cabinet and allow exhaust air to freely leave the exhaust vent at
the bottom right of the device.
Place the device such that the alarms can be heard.
Position the oxygen supply tubing in such a way that it does not
kink or occlude.
Note: 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.)
Note: When the automobile in which you are using the Oxygen Con-
centrator 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.
WARNING: DO NOT USE YOUR OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR IN
THE PRESENCE OF FLAMMABLE GASES. THIS CAN RESULT
IN RAPID BURNING CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, BODILY
INJURIES OR DEATH. USE NO OIL, GREASE, OR PETROLEUM-BASED
OR OTHER FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS WITH THE OXYGEN-CARRYING
ACCESSORIES OR THE OXYGEN CONCENTRATOR. ONLY WATER
BASED, OXYGEN COMPATIBLE LOTIONS OR SALVES SHOULD BE USED.
OXYGEN ACCELERATES THE COMBUSTION OF FLAMMABLE SUB-
STANCES.
WARNING: THIS DEVICE SUPPLIES HIGH-CONCENTRATION OXYGEN
THAT PROMOTES RAPID BURNING. DO NOT ALLOW SMOKING OR
OPEN FLAMES WITHIN THE SAME ROOM OF (1) THIS DEVICE, OR (2)
ANY OXYGEN-CARRYING ACCESSORY. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS
WARNING CAN RESULT IN SEVERE FIRE, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND/
OR CAUSE PHYSICAL INJURY OR DEATH.
CAUTION: Do not operate unit in a restricted or confined
space (i.e., a small case or handbag) where ventilation
can be limited. This can cause the Oxygen Concentrator to
overheat and impair performance. 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.
