| 26. Insert speech diaphragm, install retainer ring and tighten with spanner. | |
| 27. The belt and harness must be dried prior to storage, to prevent growth of mold and fungus. | |
| 28. The pressure reducer, minimum valve, and oxygen hoses must be replaced every 10 years. | |
| 29. The Connect ECU pressure sensor converts pressure into digital signal. | |
| 30. The cylinder connector and cylinder valve must not be contaminated with oil or grease. | |
| 31. Two TX10 screws are used in the battery cover of the electronics assembly. | |
| 32. Rubber parts must be particularly protected from direct exposure to radiation. | |
| 33. Do not use any solvents, such as acetone, alcohol, benzene, white spirit, trichloroethylene, etc. for cleaning rubber and silicone parts. | |
| 34. The first low pressure warning occurs when the pressure drops to approximately 650 psi. | |
| 35. At the first low pressure warning approximately 75% of the oxygen has been used up. | |
| 36. The last low-pressure warning occurs when the pressure drops to approximately 150 psi. | |
| 37. During the low-pressure warning test, the alarm should activate at approximately 650 psi for a 4-hour apparatus. | |
| 38. At the last low-pressure warning approximately 95% of the oxygen has been used up. | |
| 39. To start the main alarm, press the Yellow panic button in center of the Connect ECU. | |
| 40. When the first low pressure warning occurs, the alarm sounds intermittently, the red LED flashes, and the screen of the Connect ECU turns red. | |
| 41. When the last low-pressure warning occurs, the alarm sounds intermittently without stopping and the red LED flashes constantly. | |
| 42. Medium pressure is delivered to the minimum valve. | |
| 43. The drain valve opens at between 10 and 25 mbar. | |
| 44. The BG-ProAir breathing circuit is designed with an air cooler that can be filled with ice packs or phase change material to reduce the temperature of the inhaled breath. | |
| 45. Remove the Tally Key to activate the motion sensor. | |
| 46. All parts which come in contact with the exhaled air must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after use. | |
| 47. Disinfect parts by immersing them in a disinfectant bath using an approved disinfectant. | |
| 48. Slide the minimum valve into the slot in the breathing bag. | |
| 49. All parts which have been disinfected should be rinsed thoroughly under running water. | |
| 50. CO2 absorber is not approved for use after indicated expiration date. | |
| 51. The maximum temperature of the air used to dry parts should not go above 60 degree C (140-degree F). | |
| 52. U.S. Department of Transportation requires hydro tests on composite cylinders every 5 years. | |
| 53. The O-ring under the speech diaphragm should be lubricated with Dow Corning 111. | |
| 54. The BG-ProAir is approved for use at temperatures above -6 degree C (21-degree F). | |
| 55. A defective pressure reducer should be replaced as needed. | |
| 56. Only oxygen (medical grade or better) with > 99.5% purity is to be used to fill the BG-ProAir oxygen cylinders. | |

| 69. A minimum of 2175 psi is needed for a Connect ECU to perform a proper high pressure leak test. | |
| 70. The drain valve opens between 10 and 25 mbar and is therefore out of the RZ reading range. | |
