device updates to a calibration overdue status.

If the calibration is canceled, the device remains in the status it was prior to the canceled calibration.

Important:

If G6 is experiencing a sensor error, you cannot perform a calibration until the sensor error is resolved.
