Battery Operation

Note:
The battery use time that is displayed on the monitor is an estimate only. It can be affected by many factors,
such as the environmental temperature, age of battery, etc. Also, battery use time will change as
ventilation conditions change. Do not rely solely on this estimate. Check the battery charge level indicator
frequently to confirm actual battery consumption.
When installing a replacement Power Pac during battery operation, always ensure that the charge
level LED (located on the bottom of the Power Pac) is green, indicating that the charge level is
approximately 90% or higher. Attach the Power Pac to the ventilator and power it on to verify the
actual charge level percentage (shown in the message display area).

Best Use Tips
When the battery use time begins to encroach on the user’s lifestyle or impede transport times, it
is time to replace the Power Pac battery pack (BAT3271A). Use these tips to help prolong the life
of the batteries.
•
Always keep the Power Save function on.
•
Use an external power source when possible. For example, when traveling, use the optional DC auto
lighter power adapter accessory to power the ventilator from an automobile lighter outlet.
•
Always have a backup power source nearby, such as an extra Power Pac battery pack. When the
Switching to Backup Battery alarm is activated, install the fresh Power Pac or plug into external power.
This alarm means a minimum of 30 minutes of the emergency backup battery time is left.
•
Keep both the Power Pac and backup battery fully charged. Partially discharged batteries will age
faster.

Note:
Remember, the internal dual battery system is charging anytime the ventilator is connected to external AC
or DC power.
