CAUTION: Always place oxygen supply tubing and power cords in a
manner that prevents a trip hazard.
CAUTION: When using the Oxygen Concentrator in an automobile,
boat, or on other DC sources with the 12VDC Cable, make sure that
the vehicle is started and running before connecting the Oxygen
Concentrator. If the 12VDC Cable does not illuminate and requires
resetting, disconnect the 12VDC Cable from the DC outlet, restart
