Note: While operating the device from a 12VDC Cable, the Battery may
not charge.
Note: When operating the eQuinox from a 12VDC Cable, it is recommend-
ed that the Pulse Dose Mode be used if prescribed to use a pulse dose
device.
Note: To ensure that the device is utilizing the DC power, check that the
External Power Indicator is illuminated. If a beep is heard, this could indi-
cate a loss of external power. Check if the green Battery Power Verification
LED is on or off. If the battery is removed on DC power, it will ensure no
loss of charge while the unit is running. If the indicator is not illuminated,
the battery is powering the device.
WARNING: DO NOT ALLOW EITHER THE AIR INTAKE OR THE
AIR OUTLET VENTS TO BECOME BLOCKED. THIS CAN CAUSE
THE OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR TO OVERHEAT AND IMPAIR
PERFORMANCE.
WARNING: IF THE VEHICLE’S DC POWER SOURCE DROPS BELOW 11.5
VOLTS, THE EQUINOX WILL REVERT TO THE BATTERY OPERATION (IF
THE BATTERY IS PRESENT AND CHARGED). (THE EXTERNAL POWER
INDICATOR MAY REMAIN ON.)
Note: Actual performance of the eQuinox may vary depending upon usage
conditions of the motor vehicle.
