5.3.1 Troubleshooting and repair
If problems should arise during the use of the unit, which
cannot be solved by referring to the table "Troubleshooting" on
page 47, you should notify DrägerService
authorised service organisation.
Some faults may require that the unit is returned for repair to
Dräger.
For this case we have a repair substitution concept: Directly
after the receipt of the repair request a replacement unit is sent
to you.
1. The faulty unit is packed into the packing of the
replacement unit and the enclosed address label affixed.
2. Send the faulty unit to Dräger as soon as possible.

5.3.2 Battery maintenance
CAUTION
!
The built-in rechargeable battery will be damaged if the
unit is stored with a discharged battery.
For optimal care of the battery, the unit should always be
connected to the mains via the charger. The unit automatically
ensures the best care of the battery (trickle charging).
Recharge the battery immediately after use and avoid storing
the unit with incompletely charged battery.
The Analyzer is equipped with an integrated lead storage
battery. It consumes a small standby current even if switched
off, which can discharge a fully charged battery in approx. two
months. The battery capacity can be retained at an optimum
and for the long term if periods of low charge are avoided.
To do so the following measures are required:
Always operate the Analyzer with the power pack if it is not
being used in mobile applications. A permanent connection
to the mains does not damage the integrated battery, but in
fact preserves its capacity.
For applications in vehicles use the 12V cable available
separately.
In mobile mode, if the unit indicates a low battery charge,
connect the battery charger and fully charge the battery as
soon as possible.
During storage always leave the battery charger
connected.
For long term storage of the unit where it is not possible to
connect the battery charger, fully charge the Analyzer
before placing it into storage and fully charge the battery
every six weeks.
