WARNING
1. This product is part of a system that helps reduce exposures to certain airborne contaminants. Before use, the wearer must read and
understand the
User Instructions

protection program must be implemented meeting all the requirements of OSHA 1910.134, including training, fit testing and medical

2. The 3M™ Battery Packs TR-630, TR-632, chargers, and the TR-600 PAPR assemblies are
not
intrinsically safe.
Do not use in flammable or
explosive atmospheres. Doing so may result in serious injury or death.
3. Always correctly use and maintain the Lithium-ion battery packs.
Failure to do so may cause fire or explosion or could adversely affect
respirator performance and result in injury, sickness or death.
a. Do not charge batteries with unapproved chargers, in enclosed cabinets without ventilation, in hazardous locations, or near sources of
high heat.
b. Charge in an area free of combustible material and readily monitored.
c. Do not immerse.
d. Do not use, charge, or store batteries outside the recommended temperature limits.
4. Dispose of Lithium-ion battery packs according to local regulations. Do not crush, disassemble, dispose of in standard waste bins, in a fire, or
send for incineration.
Failure to properly dispose of battery packs may lead to environmental contamination, fire or explosion.
5. To reduce exposure to hazardous voltage:
a. Do not attempt to service the chargers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
b. Do not substitute, modify or add parts to the chargers.
c. Inspect the chargers and power cords before use. Replace if any parts are damaged.
d. Do not use the chargers outdoors or in wet environments.
USE OF THE BATTERY PACK AND CHARGER
3M™ Battery Packs TR-630 and TR-632 can provide approximately 250 full charge/discharge cycle equivalents while maintaining 80% of its
original capacity, when used under recommended conditions during its first year of service. Normal use of the battery and natural aging of battery
cells will gradually decrease the battery’s available capacity, which results in a decrease in run time. Use and charging of the battery outside of the
recommended conditions can dramatically and permanently reduce the battery’s available capacity. Batteries may continue to be used as they age, as
long as battery run time is sufficient to power the PAPR for sufficient time to safely perform the given task and exit the contaminated area.
