SET UP AND LOCATION
There are 3 main components to a
LiveO2 System: an Air Separator, a
Reservoir and a High Volume Mask
Kit. Choose a location for your LiveO2
System with all three in mind.
Ideally you will want to nd an
indoor area that is clean, dry and
maintained at comfortable room
temperatures. The area should be
free of mold and mildew, and dust
should be a kept to a minimum.
The environment should be one
of “clean air” that is free of odors
or fumes.
The minimum oor space needed
is 6 x 8 ft. or 48 square feet which
will also accommodate exercise
equipment . The area will also need
a vertical space of about 5 x 7 ft. for
hanging the reservoir.
You will need a standard US 120
volt outlet with enough capacity to
power your system.
LIVEO2
SYSTEM ASSEMBLY
LiveO2 Air Separator
The LiveO2 Air Separator is pro-
fessionally modied in our lab.
It will produce 10 liters per min-
ute of oxygen concentrated air
(+O2) at elevations up to 10,000 ft
(3,048m). The LiveO2 Air Separator
also produces oxygen raried air
in excess of 100 liters per minute.
The raried air (-O2) is comprised
of approximately 25% less oxygen
than atmospheric air (at sea level,
room air is comprised of about 21%
oxygen). At dierent elevations the
oxygen concentrations produced
by the Air Separator will vary due
to changes in atmo-
spheric pressure,
but the relative ratio
of air qualities cap-
tured by the LiveO2
System (+O2 /-O2)
remains consistent.

LiveO2Adaptive Contrast Set Up Guide
Set the ow rate
Turn the air separator ON, power
switch ( I/O) to“I”. Once the unit is
running and producing air, turn
the knob to the left increasing the
ow rate until the ball in the ow
indicator oats just to the middle of
the 10 LPM mark. Checking the ow
rate occasionally and adjusting it
back to 10 LPM is all that is needed
to assure the proper ow rate of the
Air Separator. 
Setting the ow rate above 10 LPM
will overdrive the air separator and
cause lowered oxygen concentra-
tions in the +O2 area of the reser-
voir. For optimal performance of
the LiveO2 System, maintain the
setting at 10 LPM.
WARNING: No smoking while
separator is running or lling.
Keep all sources of open ame 10
feet away from the air separator
at all times.
Note: Humidifying air sources lead-
ing into the reservoir is not advised.
If you have questions or the need
to humidify the breathing air after
it has passed through the reservoir,
call tech support to learn how to do
this safely.
Oxygen is a key component of com-
bustion. It is advised that the LiveO2
System not be exposed to or operated
in the presence of open ames or pos-
sible spark sources. When inated,
the reservoir contains a large volume
of oxygenated air that is under very
little pressure (~ 2 psi). Oxygen con-
centrated air accelerates combustion. 
LiveO2 Adaptive
Contrast Reservoir
The LiveO2 reservoirs have semi
permeable areas and vents built in.
The LiveO2 reservoirs cannot be
overlled
or damaged
by leaving
the system
running/ll-
ing.The -O2
section of the
reservoir (bottom corner) is
specially designed to vent excess
-O2 air into the room. By design,
a 2 inch vent in this corner allows
excess -O2 air to escape.
Should the unit be turned o with
a full reservoir, the +O2 air will
hold its concentration for about an
hour.Up to an hour, the air in the
+O2 reservoir can still be used, pro-
vided the system is turned ON prior
to starting the session. Otherwise
we recommend setting the selector
switch to +O2, pressing the air out
of the reservoir and relling the unit
with the selector switch set to -O2.
As an alternative to pressing the
air out of the reservoir the switch
can be set to +O2 (without a mask
attached) and the reservoir will
passively empty overnight.

For hanging a LiveO2 Reservoir you
will need a vertical area of about
5 x 7 ft. The reservoir can be hung
in several ways depending upon the
size of the room and planned zone
of use. 
• For a large room with high
ceilings – a stand alone frame
is suggested. If you purchased
a frame, hanging instructions
are included with the frame
assembly. 
• For hanging on a wall or for
temporary installation, use the
self-adhesive hooks included.
Follow the instructions on the
adhesive hooks for mounting to
get the best results. Place these
LiveO2Adaptive Contrast Set Up Guide
hooks approximately 4 1/2 ft.
apart, and at least 7 1/2 ft. high
on the wall allowing room for
the reservoir to expand without
restriction. When full, the res-
ervoir will press o the wall to
about 2 1/2 ft. in a large wedge
pillow shape. 
• For hanging from a ceiling,
beam or rafter, use a xed hook
or strap so that the corners are
approximately 4 1/2 ft. apart
and at least 7 1/2 ft. o the oor.
If the LiveO2 reservoir is being
hung parallel to a wall, the
hooks should be set at least 8”
inches away from the wall. This
will allow the reservoir to hang
at when not in use and when
full it will inate to a rectangu-
lar pillow shape that is about 2
feet(0.6 meters) thick.
Attention: Once the
reservoir is hung the
black cable with + / -
switch must be
uncoiled to allow
full function of the
reservoir valve.

LiveO2Adaptive Contrast Set Up Guide
Hose Connections
Your LiveO2 System has three dier-
ent hoses that need to be connect-
ed prior to use.
1. The -O2 Hose (a larger diameter
reinforced silicone hose coming
from the base of the air sep-
arator) connects directly into
the output tube at the bottom
corner of the reservoir. This is
the -O2 hose that lls the
smaller portion of the reservoir
with oxygen depleted air.
2. The +O2 Hose -
A smaller diameter silicone hose
that connects to the output
nozzle on the front of the air
separator. This is the +O2hose
that lls the larger section of the
reservoir with oxygen concen-
trated air.
3. The Breather Hose - A light
weight 8 ft. exible hose that is
attached to the valve output on
the side of
the reservoir.
This is the
breather
hose and
it connects
directly to
the top
port of the
high volume
breather mask.
High Volume Mask Kit
Included with your LiveO2 System
is a deluxe mask kit with both a
silicone and a neoprene strap. You
will only need one of these straps to
secure the mask. We include both
to accommodate and establish a
personal preference. 
This mask is intended for use with
LiveO2 System only.

