OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE USING THE IFECHOICE ACTIVOX POC
FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. The Life hoice Activox PO should be charged for a minimum of
four hours before initial use. Begin charging by connecting the A
Adapter/ harger to the Life hoice Activox PO and plugging it
into an electrical outlet.
2. Make sure to verify that the Battery heck LED labeled INT is solid
green. This indicates that the system recognizes the external power
source and is charging the internal battery.
If an external battery was purchased with the Life hoice Activox
PO , connect it to the External Battery Port. It should take
approximately three hours to fully charge the external battery (with
internal battery already fully charged), and seven hours to charge
both the internal and external batteries together. (See Battery
harging section for more details.)
Unless an optional external battery charger has been purchased
separately, the external battery can only be charged when
connected directly to the Life hoice Activox PO . ( ontact your
PO provider or customer support for information on purchasing
the optional charger.) Never use an external battery that is not
authorized by Inova Labs Inc.
3. The Life hoice Activox PO is recommended and designed to be
operated and stored in its carrying case at all times.
4. onnect the nasal cannula securely to the Life hoice Activox PO
cannula nozzle fitting.
POWERING THE IFECHOICE ACTIVOX POC
The Life hoice Activox PO can be powered in four different ways:
(1) internal battery, (2) A Adapter/ harger, (3) D Adapter/ harger,
or (4) external battery (optional, sold separately from the Standard
Package). The rechargeable batteries are maintenance-free and can
only be purchased at the factory or through an authorized repair facility.
The following specifics apply to each of the four modes (listed above)
of powering the Life hoice Activox PO :
1. Internal Battery: A rechargeable
internal battery is located within

When the Life hoice Activox PO is being powered from the
internal battery, the Battery heck LED labeled INT will be
slowly flashing. Pushing the Battery heck Button will display
the charge level of the internal battery.
If not connected to the A or D Adapter/ harger, the internal
battery will slowly discharge over time even when not in use. Always
check the battery level prior to use to ensure adequate charge level.
2. AC Adapter/Charger: An A Adapter/ harger allows the Life hoice
Activox PO to be powered from a
standard 100-240 VA , 50/60 Hz
outlet. When the unit is operated from
an A Adapter/ harger, power from
the A outlet powers the unit and
recharges the internal and/or external
battery. (See Battery harging
section for details.)
Using an A Adapter/ harger that is not specified by Inova Labs
Inc. for use with the Life hoice Activox PO may damage the unit
and will void all warranties.
3. DC Adapter/Charger: A D Adapter/ harger can be connected
from the Life hoice Activox PO unit to a vehicle’s (car, boat, motor
home, etc.) standard 12 VD outlet.
When the system is connected to the
D outlet, power from the vehicle battery
powers the Life hoice Activox PO unit
and recharges the internal and/or
external battery. (See Battery harging
section for details.)
The 12 VD outlets in some pre-2000
model cars will not provide sufficient current to operate the PO
and charge the battery at the same time. Verify that any D outlet
used can provide at least 10 amps at 12 VD . ( ar auxiliary power
varies significantly; therefore the rate of charging will vary.)
4. External Battery: To power the Life hoice Activox PO from an external
battery, connect the external battery to the external battery connector
port. A fully charged external battery will supply power to the Life hoice
Activox PO for 3 hours. (Reference Battery Life table since actual time
will vary depending upon breath rate and Pulse Setting.)
When the Life hoice Activox PO is being powered from the
external battery, the Battery heck LED labeled EXT will be slowly
flashing. Pushing the Battery heck Button will display the charge
level of the external battery.
NOTE: After turning on the Life hoice Activox PO , allow 30 seconds
for the unit to reach stated performance.
BATTERY CHARGING
To charge the internal and/or external battery, connect the Life hoice
Activox PO to either an A or D Adapter/ harger and a suitable
outlet. If the external battery is being charged, also connect the external
battery to the External Battery Port. onfirm that one of the Battery
heck LEDs, either INT or EXT, is solid green. This indicates that an
A or D external power source has been recognized and that battery
charging is in progress.
If an external battery is connected to the Life hoice Activox PO , it is
important to understand the battery charging sequence. By design,
the internal battery is charged first. That means that the external battery
will not start charging until the internal battery is charged to a 100%
level. Use the INT and EXT Battery heck LEDs to determine which (if
any) batteries are charging.
To check the battery charge level while charging is in progress, press
the Battery heck Button. The charge level will be displayed as indicated
in the Battery harge Indicator section (See User ontrols). When a
battery is fully charged, the corresponding Battery heck LED (INT or
EXT) will be off.
It takes a minimum of four hours for a fully discharged internal battery
to reach a 100% charge level. If both internal and external batteries
are fully discharged, it can take up to seven hours to achieve a 100%
charge level in both batteries. It is recommended to recharge the
batteries, even if only partially depleted, as often as possible. The
batteries cannot be overcharged, and it is recommended to leave the
Life hoice Activox PO plugged in via the A or D Adapter/ harger
as often as possible.
In the event the power supply is interrupted to the Life hoice Activox
PO when the A or D charger is being used, a two-second audible
alarm will sound to inform you that power has been lost. heck that
the charger has been properly connected to the power supply.
The rechargeable batteries are maintenance-free and can only be
exchanged at the factory.
NOTE: If the Life hoice Activox PO is powered off and either the A
or D Adapter/ hargers are connected to the Life hoice Activox PO
after charging is complete, the internal fans may continue to operate
for an additional period of time until the temperature inside the unit is
sufficiently cool.
REPRESSURIZATION
If the unit has not been used for a period of one or more days, it will
automatically repressurize itself. During this time, you may hear the
compressors running for a few seconds.

The Life hoice®Activox Portable Oxygen oncentrator Model XY 100B is
intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below. The
customer or the user of the Model XY 100B should assure that it is used in
such an environment.
NOTE 1: At 80MHz and 800MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propa-
gation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.
aField strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast and
TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electro-
magnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey
should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the
Model XY 100B is to used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above,
the Model XY 100B should be observed to verify normal operation. If the abnormal
performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as
re-orienting or relocating the Model XY 100B.
bOver the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

DISPOSA
Inova Labs expects end users to dispose of Life hoice Activox PO in
an environmentally friendly way. Electrical and electronic equipment
is labeled with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol indicating that the
equipment should be disposed of by the end user separate from other
types of waste. The Life hoice Activox PO device contains lithium-ion
batteries, and end users should contact Inova Labs or their local
distributor for disposal, collection and recycling options and terms
and conditions for their country. In 2002, the European Union
introduced the Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(WEEE). The main aim of the Directive is to ensure that WEEE is
collected and treated separately. WEEE items may contain hazardous
substances that should not end up in the human environment and can
have adverse effects on it if they do.
