| 39. At the first low pressure warning approximately 75% of the oxygen has been used up | |
| 40. The last low-pressure warning occurs when the pressure drops to approximately 145 psi. | |
| 41. During the low-pressure warning test, the alarm should activate at approximately 700 psi for a 4-hour apparatus. | |

| 43. To start the main alarm, press the Yellow panic button in center of the Sentinel. | |
| 44. When the first low pressure warning occurs, the alarm sounds intermittently for approximately 30 seconds and the red LED flashes constantly. | |
| 45. When the last low-pressure warning occurs, the alarm sounds intermittently without stopping and the red LED flashes constantly. | |
| 46. Medium pressure in the BG-4 is between 58 psi and 64 psi. | |
| 47. Medium pressure is delivered to the minimum valve. | |
| 48. The drain valve opens at more than 10 mbar. | |