7
Inating Mask Pillow
To inate the mask:
In the Mask Kit there is a syringe
plunger that is used to inate or
deate the air pillow of the mask
to provide the best t. 2/3 full is a
good place to start. The best t will
create a comfortable seal all the way
around the mask that only allows air
to ow in and out from valve ports
in the front of the mask.
To check for a good mask t:
1. Place mask on face (with or
without a strap).
2. Breathe in and out gently.
3. While breathing in, place your
hand over the top port (inow)
of the mask.
4. Your inhalation should stop
quickly and the mask should
create an immediate suction,
pulling the mask onto the face.
5. If you have a gap, the suction
will not be immediate or strong
enough, indicating additional
mask adjustment is needed.
Mask Straps Neoprene
or / Silicone
Using either strap (silicone or
neoprene) nd the comfortable t
that holds the mask snugly in place
without being loose. It should be
just tight enough to keep the mask
on your face while exercising. 
Prior to each use of your mask
check the teal septum (xed exi-
ble valve) in each port. These septa
valves provide the correct ow
pattern for the mask. To function
properly, they should be lying at in
the mask port. Occasionally during
washing they can become mis-
aligned, catching in a folded pattern
under the septum support pin. In
this case the septum can be easily
adjusted with a Q-tip until they lay
at and are free to ex in the proper
direction. Do not remove the septa
from the mask.

It is recommended that each user
have his or her personal mask.
Cleaning the mask after each use is
strongly recommended.
Mask Washing Instructions;
1. Shortly after each use, wash
contaminated masks in warm
water and a mild non-fragrant
liquid soap solution.
2. Move the mask up and down in
the soapy solution to assure the
septa valves are being washed
as well.
3. Lightly scrub all surfaces and
then rinse well with tap water
4. Make a simple decontamination
solution of 1 part white distilled
vinegar and 2 parts water.
5. Move the mask up and down in
the vinegar solution to assure
septa valves are being decon-
taminated as well.
6. Soak mask in the water and
vinegar solution for 30 minutes.
7. Rinse well with tap water and
set out to dry in room air on a
clean paper towel.

It is also recommended that the
breather hose is washed and
cleaned when contamination is
suspect or at user specied intervals
(e. g., monthly).
Breather Hose Washing Instructions;
1. Wash contaminated hoses in
warm water and a mild non-fra-
grant liquid soap solution.
2. Move the hose up and down in
the soapy solution to assure the
entire length is being washed.
3. Rinse well with tap water.
4. Make a simple decontamination
solution of 1 part white distilled
vinegar and 2 parts water.
5. Move the hose up and down in
the vinegar solution to assure
the entire length is being de-
contaminated.
6. Soak hose (submerged) in the
water and vinegar solution for
30 minutes .
7. Rinse well with tap water and
hang to dry in a warm dry area.

Pulse Oximeter
An oxygen pulse oximeter is also
included with your LiveO2 System.
When attached to your nger it
will measure the amount of oxygen
being carried by your blood. It will
also display your pulse. Besides
listening to your body these are
two important
metrics that
help track your
LiveO2 training.
Enclosed with
your Oximeter is
a product spe-
cic instruction
guide.
START-UP
Initial Start Up
Once the LiveO2 System is com-
pletely set up we recommend an
initial run-in period of 5 hours as
a pre-use assur-
ance that the
LiveO2 System
has calibrated
after shipping.
To perform the
System Flush:
1. Turn the air
separator
unit ON (“I”). Set to 10 LPM.
2. When lling the reservoir, make
sure the handle is set to the“Fill”
position.
3. Monitor the system. It should
be lling and the amber light
should not be lit. After approx-
imately one hour slide the con-
trol switch to +(a mask should
not be attached to the breather
hose).
4. After approximately 5 hours,
the reservoir is now ready for
use and completely full.
5. If you are not ready to use the
system, turn o the air separa-
tor and set the control switch
to +so that the unused
oxygenated air can passively
escape the reservoir.
Prior to Each Use
1. Fill the LiveO2 Reservoir
a. Push out any residual air in
the reservoir with the control
switch set to +(a mask
should not be attached).
b. Turn on the air separator to ll
the reservoir with the control
switch set to –.
c. Let the system ll for
approximately 1 hour prior
to use (20 liter system ll time
is 20 minutes).
2. When the LiveO2 AC System is
in use the air separator must
remain ON to produce not only
–air but also additional +.

SEPARATOR
TROUBLESHOOTING
Each LiveO2 Air Separator draws
about 6 amps of power on a 120
volt circuit. If there is insucient
voltage or amperage the air separa-
tor will not run properly. A standard
ungrounded wall plug typically has
sucient power to operate the unit,
provided the circuit is not overload-
ed. Each unit has a built in circuit
breaker to protect it from power
surges. The small round black but-
ton on the front of the air separator
resets the internal surge protec-
tor. Plug the air separator unit in
before turning the unit on .
The amber light on the front of the
air separator serves as a low oxy-
gen indicator. The monitor’s amber
light remains ON until the oxygen
concentration reaches 85% ±3%
(approximately two minutes). If the
amber light stays lit continuous-
ly it is an indication that the air
separator is producing less than
optimal oxygen concentrations.
In this case a troubleshooting
process needs to begin prior to
using the LiveO2 System. Consult
the AirSep manual or call LiveO2
tech support for assistance at (970)
372-2430.
