MN170-1 rev D 8
When the automobile in which you are using the Oxygen Concentrator unit is turned off, disconnect and remove the
device from the automobile. Do not store the Oxygen Concentrator in a very hot or cold automobile or in other
similar, high-or low-temperature environments.
DO NOT leave the Oxygen Concentrator or the Power Supply plugged into the vehicle if the ignition is in the OFF
position. Doing so may drain the vehicle’s battery.
The Manufacturer recommends 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.
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.
The portable Oxygen Concentrator may be used during sleep under the recommendation of a qualified clinician.
If the Oxygen Concentrator has been stored for an extended period of time outside its normal operating temperature
range, the unit should be allowed to return to normal operating temperature before being turned on. (Refer to the
Specifications section in this manual.)
Operating or storing the Oxygen Concentrator outside of its normal operating temperature range can affect
performance and decrease battery run time and/or increase battery charge time. Refer to the Specifications section
in this manual for storage and operating temperature limits.
For oxygen concentrators equipped with batteries: Store in a cool and dry location to help ensure the longevity of
your battery. Storing your Oxygen Concentrator for extended periods of time at high temperatures or with a fully
charged or completely discharged battery can degrade its overall battery life. Do not attempt to open the battery;
there are no serviceable parts inside the battery. Keep batteries away from children.
ONLY USE the Manufacturer’s provided batteries. For proper battery disposal, contact your Equipment Provider or
your local government agency for disposal requirements.
In the event of an alarm or you observe the Oxygen Concentrator is not working properly; consult the
Troubleshooting section in this manual. If you cannot resolve the problem, consult your Equipment Provider.
Do not attempt any maintenance other than the possible solutions listed within this manual. DO NOT remove covers,
only your Equipment Provider or a qualified service technician should remove the covers or service this device.
The US Department of Transportation (DOT) and United Nations (UN) Regulations require the removal of the
battery from the device for all international airline travel when the oxygen concentrator is checked as luggage. When
shipping the oxygen concentrator, the battery must also be removed from the device and packaged properly.
