Chapter 2: Operating Instructions

Warning: Do not use extension cords or electrical adapters.
1. Select a location that allows the concentrator to draw in room air without
being restricted. Make sure that the device is at least 15 to 30 cm away
from walls, furniture, and especially curtains that could impede adequate
airflow to the device. Do not place the device near any heat source.
2. After reading this entire manual, plug the power cord into an electrical
outlet. Before plugging the unit into a wall outlet (AC power):
• Verify that the AC power cord is labeled with 120 VAC or 230 VAC.
• Verify that the AC power in the wall outlet matches the voltage that is
labeled on the AC power cord.
• If the AC power in the wall outlet matches the voltage labeled on the
AC power cord, plug the device into the AC wall outlet.
• If the AC power in the wall outlet does not match the voltage labeled
on the AC power cord, do not plug the device into the AC wall
outlet. Contact your health care professional for assistance.
