✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which choice focuses on your physical condition instead of the device’s mechanics • Consider which situation suggests possible lack of breathable air or exposure to toxic atmosphere • Ask: in which case would standard procedure be to evacuate first, troubleshoot later?
