Warnings and Cautions
Warnings
• Do not store the battery pack in a hot environment. Storage in a hot environment (e.g., automobile in
hot weather, under direct sunlight, in front of a stove, or near a fire) may corrode the battery, ignite,
or create an electrical shock hazard.
• If the battery leaks and the gel spills on the skin or clothing, immediately wash it off with plenty of
water. If the gel comes in contact with your eyes, immediately flush your eyes with plenty of clean
water and seek medical attention.
• The batteries should be used in a ventilated area.
• Do not underestimate the weight of the battery.
Cautions
• Avoid dropping the battery pack. Damage and deterioration of the battery may occur if the battery is
dropped.
• Replace the battery (PN 1028871) if it fails to charge or if you notice a decrease in capacity.
• Inspect the power cord for signs of damage. Discontinue use and replace the charger (enclosure or
cord) if it is damaged.
Refer to the instructions included with your DC Cord or DC Power Adapter for additional warnings and cautions.

Charging the Battery
IMPORTANT! The battery must be in an upright position during use and while charging.
IMPORTANT! Remove the charger from the carrying case before charging.
1. Connect the auto adapter end of the charger into the battery pack socket, located in the front pouch
of the carrying case. See Figure 1.
2. Plug the power cord into the charger.
3. Monitor the LED on the charger while plugging the power cord into the wall outlet and ensure that
it turns RED (the charger LED may turn RED for only a short time before turning ORANGE). If the
charger LED is RED for any length of time, the charger is correctly connected to the battery. If the
charger LED does not turn RED for any length of time, leave the power cord disconnected from the
wall outlet for 3 minutes and repeat this step. If the charger LED does not turn RED, ensure that the
auto adapter is fully seated in the battery pack socket and that the battery and charger fuses are
not blown (see Replacing the Battery Fuse and Replacing the Charger Fuse sections). If the charger
LED still does not turn RED, contact your home care provider. During normal operation, the battery
charger’s LED will appear RED while it is charging. When the battery is 80-95% charged, the LED will
appear ORANGE. When the charger is fully charged, the LED will turn GREEN.
4. After the LED turns GREEN, the charger can be disconnected from the battery.

IMPORTANT! The battery must be in an upright
position during use and while charging. Actual
power consumption will vary according to
prescription pressures and breathing patterns. The
lower the prescription, the less power required.
NOTE: The battery should be fully charged before
use to ensure that the full battery capacity is
available.
NOTE: If you are using a heated humidifier with
your therapy device, the humidifier will not heat
up while connected to DC power. In this mode,
the humidifier acts as a passover, or non-heated
humidifier.
NOTE: The battery adapter cable accessory, used
with the DC Power Adapter, cannot be used with
the Portable Battery Pack.

Connecting the DC Cord
1. Turn off the therapy device.
2. Plug the adapter end of the DC Cord into the battery pack socket. See Figure 5.
3. Plug the connector end of the DC Cord into the therapy device. The LED on the DC Cord will light
when the connections are complete.
