battery will latch when fully seated.
• Connect the AC/DC power supply by plugging the
round connector into the receptacle on the side of
the concentrator Fig. 3.
• Plug the other end of the AC/DC power supply into a
power outlet. Always use caution when inserting the
power supply to a wall outlet.
• The display shows
The charger is universal and supports a wide variety of
international markets, so it can be plugged into an out-
let with 100-240V AC, 50-60 Hz.
Allow one battery to charge for a minimum of three
hours before use. Once completely charged, the de-
vice can run for up to 4 hours with one battery or 8
hours with two batteries in pulse mode, at 18 breaths
per minute.
IMPORTANT: Battery run time may vary based on breath-
ing rate, age of battery, and environmental conditions.
See displayed text on device for battery charge status.
IMPORTANT: Ensure power status icon (see Fig. 7) indi-
cates power is connected. If not, check that cord is plugged
in completely. (See Chapter 9. Troubleshooting for more
information.)
IMPORTANT: While the concentrator is powered from the
DC power supply and operating in continuous mode at
setting 2, the battery will not charge.
To maximise battery life and run time, avoid letting the
battery deplete and use while connected to a power
source whenever possible. The internal battery will au-
tomatically charge whenever the concentrator is con-
nected to a power source. You can use the device while the battery is charging. The LCD display
will indicate whether the device is operating on battery or external AC power.
The fully charged battery will retain some level of charge for up to thirty days in this device
when not in use - see Caution below for battery removal/storage recommendation.
IMPORTANT: Battery damage may result if the concentrator's battery is allowed to discharge com-
pletely.
IMPORTANT: After 300 charge/discharge cycles, the battery capacity will be at least 80% of its origi-
nal capacity. Replace the battery when the reduced battery life is affecting your mobility.
CAUTION: Remove battery if this device is not going to be used for more than seven days. Store
battery in a cool, dry place.
CAUTION: Check that this device operates on battery after disconnecting from the power
source.
IMPORTANT: When not using the battery inside the unit, be sure to store it in the protective sleeve
that was provided with the original package.
