ventilator. The internal dual battery system can provide up to 10 hours of operation at standard
settings when new and fully charged. This system assures continued support during transport,
daily activities or power outages.
The detachable Power Pac is “hot-swappable.” That is, if more battery time is needed, a depleted
Power Pac can easily be removed from the back of the ventilator and replaced with a recharged
Power Pac without interrupting ventilation. No tools are needed. The secondary backup battery
maintains operation without interruption when the Power Pac is swapped out and also provides
a minimum of 30 minutes of full operation when all other power sources are depleted. The Power
Pac weighs 2 pounds and is charged anytime the ventilator is connected to an external power
source (AC or DC). It can also be charged separately.
The ventilator may be operated from a variety of AC (100–240 V AC @ 50/60 Hz) or DC (12–24 V
DC) external power sources or from the internal dual battery system. The optional DC auto lighter
power adapter accessory enables connection to an automobile-type DC outlet. Any time the ven-
tilator is connected to external power, both batteries in the internal dual battery system are
charging, whether or not the ventilator is in use.
