CAUTION: Position the unit away from
curtains or drapes, hot air registers or
heaters. Be certain to place the unit
on a flat surface and make sure all
sides are at least 1 foot (30 cm) away
from a wall or other obstruction. Do
not place the unit in a confined area.
Choose a dust and smoke free-loca-
tion away from direct sunlight. Do
not operate the unit outdoors unless
the unit is plugged into a Ground
Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) pro-
tected outlet.
CAUTION: Do not operate this unit in a restrict-
ed or confined space where ventilation can be
limited. This can cause the device to overheat
and affect performance.
CAUTION: Do not allow either the air intake or
the air outlet vents to be blocked. DO NOT drop
or insert any object into any openings on the
device. This can cause the
CAUTION: Oxygen Concentrator to overheat
and impair performance.
1. Locate the unit near the electrical outlet in the
room where you spend most of your time.
2. Insert the power cord plug into the electrical
outlet.
3. Set the I/0 power switch to the "I" position to
turn the unit on. An audible alarm will loudly
sound for approximately 1 seconds.
4. The low oxygen concentration indicator remains
on for a few minutes and until the oxygen
concentration reaches minimum concentration
requirements, (only pertains to unit equipped
with an Oxygen Monitor)
5. To set the flow of supplemental oxygen, turn the
flowmeter adjustment knob left or right until the
ball inside the flowmeter centers on the flow line
number prescribed by your physician. To view
the flowmeter at the proper angle, note that the
back line and the front number line must give
appearance of one line.
6. The concentrator is now ready for use.

CAUTION: The Manufacturer rec-
ommends an alternate source of
supplemental oxygen in the event
of a power outage, alarm condition,
or mechanical failure. Consult your
physician or Equipment Provider for
the type of reserve system required.
CAUTION: It is very important to select only the
prescribed level of oxygen. Do not change the
flow selection unless you have been directed to
do so by a licensed clinician.
CAUTION: The Oxygen Concentrator may be
used during sleep under the recommendation
of a licensed clinician
CAUTION: Ensure concentrator is operated in an
upright position.
Note: Optimal oxygen concentration is obtained
within 10 minutes after the device is switched
on (90% of the concentration is obtained after
approximately 5 minutes).
Normally, you should not need to adjust the
flowmeter on your unit. If you turn the flowmeter
adjustment knob clockwise, you will decrease and
can shut off the flow of oxygen from your unit.
Turning the Concentrator Off
Set the I/0 power switch to the "0" position to turn
off the unit.
