SETTING UP YOUR POC
Before using your device for the first time, fully charge the Internal and if purchased, External Battery.
1. Connect the AC Power Supply to the device and
an electrical outlet.
2. Verify that the INT Battery Bar, External Power
Symbol and message “Charging INT” appear on the
display. This indicates the system recognizes the
external power source and is charging the Internal
Battery.
3. It can take up to 4 hours to charge a completely
depleted Internal Battery. When the battery is fully
charged, the message “Charging INT” will disappear
from the display.

CHARGING THE INTERNAL BATTERY
1. Connect the External Battery to the External
Battery Port on the device. The flat end of the
plug should be facing upwards when plugging
into the port on the device.
2. Connect the AC Power Supply to the device and
an electrical outlet.
3. Verify that the EXT Battery Bar, External Power
Symbol and message “Charging EXT” appear on
the display. This indicates that the system
recognizes the external power source and
is charging the External Battery.
4. It can take up to 2 hours to charge a completely
depleted External Battery. When the battery is fully
charged, the message “Charging EXT” will disappear
from the display.
CHARGING THE EXTERNAL BATTERY
NOTE: By design, the system will always charge the
Internal Battery first before switching to the External
Battery. Furthermore, the system will deplete the External
Battery first to preserve the Internal Battery as long as
possible.

OPERATING YOUR POC
5
1. Briefly press and release the Power Button.
The display screen and green Power Indicator
will illuminate.
2. Press the +or –button to select to the pulse setting
prescribed by your doctor.
3. Place the nasal cannula onto the nasal cannula
fitting on the device and the cannula prongs in your
nose and breathe normally. The device detects
when you take a breath and delivers oxygen in
PULSE-WAVE™ doses. The PULSE-WAVE™ symbol
___ will flash on and off as you breathe.
4. To turn off, press and hold the Power Button until
you hear a beep.
NOTE: The device utilizes PULSE-WAVE™ Delivery
which delivers oxygen congruent with your inhalation
rate. Because this type of delivery is very gentle, you
may not feel the pulse of oxygen. To verify that oxygen
is being delivered, reference the symbol next to
your selected Pulse Setting on the display. This symbol
will flash every time a breath is detected and a bolus
of oxygen is delivered.
NOTE: If you remove the nasal cannula while the
device is on or breathe through your mouth for an
extended period of time, you may trigger the “No
Breath” alarm. Reconnect the cannula or breathe
through your nose to turn the alarm off.

*Hours are approximate and based on a given average breaths per minute use rate.
Breathing faster or slower than nominal can decrease or increase battery run time. As batteries
age, charge times and runtimes may change.
Charging Tips
>It is recommended to keep the device plugged into the AC Power Supply even when
not in use. Also keep the External Battery charged as often as possible. This helps
extend the overall life of the rechargeable batteries. The batteries (both Internal and
External) will not over-charge and the amount of electricity consumed is very small.
>Some vehicles may not have sufficient power output to the DC Power Supply to both
operate and charge the device and/or External Battery. Test your vehicles charging
capabilities prior to taking a trip.
>The fans on the device will turn on to remove heat that is generated during operation
and by charging the batteries.

extended periods of time.
>Try to keep the device out of environments with high moisture, dust or sand.
Who to Call
>If you have a medical emergency, call 911 immediately.
