the unit. As long as there is no contact with water,
the filter never needs to be replaced by the user.
After water contact, the unit must be switched
off immediately after exiting the water. The filter
must be replaced before next use. Do not leave the
CYPRES / Filter in a wet condition over a long pe-
riod of time. After a water jump, dry the CYPRES
unit separately from the wet parachute and replace
the filter in a timely manner.
The CYPRES 2 filter changer tool is made from
stainless steel, specifically for the purpose of filter

new filter can be used again.
