Screen remains 
blank when unit is 
powered up. 
Pump will not run 
when unit is 
powered on. 

1.  Internal battery has 

become discharged. 

 
2.  Internal battery requires 

replacement. 

1.  Plug “Universal Power Supply” into 

the AeroNOx

 and allow to charge 

for at least 30 min. 

2.  Have Biomedical Engineering 

replace the battery. 

“AERONOX

powered off 

1.  Battery is not fully 

charged. 

 
2.  Internal battery requires 

replacement. 

1.  Plug “Universal Power Supply” into 

the AeroNOx

 and allow to charge 

for at least 30 min.
