SECTION 8—TRAVELING
INFORMATION
The Polaris EX CPAP unit requires a domestic 120VAC, 60Hz
electrical power supply.
Standard commercial travel power adapter kits that allow
connecting to different style power outlets can be used with
the Polaris EX.
Kits that provide transformers MUST be capable of providing
0.4 amps at 120 VAC.
In locations where AC line voltage is unavailable, the use of
an electrical power supply inverter allows the unit to operate
using the DC voltage of a battery. The electrical power supply
inverter (DC to AC) requires a capacity of 100W or more to
ensure proper unit operation.
No adjustments are necessary for operation at different
altitude levels within the range specified in the typical
product parameters.
NOTE: If you are traveling to a location with a high altitude, defined
as an altitude above 1,500 feet above sea level, you will need to adjust
the Polaris EX CPAP’s altitude setting.
Adjusting the Altitude Setting
1. While in Standby mode, press the up ( ) button for
approximately four (4) seconds.
2. Press the up ( ) button to select “User Settings”.
3. The current altitude setting will appear on the display, use
the up ( ) and down ( ) buttons to change the setting
to either “YES” or “NO”.
