10. Install the refill absorber in the closed-circuit breathing
apparatus within 8 hours or ensure that it is sealed air-tight

5.2.7.4 Replacing the batteries
5.2.7.4.1 General information
The service life of the batteries depends on the following
factors:
– Operating time of the apparatus
– Alarm frequency
– Ambient temperature
– Frequency of use of backlight
Even when the Connect ECU is switched off, a small amount
of energy is consumed. Dräger therefore recommends
removing the batteries from the apparatus if it will not be in
use for an extended period of time.
Only use approved batteries (see supplement 9300233).
5.2.7.4.2 Replacing the batteries
WARNING
Explosion hazard!
► Only replace the batteries in non-explosion-hazard areas!
1. Unscrew the 2 screws (TX10) from the battery
compartment.
2. Pull the battery carrier out of the closed-circuit breathing
apparatus.
3. Replace old batteries with new, approved batteries.
Ensure that the plus pole is positioned correctly.
4. Check the sealing. Remove the defective sealing using a
sealing ring lifter and replace the sealing.
5. Insert the battery carrier in the battery compartment. If the
battery carrier is stiff, apply a thin layer of Molykote 111 to
the sealings.
6. Tighten the 2 screws with a Torx screwdriver (TX10)
(torque: 1.0±0.2 Nm). The Connect ECU automatically
switches to On mode. An acoustic signal sounds. Various
information and queries are shown on the display.
7. Confirm the battery type.
8. Turn off the Connect ECU.
6 Transport
Condensate forms in the breathing circuit during use. After
use, transport the closed-circuit breathing apparatus in an
upright position so that the condensate can gather in the
drainage valve and breathing bag.

Store the closed-circuit breathing apparatus ready for use in a
dark, cool, dry, dirt-free and dust-free place. Avoid exposure
to UV radiation and ozone.
When the closed-circuit breathing apparatus with CO
2
absorber installed is placed into storage, the breathing circuit
must be closed. Make sure that the protective cap is
positioned on the connecting piece. The compressed oxygen
cylinder must not be installed. The expiration date of the CO
2
absorber must not be exceeded during the next use.
