WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Turn
OFF the unit and disconnect the power
cord from the electrical outlet before you
clean the unit to prevent accidental electrical
shock and burn hazard. Only your Equipment
Provider or a qualified service technician
should remove the covers or service the unit.
WARNING: Care should be taken to prevent
the external battery charger, power supply,
and external power cartridge from getting
wet or allowing fluids to enter the unit(s). This
can cause a malfunction or shut down, and
cause an increased risk for electrical shock or
burns.
WARNING: Use only electrical voltage specified on the specification label affixed to the
device.
WARNING: Do not use extension cords with
this unit or connect too many plugs into the
same electrical outlet. The use of extension
cords could adversely affect the performance
of the device. Too many plugs into one outlet
can result in an overload to the electrical panel causing the breaker/fuse to activate or fire
if the breaker or fuse fails to operate.
WARNING: Incorrect use of the External Power
Cartridge can cause the External Power Cartridge to get hot, ignite, and can cause serious
injury. Be sure not to pierce, strike, step on, or
drop the External Power Cartridge, or otherwise subject the External Power Cartridge to
strong impacts or shocks.
WARNING: The use of a damaged external
power cartridge may cause personal injury. DO
NOT expose the external power cartridge to
fire or dispose of in a fire. This may cause the
battery to explode and cause potential injury.
WARNING: DO NOT short-circuit the external
power cartridge’s metal contacts with metallic
objects, such as keys or coins. This may cause
sparks or excessive heat to be generated.
WARNING: There are no user-serviceable
parts. Do not open External Power Cartridge,
charger, or power supply. Only your Equip-
ment Provider or qualified technician
should service the unit.
CAUTION: ONLY USE the Manufacturer’s
provided external power cartridge and
accessories. For proper disposal, contact your
Equipment Provider or your local government
agency for disposal requirements. The external
power cartridge must not be incinerated.
CAUTION: Use only the external charger to
charge the External Power Cartridge.
CAUTION: Use only the universal power supply
supplied with the external power charger to
connect it to AC power.
CAUTION: Failure to follow these instructions
may result in damage to your external power
cartridge, external charger or power supply
and can result in severe bodily injury or property damage.
NOTE: To prevent a void warranty, follow all
manufacturers’ instructions.
NOTE: FOR USE ONLY with AirSep’s Portable
Oxygen Concentrators (POCs), models Focus,
FreeStyle and FreeStyle 5
NOTE: Refer to the Patient Manual of your portable oxygen concentrator (POC) for instructions on
its operation. This manual only covers the use of
the External POC Power Cartridge as an accessory
for extended duration.
NOTE: The manufacturer recommends fully
charging the battery before first use.
NOTE: Depending on the temperature of the
power cartridge, it can take several minutes for
the charging cycle to begin after connecting to
power. This is a normal condition and is intended
for safe charging.
NOTE: The External Power Cartridge does not
need to be fully discharged before recharging. It is
recommended to re-charge after each use.
NOTE: If air travel is in your future plans, it is
recommended you contact your air carrier for O2
operation and limitations.
NOTE: Clean battery, charger and power supply
with a damp, lint-free cloth and mild dish soap. Do
not submerge, direct rinse or place in any water,
fluid or cleaning agent.
