therapy, follow these steps (If using a prell, go to Step 3.):
1. Fill the humidier bottle per manufacturer's instructions.
2. Thread the wing nut located on the top of the humidier bottle to the
oxygen outlet port so that it is suspended. Make sure it is securely
tightened.
3. Attach the 5/32" (4 mm) I.D. oxygen tubing, not to exceed 50 feet (15
meters) plus 7 feet (2.1 meters) of cannula, directly to the humidier bottle

2. Follow the Operating Instructions.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the power cord completely from the strap. Make sure the power
switch is in the “Off” position.
2. 120 Volt Units– Insert the plug into an electrical outlet. The Drive DeVilbiss

defeat this safety feature.
Improper use of the power cord and plugs can cause a burn, re, or
other electric shock hazards. Do not use the unit if the power cord is
damaged.
